Course Rotation
Not all courses are offered every semester. When you plan your Junior and Senior years, you need to be aware of our Course Rotation. You should especially be aware of which courses are offered in which year. The good news is that this two-year scheme allows us to offer a wide variety of courses. The bad news is that you need to take a particular course in the year when it comes around. So, map out your Mathematics and Statistics courses for your Junior AND Senior years now!! You can certainly change your plans as time moves along. But you should certainly note those courses which you know you want to or need to take. Above all -- SEE YOUR ADVISOR!! HE/SHE KNOWS ALL!!
Note that MA 107, ST 110, MA 151, ST 210, MA 251, MA 252, MA 301, MA 351, and MA 395 are offered every semester.
300 Level Courses
All of these 300 level courses (except ST310) are required for Mathematics majors.
MA301, ST310, MA351, and MA395 are required for Statistics majors. MA302 may be taken as an elective for Statistics majors.
| Fall | Spring |
|---|---|
| MA 301 Linear Algebra | MA 301 Linear Algebra |
| MA 351 Calculus III | MA 302 MATLAB |
| MA 395 Discrete Methods | MA 304 Differential Equations |
| MA 351 Calculus III | |
| MA 395 Discrete Methods | |
| ST 310 Statistical Computing |
400 Level Course Rotation for Mathematics Majors
(and 300-level courses in the two-year rotation)
Note that O/E refers to the academic year in which the Fall semester is an odd numbered
year and the Spring semester is an even numbered year.
E/O is similarly defined.
| Year | Fall | Spring |
| O/E |
MA 421 Analysis I ST 365 SAS Laboratory |
MA 422 Analysis II ST 466 Experimental Design |
| E/O |
MA 421 Analysis I ST 461 Stat Theory I |
MA 442 Group Theory ST 462 Stat Theory II |
400 Level Course Rotation for Statistics Majors
(and 300-level courses in the two-year rotation)
Note that at most two of MA421, MA427, and MA445 may be included in the Statistics
major.
Note that O/E refers to the academic year in which the Fall semester is an odd numbered
year and the Spring semester is an even numbered year.
E/O is similarly defined.
| Year | Fall | Spring |
| O/E |
ST 465 Exp. Research Methods MA 421 Analysis I |
ST 466 Experimental Design |
| E/O |
ST 461 Stat Theory I MA 421 Analysis I |
ST 462 Stat Theory II |
