Minors in
Mathematics at SLU
There are two minors in mathematics at Saint Louis University, the
traditional minor in mathematics and a minor in engineering mathematics.
Mathematics
Minor
A minor in mathematics should consist of:
- MATH 142 - Calculus I
- MATH 143 - Calculus II
- MATH 244 - Calculus III
- MATH 266 - Principles of Mathematics
- MATH 315 - Introduction to Linear Algebra
- and one further course in upper division mathematics chosen
with attention to prerequisites.
Engineering Mathematics
Minor
Students seeking a Minor in Engineering Mathematics must complete
four upper-division courses in subjects traditionally of importance
to engineers. Routinely offered upper division courses that count
to the engineering math minor include:
- MATH
311 - Linear Algebra for Engineers
- MATH
315 - Linear Algebra
- MATH
320 - Numerical Analysis
- MATH
355 - Differential Equations
- MATH
370 - Advanced Math for Engineers
- MATH
401 - Probability
- MATH
402 - Statistics
- MATH
403 - Probability and Statistics for Engineers
- MATH
451 - Complex Variables I
- MATH
452 - Complex Variables II
- MATH
455 - Partial Differential Equations
- MATH
457 - Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos
- MATH
465 - Cryptography
Other appropriate mathematics courses may be designated by the
Department of
Mathematics and Computer Science as counting to the minor in
engineering math. Note that the
prerequisites for these courses must also be met.
Comparing the two minors, the traditional minor in mathematics contains
a sequence of courses (MATH 266 and 315) that are proof based and
intended to develop maturity in producing proofs.
