UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS

    Mathematics is essential to science and engineering, and is a fascinating field in its own right. Scientific and engineering problems have often inspired new developments in mathematics, and conversely mathematical results have frequently had an impact on business, engineering, the sciences and technology. At Stevens, we think that an undergraduate program in mathematics should be broad enough to prepare you for a job in industry, while giving you the background to continue your education at the graduate level, should you choose to do so.

    Your program is created by you and your advisor to meet your needs and goals; it will probably include the traditional sequence of courses. If you are well prepared, you may be granted advanced placement, and you may want to minor in another field, such as civil, computer, electrical, environmental and materials engineering, chemistry, chemical biology, computer science, economics, humanities or physics.

    The course sequence for mathematics is as follows:
