Program Restrictions, Allowances and Recommendations
- Be aware of no co-credit policies. Here is a non-exclusive list of our most common no co-credit policies: no co-credit between
- MATH 3800 Probability and Statistics for Engineers and MATH 4810 Introduction to Probability,
- MATH 3195 Linear Algebra and Differential Equations and MATH 3200 Elementary Differential Equations,
- MATH 3191 Applied Linear Algebra and MATH 3195 Linear Algebra and Differential Equations,
- MATH 4387 Applied Regression Analysis and MATH 4830 Applied Statistics.
- For slash-listed courses:
- MATH 3440 Introduction to Symbolic Logic/PHIL 3440 Introduction to Symbolic Logic.
- MATH 4408 Applied Graph Theory/CSCI 4408 Applied Graph Theory,
- MATH 4650 Numerical Analysis I/CSCI 4650 Numerical Analysis I, and
- MATH 4660 Numerical Analysis II/CSCI 4660 Numerical Analysis II, one can take either the MATH section or the slash-listed section of the course. Either one count towards the minor in MATH.
