Concentrator Resources

Our resources for math concentrators aim to support students in making informed decisions and effectively planning their academic paths. Resources include course descriptions, as well as recommendations for successfully navigating concentration requirements.

Advising

We want to help you succeed! While there is a formal advising program in place through the Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) team, we encourage you to seek us out informally and ask us questions whenever you want.

Course Planning

There are three broad areas of math: analysis, algebra, and geometry/topology. We offer prerequisite, introductory/intermediate and advanced courses in each of these core areas, and we suggest that you explore a broad spectrum of mathematics by taking at least one in each area.

Course Descriptions

Clear and understandable course descriptions, helpful in demystifying the content and expectations of courses.
