Concentration Suggestions

You can have many different experiences with your undergraduate math concentration. Here are some suggestions for how you might focus on various sub-topics as you go though the concentration.

These aren't meant to be exhaustive lists of classes you should take, just recommendations for certain classes you might take in order to enhance your experience in a certain direction.

Year 1 Suggestions
