Mathematics
The Mathematics Major
All mathematics majors are required to complete a Major Portfolio. Broadly, the portfolio consists of samples of a student’s mathematical work, evidence of participation in activities of the mathematical community, both within and outside of the University, and reflection of mathematical growth. Portfolio creation generally commences with successful completion of MATH 182 Calculus with Analytic Geometry II and culminates as a graded element of MATH 490 Senior Seminar.
