To major in Mathematics, a student must take ten courses beyond Calculus II. Up to two of these courses may be replaced by certain courses in related fields approved by the department. The courses in mathematics may not include Math 4, 30, 14, 15, 16, 19, 10, 32, 34, or 39. They must include Math 44 or 42 (Honors Calc III/Calc III), Math 72 or 70 (Abstract Linear Algebra/Linear Algebra), Math 135 (Real Analysis I) and 145 (Abstract Algebra I). Students are encouraged to take Math 72 for exposure to proofs; if Math 70 is selected, they are encouraged to take either Math 61 (Discrete Mathematics) or 63 (Number Theory) in order to prepare them for proofs in analysis and algebra. For depth, students must complete at least one of the four major year-long sequences: Math 135-136 (Real Analysis I/II), Math 145-146 (Abstract Algebra I/II), Math 151-152 (Apps of Advanced Calculus/Nonlinear PDEs), or Math 161-162 (Probability/Statistics). A strong program would include both Math 136 and 146. For breadth, students must either complete a second one of these sequences or else take an additional course chosen from among Math 126 (Numerical Analysis), Math 128 (Numerical Linear Algebra), Math 151, Math 158 (Complex Variables), Math 161, Math 162, Math 167 (Differential Geometry), or Math 168 (Algebraic Topology). Majors are advised to complete Math 42/44 and Math 70/72 by the end of their sophomore year.

More programs from the university

Founded in 1852, Tufts University is recognized among the premier universities in the United States, known for its rigorous and innovative research and educational programs. Tufts enjoys a global reputation for academic excellence and for the preparation of students as leaders in a wide range of professions. The Carnegie Foundation has recognized Tufts as an “R1” research university with “very high research activity” based on the breadth of basic and clinical research conducted in its eight schools.  Tufts has extensive and highly regarded liberal arts, sciences and engineering programs that draw outstanding students from around the world with the highest academic achievement and standing. More than 98 percent of enrolling students expect to pursue graduate or professional study after completion of a bachelor’s degree. All of Tufts’ schools have a strong international component. Approximately 50 percent of all undergraduates attending Tufts pursue coursework outside the United States to add a strong international dimension to their field of study. Tufts believes that teaching and research are intimately related, and students are encouraged to take part in independent research and scholarship. Above all, Tufts emphasizes that learning and research should be in the service of society, and civic engagement, spearheaded by the Tisch College of Civic Life, is part of almost every aspect and endeavor at the University.
