Mathematics

The Auburn Montgomery Department of Mathematics offer a degree in mathematics with four options to choose from; traditional mathematics, mathematics with an emphasis in computer science, mathematics Education, and mathematical economics.  In addition there is a two-year pre-engineering program. The Mathematics programs at Auburn Montgomery will prepare you for a career out of college or for entering graduate school.

Students wishing to major in mathematics may choose one of four options:

• Traditional Mathematics Major (MH) - The traditional mathematics option is ideally suited to students who intend to complete graduate studies in mathematics or related fields. Many AUM graduates who majored in mathematics have successfully completed graduate degrees in mathematics, statistics, and related fields at schools across the state and nation. This option is also well suited for students who simultaneously complete professional requirements for entrance into medical school or for careers in actuarial science. Students pursuing the traditional mathematics major must complete the following requirements:
  
  COMM 1010
  CSCI 2000
  ENGL 3060
  MATH 1610
  MATH 1620
  MATH 2630
  MATH 2660
  MATH 2690
  MATH 2670 or MATH 4670
  MATH 4200 or MATH 4300
  MATH 4210
  MATH 4310
  MATH 4220 or MATH 4320
  MATH 4230
  MATH 4950
  3 hours of mathematics electives at the 3000 level or above (PHIL 3700 may be used)
  8 hours of approved science electives chosen from BIOL, CHEM or PHYS
  9 hours (a minor) of approved electives in one subject outside mathematics at the 2000-level or above
  
  
• Mathematics Education Option (MHSE) - The mathematics education option is a joint program provided by the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Foundations, Secondary and Physical Education. This option is available for students wanting to teach mathematics in the secondary schools. This program leads to a “highly qualified” teaching certificate in Alabama for grades 6 to 12. Students in this option will be assigned academic advisors in both departments. Students are expected to satisfy School of Education requirements concerning admission to professional education and professional internship along with graduation requirements expected of students in both departments. In addition to the core requirements and School of Education requirements, students pursing the option in mathematics education must complete the following requirements:
  
  MATH 1150
  MATH 1610
  MATH 1620
  MATH 2630
  MATH 2660
  MATH 2670
  MATH 4110
  MATH 4200
  MATH 4210
  MATH 4310
  MATH 4470
  MATH 4950
  CSCI 2000
  Approved 3000/4000 MATH or CSCI elective
  
  
• Mathematical Sciences with an Emphasis in Computer Science (MHC)- The program in mathematical sciences with emphasis on computer science is an ideal choice for students who intend to seek employment in today’s competitive job market. Many AUM graduates who majored in the mathematical sciences have had high rates of success in securing employment with leading firms across the state and nation. These graduates enter the job market immediately following graduation and pursue successful careers in engineering, operations research, computer science, and countless other fields related to the physical, computer, and social sciences. Students pursuing the option in mathematical sciences with an emphasis in computer sciences must complete the following requirements in addition to the core courses:
  
  MATH 4200
  MATH 4400
  MATH 4600
  MATH 4670
  CSCI 1200
  CSCI 2000
  CSCI 3000
  8 hours of two courses selected from BIOL 1010, BIOL 1020, CHEM 1100, or CHEM 1200
  9 hours of approved electives in CSCI
  
  
• Mathematical Economics (MHE) - The mathematical economics option is designed for students who are either interested in doing analytical and quantitative work in business or government or in graduate work in applied mathematics, especially in mathematical economics and finance. Students pursuing the mathematical economics option must complete the following requirements in addition to the core courses:
  
  MATH 4200
  MATH 4210
  MATH 4310
  MATH 4600
  MATH 4950
  CSCI 2000
  CSCI 3000
  ECON 4100, 4110
