What will I learn?

The Second Major in Mathematics is designed primarily for students whose first major is Chemistry, Computer Science, Physics, or in the Engineering College. However, students with other mathematically intensive majors may be permitted to complete a second major, provided that suitable courses for Section D can be identified.
