High school students are encouraged to take four (4) years of English, four (4) years of mathematics including trigonometry, a year of biological science, and a year of physical science. Courses in calculus, physics, and computer programming are recommended. Experience in clear, concise, careful writing is valuable for success in all courses.
A maximum of seventeen (17) lower-division units, including courses in mathematics and computer science, may be applied toward the minor requirements. Of the seventeen (17) units, four (4) units must appropriately match the description in the catalog for CS 111, and nine (9) units must appropriately match the descriptions for MATH 160 and MATH 162. It is also possible to apply another four (4) units which must appropriately match the description for MATH 260.
Students may not use a mathematics course for the required three (3) units of General Education upper-division General Education area B (Mathematical or Natural Sciences).
Each course submitted toward the mathematical science minor must be completed with a grade of C (2.0) or better. No more than a total of three (3) units of either Individual Study (MATH 498) or Independent Research (MATH 499) may be applied. No more than three (3) units of Internship (MATH 495) may be applied. A minimum of six (6) upper-division units in mathematics must be completed at CSU San Marcos.
Lower-division (9 units) Units MATH 160 Calculus with Applications, I 5 MATH 162 Calculus with Applications, II 4 Upper-division (15 units) Units MATH 350 or MATH 370 3 MATH 374^ 3 Nine elective units chosen from the following courses+: 9 MATH 330 MATH 372 MATH 360 MATH 362 Any Mathematics courses numbered 410 through 599.
Total Units: 24-25 Notes: ^ MATH 260 (4 units) may be substitued for MATH 374 if MATH 260 is not used as upper division elective. + MATH 260 may be substituted for an upper-division elective if MATH 260 is not substituted for MATH 374.
