Program Overview
The mission of the minor in Mathematics is to provide students with the core knowledge to analyze and solve multivariable problems and to acquire experience with logical reasoning and generalization. Courses in the minor teach students to create, analyze, and interpret mathematical models and examples, and to communicate sound arguments. The minor prepares students with fundamental mathematical knowledge and reasoning skills that can be applied to quantitative aspects of careers across many industries and research directions.
Minimum Units in the Program
Minimum University Units
Six Math courses taken for a letter grade.
The Math minor consists of six math courses at or above Math 51 taken for a letter grade
Minors must complete at least three 100-level courses within the six math courses
STATS116 (No longer offered), STATS118 or STATS200 (at most one, but not both and neither if STATS116 is being used), course, course count as 100-level math courses for the Math minor requirement. No other courses outside the Math Department can count in this way. There are no exceptions to this for any reason.
Math IntroSem courses and MATH56 count as 100-level Math courses for the Math minor requirement
course, course, course, course, and course cannot count toward the minor
Four courses of the minor must be taken at Stanford
Only Math 50/60CM/60DM series and first-year calculus can be double counted toward any other major or minor
