Mathematics - Princeton University

Mathematics from Princeton University is a Campus Bachelor Mathematics degree that prepares you for a Education career. The usual underclass sequences for mathematics courses are 103-104-201-202, which emphasizes applications, or 103-104-203-204, which provides a mixture of theory and application. For students who are not prepared to begin with 103 there is a two-semester sequence, 101-102, providing an introduction to calculus, which may be followed by 104 and higher courses. For economics majors who wish to take only one semester of sophomore-level mathematics, there is a sequence 103-104-200; however those students who may wish continue with 300-level mathematics courses should not take this option. For students with a very high aptitude in mathematics there are honors courses: 214, 215, 217, 218. Prospective mathematics majors are required to take at least one course introducing them to formal mathematical arguments and rigorous proofs; 214 provides this introduction through algebra, while 215 provides this introduction through analysis, and students normally take only one of these two courses. Those students who have taken 214 follow this by 203, for multivariable calculus, and 217 or 204, for linear algebra. Those students who have taken 215 follow this by 204 or 217, for linear algebra, and 218 or 203, for multivariable calculus. The courses in 204 and 203 can be taken in either order. Students with little or no background in calculus are initially placed in 103, or in 101 if their SAT (mathematics aptitude) test scores indicate that they have insufficient preparation for 103. To qualify for placement in 104 a student should score either a 4 or better on the AB Advanced Placement Examination or should have completed a year of high school calculus and scored 700 or better on the SAT (mathematics aptitude) test. To qualify for placement into 200 or 201 a student should have a 4 or better on the BC Advanced Placement Examination. To place into 203 a 4 on the BC Advanced Placement Examination and a 750 on the SAT (mathematics aptitude) test are required. Students who have a very strong mathematics aptitude and achieve a 5 on the AB or BC Advanced Placement Examination and 760 or better on the SAT (mathematics aptitude) test, qualify for placement into Mathematics 215 or 214.
