A Mathematics minor consists of the lower division Calculus and Linear Algebra courses (which are also required for the Computer Science major):
I. Lower Division Mathematics (16 units)
Computer Science majors may complete a Mathematics minor with few (or no) additional courses by using the two math courses from the above list as the eight hours of non-C.S. courses allowed in the Electives area (see Section 6.5). They may also use a cross-listed course such as Math/CS 3750, 4750, 4245, or 4170 as the mathematics minor elective.
The above satisfies the University requirements for a minor: at least 12 units upper division, at least 18 units outside the major, and at least 12 units taken at Cal State East Bay.
All mathematics majors should consider taking Computer Science courses since the two disciplines are closely related and knowing both is an advantage in knowledge and job possibilities. The minor in Computer Science is fairly easy to get for mathematics majors; a double major is also possible. A schedule for a double major is shown later in this brochure (Section 6.4).
A student can complete a major in mathematics with a minor in Computer Science by completing the courses listed above for mathematics:
I. Lower Division Mathematics (12 units)
II. Lower Division Computer Science (4 units)
and in addition, takingII. Lower Division Computer Science (8 units)
III. Upper Division Computer Science (12 units)
Two courses from the following list:
One upper division Computer Science elective. This may be a third course from the list above or any course in category IV of the requirements for the major in Com puter Science.
The above satisfies the University requirements for a minor: at least 12 units upper division, at least 18 units outside the major, and at least 12 units taken at Cal State East Bay.
