91猎奇

For personal questions about your undergraduate career, ask an advisor.

If you have general questions for the department, you should email us at math-info@sjsu.edu (be sure to include your 91猎奇 ID number) or come to the Math Office (MH 308).

- "How should I choose my courses?"
- "Can you release my hold?"
- "What does 'abstract algebra' mean? Should I take it?"
- "I'm thinking about [this internship] or [this job after graduation]. Do you have advice?"

That's where advising comes in! All Math major advising will be carried out by the College of Science Student Success Center.

- "How does graduation work?"
- "How does adding/dropping/repeating classes work?"
- "Why can't I enroll in a particular Math Course?"
- "What are the requirements of a minor?"
- "Do I have to take a Math Workshop?"

Your advisors can help, but their main job / training is to give you advice instead of clarifying rules. You should first try to answer these questions yourself around this website (like this page, Calculus, or Courses). If you can't answer the question yourself, we still want to help you! Just come to the math department office (MH 308) or talk to your advisor.

- All Math major advising will be carried out by the College of Science Student Success Center.

- Visit this page if you want to change your major to math.

- For math graduate students: Dr. Jordan Schettler is the graduate MA Math advisor. Dr. Liam Stanton is the MS Applied Math Advisor.

- Students interested in the credential program should check the Math Teaching Credential Program Requirements for more information about the program.

- For statistics graduate students: please contact Dr. Martina Bremer.

- For MSDS graduate students: please contact Dr. Issa Tahir Bachar.

Every semester, an advising hold is placed on each student's record which prevents the student from signing up for courses. You must meet with your advisor to lift the hold, so you must meet your advisor once a semester. Even if you are a double major and your other advisor already lifted the hold, you should still meet with your math advisor every semester so that he or she can keep track of your progress.

Freshmen are required to attend Frosh Orientation where they meet with College of Science advisors and register for the first semester courses.

Transfer students are required to attend TIP (Transfer Information Program).

If you took AP classes, read the . To get credit for your AP tests, you should have the results sent to 91猎奇.

If you are planning to pursue a Ph.D. in mathematics, let your advisor know as soon as possible. Attend our Graduate School Workshop which is held in September. Applying to Ph.D. programs is much more complicated than applying to 91猎奇. You will need to take both the general and the math subject GREs (), write a statement of purpose, research which graduate programs are best suited to you and find 3-4 people who will write letters of recommendation for you.

- Area B1 and B3. Most math majors (see exceptions below) are required to take calculus based Physics which will satisfy these requirements.

- Area B4. Even though it is not listed on the list of G.E. courses, Calculus will satisfy the Critical Thinking G.E. requirement. There is no need for you to take another math course from that list. A grade of C- or higher is required in the course used to satisfy the GE math concepts requirement.

- Areas B, D for BS Applied and Computational Mathematics. The concentration in Applied Mathematics and Statistics required 2 lower division and 2 upper division support courses in an applied area. Sample sequences of support courses can be found in the document "Preapproved Support Courses" which is linked on our Forms and Documents page. For example, a student who decides to specialize in Genetics would have to take Bio 1A and Chem 1A. These two courses satisfy areas B1, B2 and B3. A student who follows the Economics sequence would have to take Econ 1B which satisfies area D1. We strongly recommend that these students discuss these options with their advisors as soon as possible.

If you have problems with grading or other types of grievances,

1. First, per http://www.sjsu.edu/senate/docs/S14-3.pdf [pdf], attempt to resolve matters with the faculty member in question.
2. If this is not possible, consider talking to the Department Chair or the University Ombudsperson.
3. Questions or issues involving discrimination (including physical, racial, and sexual harassment) should be reported to the 91猎奇 Office of Equal Opportunity[BROKEN LINK].
