The Department of Mathematics offers programs of study leading to the bachelor of science (BS) and bachelor of arts (BA) degrees, the master of science (MS) and master of arts (MA) degrees, and the doctor of philosophy (PhD) degree. (For details of the master's and doctoral degrees, see the Graduate Bulletin.) A degree in mathematics can be regarded as the central component of a liberal education, either for its own sake or as preparation for professional study in another field or mathematics graduate study. Students can look forward to employment in an industrial or financial firm, a governmental agency, or teaching in a secondary, college or university institution. Actuarial Science students benefit from the eagerness of actuarial employers to reach them. Each year a dozen representatives of insurance, consulting and government firms visit the department to describe the field and to interview students for both summer internships and jobs.
A student may obtain a baccalaureate degree with a major in mathematics, applied mathematics or actuarial science. Students who intend to pursue studies in higher mathematics should choose either the mathematics major or the applied mathematics major. The major in actuarial science is strongly oriented toward professional advancement in the insurance and financial sectors.
A directed program to fit special interests may be followed by a student with a specialized objective in mathematics, provided that the program is advocated by the student's faculty advisor and approved by the chair of the department before the student has enrolled in any 4000-level courses.
The department has a widely recognized research faculty, all of whom teach undergraduate students. Under the direction of a faculty member, selected students may choose to pursue an individual research project under Honors in the Major.
The department offers several opportunities for its majors to participate in learning activities outside the classroom. The Florida State University Mathematical Society provides a venue in which undergraduate students and faculty meet monthly to share interests and enjoy an accessible lecture by a faculty member or a distinguished visitor. The Florida State Student Actuarial Society hosts presentations by actuaries; the students share experiences about summer internships and prepare for actuarial examinations. The organization's Resumé Book assists matching students with jobs, and well-placed graduates of the program help current students. The department fields a team for the William Lowell Putnam Examination, a nationwide competition among mathematics students conducted annually by the Mathematical Association of America. A fall seminar is held for students to become familiar with Putnam-style problems and to hone their skills at solving them. Each year the local chapter of the national mathematics honorary society Pi Mu Epsilon inducts students of high academic achievement from each of the three majors. All of these activities offer opportunities to socialize while learning.
Departmental Programs
The Department of Mathematics offers bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees. At the undergraduate level there are degree programs in mathematics and actuarial science. (See also "Program in Actuarial Science," this General Bulletin.) Within the degree program in mathematics there are major options in mathematics, applied mathematics, and biomedical mathematics.
Academic Performance
A grade of "C-" or better is required in all courses to be counted toward these degrees. A student who has accumulated more than five grades below
"C-" (including grades of U) in mathematics or computer science courses taken for college credit at The Florida State University or elsewhere, whether repeated or not, will not be permitted to continue as a major in the department.

These courses satisfy the requirements for a minor in business and no additional minor is required.
Minor or Second Major
Information concerning acceptable minors for students majoring in a department program is available from the departmental office. The required computer science, physics, and statistics courses are collateral and may be counted toward a minor in the appropriate department.
Honors in the Major
The Department of Mathematics offers honors in the major designed to introduce the student to the process of independent and original research. For requirements and other information, see the "University Honors Program and Honor Societies" chapter of this General Bulletin.
Requirements for a Minor in Mathematics
A minor in mathematics consists of twelve (12) semester hours in courses with prefixes MAA, MAC, MAD, MAP, MAS, MAT, MGF, MHF, MTG, but not including any of the courses numbered 1XXX, or MAC 2233. A grade of "C-" or better must be earned in each course counted toward the minor.
Prerequisite Courses
Before taking any mathematics course, the student must complete with a grade of "C-" or better each course prerequisite to that course. Moreover, a student who earns a "C-" or better in a course with one or more stated or implied prerequisites may not subsequently earn credit in the prerequisite course(s). For example, a student who has earned a "C-" or better in MAC 2312 may not subsequently enroll in MAC 1105, 1114, 1140, or 2311.
Credit Note 1. In exception to the preceding paragraph, a transfer student may take MAC 1105 for credit even though the student has a "C-"or better in a transfer course that has been equated to a course for which MAC 1105 is prerequisite, provided the student has taken the AMP (Advanced Mathematics Placement) test and has not yet satisfied the Area I liberal studies requirement in mathematics.
Credit Note 2. In cases in which a student has earned a "D+", "D", or "D-" in a course and subsequently takes a similar course at the same level, the hours toward graduation for the first course will be disallowed as soon as the student passes the second course. These cases are: MAC 2233 after MAC 2311; MAC 2311 after MAC 2233.
