Advising

If you are a math major and don't know who your academic adviser is, stop by the math office (Ross Hall 2239). Your adviser can help you select courses for the upcoming semester and check on your progress towards your degree. Here are some resources to help with planning.

  • Four Year Plans - to help you decide what to take when.
  • Catalog - where you can find the requirements for the major.
  • Registrar - including links to registration schedules and the final exam schedule.
  • Math Placement - find out more information on the Mathematics Placement Exam.

External Resources

  • Wolfram Alpha - computational search engine.
  • Desmos - a free online graphing calculator (there is also an iPad app).
  • GeoGebra - free dynamic mathematics software, especially useful for geometry.
  • MathWorld- online encyclopedia of mathematical topics.
  • Ask Dr. Math - searchable forum filled with frequently asked math questions and answers.
