Note
A student who takes MAT 485 Differential Equations and Matrix Algebra for Engineers instead of MAT 331 First Course in Linear Algebra may not use the differential equations sequence to satisfy minor requirements.
A student who has completed the minor requirements stated above but does not have 15 credits of SU coursework toward the minor may use an additional SU course toward the minor. This additional course must be either an upper-level MAT course, or an SU course that has MAT 296 Calculus II (or a higher-numbered mathematics course) as a prerequisite.
