Studying Abroad in Fall of Junior Year  |  Studying Abroad in Spring of Junior Year 

Sample Plan for Math Majors Studying Abroad in Fall of Junior Year

* The computational mathematics course can be any one of:

• Math 164 Scientific Computing (usually ordered in spring)
• Math 165 Numerical Analysis (usually fall)
• Math 167 Theory of Computation (usually fall)
• Math 168 Algorithms (both semesters)
  

+ You must take two semesters of Math Forum, including at least one semester of Math 198 (one credit). The other semester can be either Math 198 or Math 199 (colloquium option, zero credit).

For this Fall study abroad option, we recommend taking Math 55 (Discrete Mathematics) in the spring of your first year, so you can take Math 171 (Abstract Algebra) in the fall of your sophomore year. Math 180 (Applied Analysis) and one semester of Math Forum Math 198 or 199) are delayed till the fall of your senior year.

Different paths are possible, for instance, if you take Math 55 in the fall of sophomore year. Consult your advisor.

Important: Consult your advisor, well before you leave, about the mathematics courses you will take abroad. In some cases, the department will accept courses taken abroad in place of HMC courses required for the math major; these must be approved in advance by the department.

For this spring study abroad option, we recommend taking Math 55 (Discrete Mathematics) in the Spring of First year. Math 151 (Probability) is taken earlier than usual, in the Spring of sophomore year. Here, the only delay in the HMC math major is that one semester of Math Forum (Math 198 or 199) is postponed till the fall of senior year.
