Course Numbering and Scheduling
 

    The numbering scheme of upper level courses in the Department of Mathematics (which differs somewhat from that of other departments) is given below.
 
 

Numbers
<200
 Undergraduate courses.
200-206
 Primarily undergraduate courses. These courses are  recommended for students planning graduate study in mathematics.
211-239
 Graduate courses for students in mathematics and related disciplines. These courses are also appropriate 
for advanced undergraduates, especially those interested in the applications of mathematics.
>239
 Primarily graduate courses for students in mathematics. However, sufficiently prepared undergraduates are encouraged to enroll. Standard first-year graduate courses in pure mathematics include 241, 245, and 251.
    The department intends to offer all of the courses listed in this handbook at least once every two years, assuming sufficient enrollment. The courses that are offered every year are usually offered according to the schedule below. A dagger (†) indicates a course offered through the Institute of Statistics and Decision Sciences.
