Full Answer

Why study math at RIT?

The School of Mathematical Sciences provides a solid collegiate math education to every RIT undergraduate and offers high-level specializations such as statistical forecasting, digital encryption, and mathematical modeling.

Why general education at RIT?

In accordance with RIT’s mission, the General Education curriculum is the foundation for preparing students for lifelong learning, for success in their chosen fields and for their role in society as well-educated and knowledgeable citizens.

Why the School of Mathematical Sciences?

The School of Mathematical Sciences equips its graduates with a deep understanding of math principles, a toolbox for applying those skills to real-world problems, and the ability to easily express complex ideas. Our graduate programs introduce students to rigorous advanced applied mathematical and statistical methodology.

What happens if I am not registered for a math course?

You will be not be registered for a math course, or you will be dropped from such a course unless you have successfully completed the prerequisite course at RIT. How do I receive extended time on the exam?

What is a math minor?

The mathematics minor is designed for students who want to learn new skills and develop new ways of framing and solving problems. It offers students the opportunity to explore connections among mathematical ideas and to further develop mathematical ways of thinking.

What is the study of functions?

The study of functions includes the exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Limits of functions are used to study continuity and differentiability. The study of the derivative includes the definition, basic rules, and implicit differentiation.

1. MATH 181: Project-Based Calculus I

This course is the first of a two-part course recommended for students majoring in mathematics, science, or engineering. Instructed by Maurino Bautista, the course emphasizes the understanding of mathematical concepts and their application in solving physical problems.

2. MATH 190-Discrete Mathematics for Computing

Students will be introduced to the concepts and techniques from discrete mathematics that are applied in Computer Science. The course is recommended for students that wish to pursue a major in Computer Science and other related programs.

3. MATH 241 - Linear Algebra

This course introduces students to the basic concepts of linear algebra, and techniques of matrix manipulation. Some of the topics discussed in the course include linear transformations, matrix arithmetic, Gaussian elimination, vector spaces, determinants, and linear independence among others.

4. MATH 219 - Multivariable Calculus

This course studies calculus of multivariate functions, and vectors, vector-valued functions, and their derivatives. Taught by Ephraim Agyingi, this course covers topics such as limits, partial derivatives, multiple integrals, and includes applications in physics.

5. MATH 326 - Boundary Value Problems

Instructed by Manuela Campanelli, this course acts as an introduction to the concepts of boundary value problems. Some of the topics discussed in the course include Fourier series, Laplace's equation, separation of variables, the heat equation, and the wave equation in Cartesian and polar coordinate systems.

6. MATH 381 - Complex Variables

Students in this course cover the concepts and applications of complex variables. The course is instructed by Michael Cromer and covers topics like the algebra of complex numbers, analytic functions, Cauchy-Riemann equations, complex integration, Cauchy's integral theorem and integral formulas among other topics.

7. MATH 421 - Mathematical Modeling

Mathematical Modeling, instructed by Bernard Brooks, discusses the concepts of problem-solving, formulation of the mathematical model from physical considerations, solution of the mathematical problem, testing the model, and interpretation of results.

Overview

The pre-baccalaureate studies program is available to students who are accepted by NTID and are close to, but not fully ready for, direct entry into a baccalaureate-level program through one of the other colleges of RIT.

Admission Requirements

Students entering pre-baccalaureate studies in science or mathematics will typically be required to have:

Who oversees courses approved for use as electives and perspectives?

Courses approved for use as electives and perspectives are overseen by the General Education Committee , and designations for each type are marked in the Student Information System. The choices for Immersions are listed in the Course Bulletin.

How many courses can be used in general education?

Use of program courses in General Education: Programs may count no more than three courses (not including labs) from their home academic unit as General Education. These courses must be approved to carry general education designation by the General Education Committee.
