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.
Notes about this minor:
- This minor is closed to students majoring in applied mathematics or computational mathematics.
- Posting of the minor on the student's academic transcript requires a minimum GPA of 2.0 in the minor.
- Notations may appear in the curriculum chart below outlining pre-requisites, co-requisites, and other curriculum requirements (see footnotes).

Quarter Curriculum - For Reference Only
Effective fall 2013, RIT converted its academic calendar from quarters to semesters. The following content has been made available as reference only. Currently matriculated students who began their academic programs in quarters should consult their academic adviser for guidance and course selection.
The mathematics minor provides an opportunity for students to deepen their technical background and gain further appreciation for modern mathematical sciences.
Prerequisites:
1016-281 Project-Based Calculus I
1016-282 Project-Based Calculus II
1016-283 Project-Based Calculus III
(or equivalent)
Plus at least one of the following:
1016-305 Multivariable Calculus
1016-265 Discrete Mathematics I
