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
