18.994 or one from the above list and one of the following subjects: 6.033, 8.06, or 18.310C. |
|
| General Mathematics Option Eight 12-unit subjects of different content, including at least six advanced subjects (first decimal digit one or higher). One of these eight subjects must be 18.06, 18.700, or 18.701. |
|

|
| Theoretical Mathematics Option 18.100 Analysis I, 12; Calculus II (GIR), 18.03* 18.701 Algebra I, 12; 18.700* 18.702 Algebra II, 12; 18.701 18.901 Introduction to Topology, 12; 18.100* One of the following subjects: 18.101 Analysis II, 12; 18.100, 18.06* 18.102 Introduction to Functional Analysis, 12; 18.100, 18.06* 18.103 Fourier Analysis—Theory and Applications, 12; 18.100, 18.06* An undergraduate seminar from the following list: 18.104, 18.504, 18.704, 18.784, 18.904, 18.994 (12 units) Two additional Course 18 subjects of essentially different content, with the first decimal digit one or higher (24 units) |
|
| Departmental Program Units That Also Satisfy the GIRs | (12) |
| Unrestricted Electives | 60 |
| Total Units Beyond the GIRs Required for SB Degree | 180 |
| No subject can be counted both as part of the 17-subject GIRs and as part of the 180 units required beyond the GIRs. Every subject in the student's departmental program will count toward one or the other, but not both. | |
| Notes | |
| *Alternate prerequisites and corequisites are listed in the subject description. | |
| (1) Students may substitute the more advanced subject 18.701 Algebra I. | |
| (2) A list of acceptable subjects is available in Room 2-108 and on the Mathematics Department website. | |
