University of California, Riverside
MathematicsSubject abbreviation: MATH Bun Wong, Ph.D., Chair Department Office, 202 Surge Building (909) 787-3113; math.ucr.edu Professors
The Department of Mathematics offers a B.A. and a B.S. degree in programs that share a common, solid mathematical foundation but differ in their specializations in the pure and applied areas of mathematics. These programs can provide the basis for careers in mathematics itself or within the many scientific and business fields, which, in today's technological society, depend on a basic knowledge of mathematical methods. The B.A. in Mathematics, following the liberal arts tradition, combines a broad coverage of the humanities and social sciences with a moderate amount of advanced mathematics in the major. It is selected most often either by students who intend to obtain a teaching credential with a specialty in mathematics or by students who wish to pursue graduate work in business or the social sciences. The B.S. in Mathematics is more technical and contains a greater concentration of work in the major field. The Pure Mathematics program is directed toward students who may wish to pursue graduate work in mathematics. The Applied Mathematics programs, with options in Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Environmental Sciences, Physics, and Statistics, are designed to provide a rigorous training in mathematics together with a substantial background in the discipline of the option. The Computational Mathematics program is designed to prepare the student for professional work with computers and computer systems and for graduate work in computer science. Academic Advising Each Mathematics major is assigned a departmental advisor who assists the student in formulating educational goals and monitors the student's subsequent progress in an academic program. Each quarter a study list must be approved by this advisor. Teaching Credential Teachers in the public schools in California must have a credential approved by the State Commission on Teacher Credentialing. The credential requires an undergraduate major, baccalaureate degree, and completion of a graduate credential program such as that offered by the Graduate School of Education at UCR. The latter usually requires three quarters and includes education courses and supervised teaching. Before admission and student teaching in a graduate credential program, the candidate must pass the California Basic Education Skills Test (CBEST) and demonstrate subject-matter proficiency in the fields which the candidate will teach. The candidate can demonstrate proficiency either by passing the commission's subject-matter assessment examination, or preferably, completing an undergraduate program that is state approved for teacher preparation. UCR has an approved undergraduate program (Subject Matter Preparation Program) for mathematics majors who plan to teach secondary level grades (7–12). A breadth of course work is necessary, in addition to the specified requirements for the major. Students are urged to start early, preferably as freshmen, selecting courses most helpful for this career. Further information about courses, requirements, and examinations can be obtained at the Student Affairs Office (202 Surge Building) and the Graduate School of Education (1124 Sproul Hall).

In addition to year-long programs, a wide range of shorter options is available. While on EAP, students are still eligible for financial assistance. Students are advised to plan study abroad well in advance to ensure that the courses taken fit with their overall program at UCR. Consult the departmental student affairs officer for assistance. For further details visit UCR's International Services Center at internationalcenter.ucr.edu or call (909) 787-4113. See Education Abroad Program under International Services Center in the Student Services section of this catalog. A list of participating countries is found under Education Abroad Program in the Curricula and Courses section.
