What Courses Should I Take?

The first thing to keep in mind is that there are 3 distinct mathematical science departments at Rice, the Mathematics Department (MATH), the Computational and Applied Mathematics Department (CAAM), and the Statistics Department (STAT). The following advice pertains to the MATH Department, which teaches most of the lower-division courses. In case you are a double major with one of the majors being MATH (e.g. MATH-BIOLOGY) some courses in those other two departments can be counted towards a MATH major.

First year students can get advice on math courses from the link below, from orientation week advising sessions, from divisional advisors in your college, by making an appointment with a math advisor, from the math major section of this website, or from other students.
