Beyond the Bulletin

CAS Mathematics Requirement (Quantitative Reasoning)

To satisfy the College Core Curriculum requirement in Quantitative Reasoning (QR), all College of Arts and Science students must either take one semester of an approved course with mathematical content, or present qualifying advanced standing credit or SAT Subject Examination scores to exempt from the requirement. (There is no CAS examination to exempt students from QR.)

Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB; HL only), and Advanced Level (A Level; not AS) credit in calculus, statistics, and mathematics satisfies the QR requirement, as does similar credit in selected international examinations. Consult the admission section of this Bulletin or a CAS adviser for details on which approved examinations and minimum scores confer credit. In addition, a score of 700 or higher on the SAT Subject Examination in Mathematics (either level 1 or 2) satisfies the Core QR requirement (no credit is awarded).

Students in the following majors or tracks of study are required to take courses which also satisfy the Core QR requirement: computer science, data science, economics, engineering, global public health, international relations, mathematics, the natural sciences, the prehealth track, psychology, and sociology. (These areas of study differ in whether and how they accept advanced standing credit toward their quantitative requirements; consult the appropriate sections of this Bulletin.)

CAS students who are not pursuing one of these courses of study, and who cannot present advanced standing credit or SAT Subject Examination scores for exemption from the QR requirement, must take one of the Quantitative Reasoning (CORE-UA 1XX) courses offered in the College Core Curriculum.

Alternatively, students who meet the prerequisites or take a placement exam may register for an appropriate calculus course at the level of Calculus I (MATH-UA 121) or above. Other CAS courses that satisfy the QR requirement (in statistics, e.g.) are posted on the Core Curriculum website, core.cas.nyu.edu.

Placement into Calculus and other Foundational Courses

Students meeting any of the following criteria may enter Calculus I (MATH-UA 121) or Mathematics for Economics I (MATH-UA 211). The latter course is intended for majors in economics. In addition, students meeting any of the following criteria may register for Discrete Mathematics (MATH-UA 120), Linear Algebra (MATH-UA 140), or Honors Linear Algebra (MATH-UA 148), although in the case of MATH-UA 148 the required grade in Algebra and Calculus (MATH-UA 9) is an A-minus and not a C.

  • SAT general test mathematics score of 670 or higher (for SAT taken in and after March 2016)
  • SAT Subject Examination in Mathematics (level 1 or level 2) score of 650 or higher
  • ACT mathematics score of 30 or higher
  • Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus AB exam score of 3 or higher (must be 4 or 5 to earn credit)
  • AB subscore on the AP Calculus BC exam of 3 or higher (must be 4 or 5 to earn credit)
  • AP Calculus BC exam score of 3 or higher (must be 4 or 5 to earn credit)
  • A Level Mathematics score of C or higher (must be B or higher to earn credit; anyone who took Further Mathematics should consult the mathematics department for placement)
  • AS Level Mathematics score of B or higher (no credit is awarded for AS exams)
  • International Baccalaureate (IB) HL Mathematics score of 5 or higher (must be 6 or higher to earn credit)
  • IB SL Mathematics score of 6 or higher (no credit is awarded for SL exams)

  • Algebra and Calculus (MATH-UA 9) with a grade of C or higher (A-minus or higher for entry into MATH-UA 148), or equivalent
  • Passing score on the departmental calculus placement exam

Students who do not meet any of these prerequisites must take Algebra and Calculus (MATH-UA 9) and meet the minimum grade requirement before proceeding to any of the courses listed above.

Advanced Placement with Credit

Freshmen seeking advanced placement in the mathematics major or minor may present results of the Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus AB or BC Examination.

  • A student who earns a 4 or 5 on the Calculus AB exam (or AB subscore) or a 4 on the Calculus BC exam will receive 4 points equivalent to Calculus I (MATH-UA 121) and will be placed into Calculus II (MATH-UA 122).
  • A student who earns a score of 5 on the Calculus BC exam will receive 8 points, equivalent to both Calculus I (MATH-UA 121) and Calculus II (MATH-UA 122), and will be placed into Calculus III (MATH-UA 123) or Honors Calculus III (MATH-UA 129).

For calculus equivalencies and placement for advanced standing credit in mathematics from International Baccalaureate (HL only), A Level, and other approved international examinations, please consult the admission section of this Bulletin or a CAS adviser.

Advanced Placement without Credit

The department periodically gives its own advanced placement exams for students who know the material covered in Calculus I (MATH-UA 121) and/or Calculus II (MATH-UA 122) and who wish to enter Calculus II (MATH-UA 122) or Calculus III (MATH-UA 123). There is also an examination to pass out of Calculus III (MATH-UA 123). If a student passes any of these exams, he or she is placed into the next course of the sequence; however, no college credit is given for the courses that are skipped.

Policies Applying to the Major in Mathematics

  • Mathematics for Economics I, II, III (MATH-UA 211, 212, 213) do not count toward the major in mathematics as substitutions for the Calculus I, II, III sequence (MATH-UA 121, 122, 123). Exceptions may be made for students who have already taken Mathematics for Economics for their declared or intended economics major; they must seek the approval of the Department of Mathematics for this substitution. All other students must follow the regular calculus sequence. Students may not register simultaneously for separate courses within the two sequences.
  • Up to two computer science courses at the level of Introduction to Computer Science (CSCI-UA 101) or higher, or up to two graduate data science (DS-GA) courses, may be counted toward the thirteen courses required for the major. The prerequisites for DS-GA courses are Calculus III (MATH-UA 123), Linear Algebra (MATH-UA 140), and programming experience in Python (preferred) or MATLAB. Probability is a recommended prerequisite.
  • Students who complete the prehealth program may substitute at most two MATH-UA courses by any two of the following: General Physics I, II (PHYS-UA 11, 12) or Physics I, II (PHYS-UA 91, 93).
    • However, if these physics courses are used towards the mathematics major, the computer science or data science courses will not apply towards the major.
  • Students may double-count no more than two courses toward both the mathematics major and the requirements of another major or minor.
  • Courses taken under the Pass/Fail option cannot count toward the major. A grade of C or higher is required in all courses used to fulfill major requirements. In addition, majors must maintain a 2.0 mathematics GPA.
  • Students may petition to enroll in graduate mathematics courses and apply them to the undergraduate major. Permission is not granted until the student has completed Analysis (MATH-UA 325) and the available undergraduate course(s) on the same topic. Please see the undergraduate section of the department's website for more information and to request permission to enroll in a graduate course.
  • All mathematics majors and minors are required to see an undergraduate faculty adviser to review their course of study and be advised on appropriate courses for each term. Inquire at the department office, Warren Weaver Hall, 251 Mercer Street, Room 625 or 627, or call 212-998-3005 for more information.

Joint Major in Economics and Mathematics

An interdisciplinary major (eighteen courses/72 points) offered jointly by the Departments of Economics and Mathematics. In the economics department, joint majors with mathematics must follow the theory concentration. Nine courses must be taken in each department. Students may double-count no more than two courses towards both this joint major and the requirements of another major or minor. Courses taken under the Pass/Fail option cannot be counted toward the major. A grade of C or higher is necessary in all courses used to fulfill joint major requirements. Interested students should consult with the director of undergraduate studies in both departments for additional information.

The nine mathematics courses (36 points) must all be numbered MATH-UA 120 or higher, and must include these five courses. Note that students must choose one calculus sequence or the other and cannot take courses from both; the Mathematics for Economics sequence is the preferred sequence for this joint major. Students also cannot register simultaneously for separate courses within the two sequences.

The main goal is for each student to complete a research project under the joint guidance of graduate students, postdocs, and faculty in the mathematics department at NYU. Some projects will involve theoretical modeling and computer simulation, and others may involve Courant's Applied Math Lab, where students will help conduct experiments to validate models and simulations. The program will include a set of coherent activities such as frequent group academic meetings and social gatherings.
