Print version Recommended Course Plans In mathematics, there are two main variants of the curriculum. In the regular variant, students will start out taking ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE MATHEMATICS and GENERAL MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE. Students following these courses will satisfy all degree requirements. Students with a strong mathematics background will want to take the advanced variant which starts out with Analysis and Linear Algebra and moves to more advanced courses from there. Intermediate or even more advanced variants are equally possible, subject only to the formal graduation requirements; students should generally try to take as demanding courses as possible.

By taking a moderate number of credits in excess of the required minimum, students can combine an excellent preparation for graduate study in Mathematics while still developing interests outside of the Mathematics major.

While it is possible to substitute language courses for first year Engineering and Science electives, we strongly advise to take language courses in addition rather instead of first year general Engineering and Science classes.   Last updated 2008-04-01, 22:53 by Iulian Ilies. © Jacobs University Bremen.
