The Mathematical Finance plan is offered jointly by the Departments of Statistics and Actuarial Science and of Pure Mathematics.
Students in this plan must fulfill all the requirements in Table I and Table II. This must include at least 26 math courses and the following specific requirements:
Legend
* MATH 237 requires permission of department.
** AMATH 350 is an antirequisite of AMATH 351 and 353, and choosing this course limits selection in the last "One of" lists below.
