The following courses are automatically approved to be applied toward the 15 elective units of math-related courses allowed for the major.
- This list is not exclusive. The courses below are what we commonly see majors take. If other courses are high enough in math content, they are likely to be approved.
- Primarily only undergraduate courses are included here, but many graduate courses may also be used.
- Please contact Professor Bump (bump@math.stanford.edu) well in advance of graduation (ideally by fall quarter of your senior year) if you have questions about the usability of courses not on this list. Be sure to include the course description from ExploreCourses.
ATTENTION: None of these courses may be double-counted towards both the Math major and any other major or minor. The only courses that may be double-counted are the Math 50/50H series and first-year calculus.
