SoM Now Offers BS in Mathematics with Four Optional Concentrations

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Prior to summer 2017, the SoM offered degrees BS Applied Math and BS Discrete Math. Starting in Summer 2017, the School of Mathematics offers a BS in Mathematics with four optional concentrations:

  • BS in Mathematics
  • BS in Mathematics with a Concentration in Applied Mathematics
  • BS in Mathematics with a Concentration in Discrete Mathematics
  • BS in Mathematics with a Concentration in Probability and Statistics
  • BS in Mathematics with a Concentration in Pure Mathematics  

No students have been admitted to the BS in Discrete Mathematics DMTH since Spring 2017. Students admitted to the BS in Discrete Mathematics DMTH program Spring 2017 or earlier had the option of completing the BS in Discrete Mathematics DMTH program earning a BS in Discrete Mathematics.

The teach-out plan is that current Discrete Mathematics students will be allowed to complete the requirements for the BS in Discrete Mathematics Catalog 2016-2017, the last catalog year in which students were admitted to BS in Discrete Mathematics. Such students would be awarded BS in Discrete Mathematics DMTH. 

There are currently 3 students in the DMTH program. One student is majoring in CS and DMTH but will drop the DMTH major this spring. The other two students: Sunny (Savannah) Thomson and Judith Brennan are on track to graduate with the BS DMTH degree in Spring 2020. These students will be the last to receive the BS DMTH degree from GT.
