Math/SDS Majors and Minors → Curriculum Changes → SDS Minor Requirement updates for 2024 catalog
The undergraduate curriculum committee for the Department of Mathematics decided to remove the MATH 223 prerequisite for DATA/MATH 363 effective starting in Fall 2024. The vector calculus content that is needed in DATA/MATH 363 is not extensive, and 363 will be adjusted in order to teach that content within the course.

In light of the prerequisite changes to DATA/MATH 363 and the proposed introduction of two new courses, DATA 201 - Foundations of Data Science and DATA 474 - Intro to Statistical Machine Learning, the following modifications to the SDS minor requirements have been made and are effective Fall 2024:
Note: MATH 464 still requires completion of MATH 223; students wishing to take MATH 464 as their SDS minor elective course will need to fit MATH 223 into their course plan.
