                                    April 9, 1987





           Attached are requested changes in the catalog listing for

           the Department of Mathematics.







                       ___________ _______ ___________________

                       RECOMMENDED CATALOG CORRECTIONS/CHANGES

                              __________ __ ___________

                              DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS



           1.  p. 143 Under "Program A...I. Required courses in the

           major."  This should read (change is underlined):



               I.  Required courses in the major - 36 hours, including

               Mathematics 191, 192, 280, 291 (15 hours), 3 hours in

                                    __ __________

               Mathematics 380, and an additional 18 hours in

               courses numbered...



               p. 143 under "Program B... I. Required courses in the

               major."  Identical wording as above for first 2 lines

               under "I. Required courses..."



               Rationale:  Greater clarity in what department wants

           in the major.





           2.  p. 144 under "Program D... I. Required courses in major":



                                                        __ ___

               In place of (Math) 266 alone, write "266 or 365."



               Rationale:  Allows the major to use a more sophisticated

           linear algebra course to satisfy this requirement.





           3. p. 145, numbering of Math 131, 132:



               Change 131 to 157

               Change 132 to 158



               Rationale:  To make it possible for students in education

           to receive credit for present MATH 131 or 132 after having

           taken MATH 155 (all college requirement, Nature of Mathematics).

                                                    ___

           Note:  Elementary Education students are not exempt from

           this course; math majors are.

           4.  p. 146, prerequisite listing for Math 163:



               Change from 162 to 105



               Rationale:  Math 162 no longer exists; Math 105 replaces

           that.





           5.  p. 148, number and prerequisite for Math 462, Theory of

           Numbers:



               Change 462 to 368 and change prerequisite "361" to "280"



               Rationale:  This course is never taught as a strictly

           senior course only for very advanced students.  It should

           be a more "recreational" type of course, so this change

           will make the level of the course fall more in line with

           the way the department now intends to teach it.





           6.  p. 191, course description for STAT 228:



               Change "interactive APL programs" to "statistical packages."



               Change prerequisite to read:  STAT 125, 185 or 225



               Rationale:  More accurate course description and to take

           into account the new higher level statistics course 185 we

           have added.





           7.  p. 191, prerequisite listing for STAT 325, 327:



               Change to read (as in #6):  STAT 125, 185 or 225.





           8.  p. 192, prerequisite for STAT 425:



               Change to read:  Prerequisite:  MATH 291.



               Rationale:  Having 225 as a prerequisite serves no useful

           purpose at the present time.  Math 291 (Calculus III) is more

           appropriate.
