This new edition of the best-selling STP Mathematics series provides all the support you need to deliver the 2014 KS3 Programme of Study. These new student books retain the authoritative and rigorous approach of the previous editions, whilst developing students' problem-solving skills, helping to prepare them for the highest achievement at KS4.These student books are accompanied by online Kerboodle resources which include additional assessment activities, online digital versions of the student books and comprehensive teacher support.
The mathematics major has a foundation requirement, a core requirement, a depth requirement and a total credit requirement. The foundation requirement consists of MTH 111, MTH 112, MTH 153, MTH 211, and MTH 212. Some of these requirements might be waived for a well-prepared student. The core requirement consists of one course in algebra (MTH 233 or MTH 238) and one course in analysis (MTH 280 or MTH 281). Alternatively, students declaring a math major before Fall '22 may focus on statistics; students pursuing this track through the major are not required to take a course in algebra but instead must complete MTH 220, MTH 246, MTH 320, and either MTH 291 or MTH 290. Students intending to declare a major after Fall '22 do not have this option and are advised to pursue a MST Major (Mathematical Statistics). Majors are required to take at least one advanced course. This is the depth requirement. An advanced course is a mathematics course at Smith numbered between 310 and 390.
Normally, a student who applies to do honors work must have an overall 3.0 GPA for courses through her junior year, and a 3.3 GPA for courses in her major. A student may apply either in the second semester of her junior year or by the second week of the first semester of her senior year; we strongly recommend the former.
Typically, you meet with your project adviser several times a week. Usually the project focuses on one area and involves reading mathematics papers and books at an advanced level. The honors paper you write will be an assimilation and exposition of the area. Occasionally, a project will include new contributions by the student. By early spring, most of your research should be complete and you will begin writing. The paper is due in the middle of April. It is read by a panel of faculty members, and in early May you present a talk to the department on your work.
The introductory calculus courses (MTH111: Calculus 1 and MTH112: Calculus 2) at Smith are offered in small sections of 20-28 students, taught by different professors. The sections of each introductory course are closely coordinated to maximize the resources available to students and make it easy for students to work together during the semester. Those resources include department peer tutors, quantitative skills tutors through the Spinelli Center for Quantitative Learning, and the department Calculus Training Group program, profiled in Grecourt Gate in November 2017.
The following courses work specifically with applications: MTH 205, 264, 353 and 364. Other courses that contain many applications and are important for anyone considering graduate school in applied mathematics are: MTH 220, 246, 254, 255, 280, 290, 291, and 320.
Sponsored by the Center for Women in Mathematics, the Postbaccalaureate Program is for women with bachelor's degrees who did not major in mathematics or whose mathematics major was light. This program is open to all women who have graduated college with some course work in mathematics above the level of calculus, and a serious interest in further pursuing mathematics. More information about the program is provided by the Center for Women in Mathematics.
There is a department talk most Thursdays at lunch (provided, bring your own drink). The department talk is a chance for faculty, students and friends to hear an interesting talk and discuss mathematics. Several of the talks occur during the evening, often preceded by a tea or followed by dinner.
Our Women in Mathematics in New England (WiMiN) annual conference celebrates women in mathematics. We feature talks by dozens of undergraduates, graduate students and invited guests working in various mathematical fields.
JMM is a national conference organized by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and the American Mathematical Society. Past students of the Center's research class (MTH 300) have attended to present talks on their work, as well as hear about the latest advancements in a variety of mathematical topics.
The HRUMC is a one-day mathematics conference held annually each spring semester at rotating institutions, and attended by students and faculty from various universities, colleges and community colleges in New York and New England. The conference features short talks by students and faculty and a longer invited address by a noted mathematician. Lunch and other light refreshments are served.
Mathematics faculty conduct research and write papers on algebra, combinatorics, dynamical systems, geometric knot theory, graph theory, logic, mathematical crystallography, mathematical biology, number theory, singularity theory, statistics and quantum logic. Within those fields, research spans the abstract to the applied. Faculty also write textbooks, mount exhibits and build sculptures. Students have ample opportunities to participate in research projects and to work as graders or teaching assistants.
The third floor of Burton Hall is the home of the Department of Mathematical Sciences. All faculty offices are located there, along with two computer laboratories/classrooms, a seminar room and the Forum. The Forum is a welcoming and comfortable space for conversation, study, relaxation, tea and cookies. It is a gathering place for students and teachers alike to meet tutors, to work in groups, read speculative fiction and ask questions both serious and idle.
