Program Description
The Advanced Mathematical Methods minor provides students with mathematical tools to handle complex business problems. Most advanced mathematics courses offered in mathematics departments require as prerequisites a complete coverage of calculus up to and including calculus of several variables as well as linear algebra. In today’s business world, the most quantitatively demanding projects require not only this level of mathematics, but also a thorough grounding in probability and statistics.
This joint minor between CAS and Stern serves these needs by requiring courses in mathematics and numerical methods offered within the Mathematics Department at CAS and courses in probability theory and statistical analysis offered within the Statistics & Actuarial Science Department at the Stern School of Business.
Minor Declaration
Students can apply for the minor via NYU Albert in the My Academics section of the Student Center.

Additional Policies
Linear Algebra
Students who have the equivalent of MATH-UA 140 Linear Algebra or MATH-UA 148 Honors Linear Algebra should substitute a more advanced course from the list of advanced courses above.
Stern Course Requirement
All students must take at least one Stern course in order to meet the minor requirements. Students who have completed MATH-UA 333 Theory of Probability (previously MATH-UA 233) or equivalent should not take STAT-UB 14 Intro Theory of Probability, and should substitute one of the advanced courses in its place.
