We still need blackboards
Mathematicians tend to find chalkboards to be better than whiteboards for teaching and research.
We need blackboards in our renovated classrooms.
From The New York Times:
Where Theory Meets Chalk, Dust Flies

Academic Minor in Mathematics
Math Minor Requirements (in general):
- MATH 243 or 253A
- 12 credit hours in mathematics courses numbered above 300, including:
- 3 credit hours in a writing-intensive mathematics course
- 6 credit hours in courses numbered above 400
More specific Math Minor requirements:
- If Math 243 is a requirement for your major but you did not take Math 253A, you must:
- complete Math 244
- complete 12 credits in mathematics courses numbered above 300 that include:
- 3 credit hours in writing-intensive mathematics courses
- 6 credit hours in courses 400 and above (excluding Math 480)
- If both Math 243 and Math 244 are requirements for your major, or if you took Math 253A for your major requirement, you must:
- complete 15 credits in mathematics courses numbered above 300 that include:
- 3 credit hours in writing-intensive mathematics courses
- 6 credit hours in courses 400 and above (excluding Math 480)
- complete 15 credits in mathematics courses numbered above 300 that include:
All required courses must be completed with a grade of “C” or better. Courses used to fulfill core or major requirements cannot be counted for the minor. Exceptions are:
- Engineering students may count their Engineering mathematics electives and technical elective (if taken in mathematics) and Math 302 and 307 towards a minor in mathematics.
- BA Physics, BS Physics, and BS Astrophysics students may count their Math 307 or 311 major requirement towards a minor in mathematics.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- The requirements include work at the senior level and allow the choice of specific courses which best complement work in the student’s major field.
- Students who are interested in minoring in mathematics are urged to consult a departmental advisor early in their academic career and schedule a Minor Declaration Appointment.
- Prior to graduation (at least one semester in advance), a Certification of Academic Minor form should be completed in consultation with a departmental advisor.
