Course Renumbering

The Mathematics and Statistics Department is finishing the process of changing and re-numbering some of our courses. A table showing the renumbering can be found below. Courses numbered up to 30 (old numbering system) were renumbered starting academic year 2005-2006 while courses numbered 37 and up are renumbered starting academic year 2006-2007. The most up-to-date information on these courses for academic year 2006-2007 can be found on this site's version of the Swarthmore College Catalog Math and Stat pages.

Note: In the department’s new numbering scheme the ones digit indicates the subject matter, and the other digits indicate the level. In most cases, a ones digit of 1 means statistics, 2 to 6 means continuous mathematics, and 7 to 9 means noncontinuous mathematics (algebra, number theory, and discrete math). Courses below 10 do not count for the major, from 10 to 39 are first- and second-year courses, from 40 to 59 are intermediate, in the 60s are core upper-level courses; from 70 to 89 are courses that have one or more core courses as prerequisites, and in the 90s are independent reading courses.
