The Carleton Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers a minor in Mathematics. Our math minor is designed to reflect the depth and diversity of modern mathematics, while also giving students substantial flexibility in designing their own course of study. Questions and petitions to add the minor should be directed to Rafe Jones, Department Chair and Mathematics minor coordinator.
