<p>The math dept has very good advising and is very supportive of its students. D2 found the staff quite helpful. They will be happy to answer any questions you have about math coursework.</p>
<p>In any major you’re going to have some semesters where you need to double or triple up major coursework. With her double natural science major, D2 tyically ended up with 3-5 science and math classes each semester.</p>
<p>For now, just think about what you need/want to take to during your first semester.</p>
<p>In applied math, you’ll need to start with the calculus sequence (MTH 161-165) because you really can’t take any upper level math coursework until you complete it. It’s kind of a bottleneck. </p>
<p>You may want to look at the Public Health/Epidemiology major</p>
<p>[Public</a> Health-related Majors : Multidisciplinary Studies Center : University of Rochester](<a href=“http://www.rochester.edu/college/msc/publichealth/majors/epidemiology.html]Public”>http://www.rochester.edu/college/msc/publichealth/majors/epidemiology.html)</p>
<p>and see if that’s something that might interest you.</p>
<p>For epidemiology, a statistic major might make more sense than an applied math major. Different skill set.</p>
