Is IMPS a good option for a potential math major?
If you are thinking about majoring in math, IMPS may well be for you. IMPS was designed for applied math majors as well as physical science majors. If you are sure you want to major in pure rather than applied math, you might rather choose honors calculus courses during your first year. But whether you take IMPS or honors calculus in your first year will be much less significant than your choice of courses in later years. If you take IMPS and later decide on pure mathematics, IMPS will have helped you satisfy the science distributive requirements as well as the math prerequisites. The math department will have an open house during Orientation Week where you can meet faculty and discuss the major.
