This Philadelphia Quakers. It is the oldest institution of education, based on a rich academic curriculum at higher education with Quaker origins in North its core, is distinguished by a commitment to America. Initially the school was more of an excellence and a concern for individual growth. academy than a college and provided a "guarded Haverford has chosen to remain small and to foster education [as well as] an enlarged and liberal system close student/faculty relationships to achieve these of instruction." A seven-member faculty educated objectives. 21 Quaker boys in Greek, Latin, natural and moral philosophy, mathematics, English literature and The College's rigorous academic program is flexible scripture in that first year. in form and content to meet the needs of individual students, and rests on the assumption that the able After various vicissitudes, the School became a students who come here will use their capacities College in 1856, with the right to grant degrees. By fully. Haverford's faculty is noted for its strength in the turn of the 20th century under the leadership of both scholarship and teaching, and its members such presidents as Thomas Chase and Isaac expect to transmit to students their enthusiasm and Sharpless, the College had become a nationally- high standards. The faculty members are teaching known institution, competing for students and at an undergraduate college of arts and sciences by faculty with leading institutions in the nation. choice and they expect to learn, as well as to teach, in this close relationship with undergraduates. Haverford's evolution as a college encompassed both a wider-ranging academic program and a The full resources of the College, in and out of the diverse scholarly community. Today, with over 100 classroom, are designed to promote the personal faculty members and a coeducational student body, and intellectual growth of students. Through an Haverford has an average enrollment of 1,100 ambitious program of visiting lecturers and cultural students representing varied ethnic and religious activities, a conscious effort to recruit faculty and backgrounds and a wide geographic area. It offers a students representing diverse backgrounds and rigorous liberal arts curriculum ranging from the perspectives, student self-governance and service natural sciences to the fine arts. programs, an athletic program focused on participation and the scholar-athlete, and through For most of its first 150 years of existence, day-to-day living in a residential community, the Haverford was a men's undergraduate college College seeks to broaden and enrich each person's (There were exceptions, most notably the Relief development.

We seek to foster the pursuit of excellence a large number of women who were awarded and a sense of individual and collective master's degrees). Although Haverford began responsibility throughout the entire environment. admitting women as first-year undergraduate students only in 1980, Haverford's commitment to Haverford strives to be a college in which integrity, educating women began as early as 1917 and has honesty, and concern for others are dominant been greatly strengthened by cooperation with Bryn forces. The College does not have as many formal Mawr College, which was also founded by rules or as much formal supervision as most other Orthodox Friends. This relationship continues to colleges; rather it offers an opportunity for students enrich the academic, cultural and extracurricular to govern their affairs and conduct themselves with offerings of both institutions even now that respect and concern for others.

Members of the faculty are under no obligation to supervise independent study courses. Such courses done without faculty supervision will not be given college credit. Course requirements are determined jointly by the instructor and the student. Written evaluation of the work performed may be submitted to the registrar in place of a numerical grade.

Students may register for only one credit of independent study per term. These courses are normally of half-credit value unless specified for a full credit by the instructor. To undertake more than one credit of such work, students must secure permission, in advance, from the Committee on Student Standing and Programs.

Students may not undertake independent study work in subjects being taught in regular courses. Those wishing to explore more thoroughly a subject covered in an existing course are urged not to undertake an independent study course, but rather to consider the course intensification option.

For a number of the courses listed above, especially those with a substantial component of independent inquiry, students are encouraged to select environmental topics.

In the senior year, in addition to the Environmental Studies Senior Seminar, each student should show evidence of advanced work in environmental studies. This may consist of a research project, a major thesis, or in some departments it would be a 300- level course in which the student deals extensively with environmental issues. In selected cases, with approval of the major department advisor and the Environmental Studies director, this advanced work may be undertaken as an internship or Praxis course. Additional courses of interest to students of all disciplines include courses at University of Pennsylvania or Swarthmore College. Certain classes from Junior Year Abroad programs may fulfill requirements for the concentration if pre-approved.

Mathematics and economics are complementary REPRESENTATIVES AND disciplines. Most branches of modern economics use COORDINATORS mathematics and statistics extensively, and some Assistant Professor Indradeep Ghosh, Economics important areas of mathematical research have been Department Representative and Concentration motivated by economic problems. Economists and Coordinator mathematicians have made important contributions Professor Lynne Butler, Mathematics Department to each other's disciplines.

The Area of Concentration in Mathematical Economics can also benefit mathematics majors. Many students find mathematics more exciting and meaningful when they see it applied to a discipline they find interesting and concrete. Almost every undergraduate mathematics course covers topics useful in economic applications: optimization techniques in multivariable calculus, quadratic forms in linear algebra, fixed point theorems in topology. In intermediate and advanced courses in economics, mathematics majors can see how these tools and methods are applied in another discipline.

161 ADDITIONAL REMARKS FOR MATHEMATICAL ECONOMICS Students should consult with the concentration coordinator about the selection of the electives taken for the concentration (parts (B) and (C) of the requirements above).

Some examples of courses that may fulfill part (C) of the requirements for mathematics majors are the following: MATH 204 (Differential Equations), MATH 210 (Linear Optimization and Game Theory; cross-listed as ECON 210), MATH 218 (Probability), MATH 222 (Scientific Computing), and MATH 396 (Mathematical Statistics).

Some examples of courses that may fulfill part (C) of the requirements for economics majors are the following: ECON 210 (Linear Optimization and Game Theory; cross-listed as MATH 210), ECON 237 (Game Theory in Economics), ECON 249 (Political Economy and Game Theory), ECON 311 (Theory of Non-Cooperative Games), ECON 312 (General Equilibrium Theory) and ECON 365 (Computational Methods in Macroeconomics and Finance).

The Area of Concentration in Mathematical Economics differs from the minors in mathematics and economics is a specific way. The concentration focuses on the complementarities between the two disciplines; the minors in mathematics and economics are designed to provide a basic foundation in each discipline, but not necessarily with an inter-disciplinary orientation.

A student majoring in economics may choose to pursue either the Area of Concentration in Mathematical Economics or a minor in mathematics, but not both; and a student majoring in mathematics may choose to pursue either the Area of Concentration in Mathematical Economics or a minor in economics, but not both. A student double-majoring in economics and mathematics may not enroll in the Area of Concentration in Mathematical Economics.

Minors preparing for graduate promote rigorous thinking in a systematic, work in physical chemistry or theoretical physics deductive, intellectual discipline; (2) to present to should take Complex Analysis (Math 392) and the student the direction and scope of mathematical Analysis II (Math 318).
