-=== Program Sub-Plans ===+=== Note for Math Double Majors on PHYS3041 === 
 + 
 +The DUGS will approve the replacement of PHYS3041 with the combination of the following courses from the math program:   
 +  * Math 4567 (applied Fourier analysis) or 5587 (elementary partial differential equations) 
 +  * Math 4242 (applied linear algebra) 
 +  * Math 5583 (complex analysis) 
 +These courses should be completed by the same semester in which the student completes PHYS4101 or PHYS4002, whichever is taken first.  For many students, this means that the courses must be completed by the end of the Spring of the third year.
