A catalog, “Mathematics Courses in Claremont,” which lists all mathematics courses offered at the Claremont Colleges, is prepared each year by the Mathematics Field Committee. Students who want to take mathematics courses other than those listed below should consult this catalog. Copies are available in the office of the Registrar, from the Mathematics faculty and on the World Wide Web.

- MATH 009 PZ -Math, Art, and the Environment
- MATH 010 PZ. The Mathematical Mystery Tour.
I saw a high wall and as I had a premonition of an enigma, something that might be hidden behind the wall, I climbed over it with some difficulty. However, on the other side I landed in a wilderness and had to cut my way through with a great effort until-by a circuitous route-I came to the open gate, the open gate of mathematics. From there well-trodden paths lead in every direction. (M.C. Escher). Many beautiful and exciting topics in mathematics are accessible to students having only a minimal background in mathematics. Mathematics 10 is intended to introduce such students to areas of mathematics not included in the usual introductory courses for mathematics and science majors. Topics will vary from year to year and the course may be repeated for credit. Courses that have been taught as Mathematics 10 courses in the recent past, or which are likely to be offered in the near future, include:
• Rubik’s Cube and Other Mathematical Puzzles
• Two-Player Games
• The Mathematics of Gambling
• Cartography
• Dynamical Systems, Chaos and Fractals
• Topology
The Mathematics 10 offering for 2013-14 is: MATH 010G PZ -Mathematics in Many Cultures
- MATH 025 PZ -Precalculus
- MATH 030 PZ -Calculus I
- MATH 031 PZ -Calculus II
- MATH 032 PZ -Calculus III
- MATH 052 PZ -Introduction to Statistics
