Math Placements

Primary emphasis is on techniques and concepts needed for calculus. This course does not count toward the Magis core mathematics requirement, and is meant to be taken only by students who are required to take MATH 1121, MATH 1141 or MATH 1171 for their majors, but who do not have a strong enough mathematical background. Three credits.

This course introduces a variety of interesting ideas in mathematics at an elementary level. It is meant for the student who would like to fulfill a math core requirement and does not need to take mathematics for the major. Three credits.

A brief, low-level, conceptual introduction to calculus that introduces the ideas of differentiation and integration and shows how they are related. It is meant for the student who would like to fulfill a math core requirement and does not need to take a particular mathematics course for the major. Three credits.

An introduction to key ideas of elementary statistics. It is meant for the student who would like to fulfill a math core requirement and does not need to take a particular mathematics course for the major. Three credits.

A standard applied calculus sequence, with applications to business and the life and social sciences. This course is preparation for additional courses in mathematics, and satisfies requirements for the math minor. This sequence does not assume any previous knowledge of calculus. Students should be comfortable with high school algebra and precalculus. Each course is three credits.

These courses provide the necessary preparation for the additional courses in mathematics required for a student majoring in Biochemistry, Chemistry, Physics or Engineering. This sequence does not assume any previous knowledge of calculus. Students should be comfortable with high school algebra and precalculus. Each course is four credits.

An excellent and rigorous calculus sequence for those who have had at least a strong precalculus background from high school and an interest in and aptitude for mathematics; similar to an AP calculus course; preparation for additional courses in mathematics, including the major and the minor in mathematics. This sequence does not assume any previous knowledge of calculus. Students who have done well in a high school calculus course and, in particular, an AP course, may consider MATH 1172, instead of MATH 1171. By doing so, the student will be able to earn a mathematics major with 13, instead of 14, mathematics courses, and a minor with four instead of five courses. Each course is four credits.

This course is a faster-paced introduction to statistics than MATH 1017. It includes additional topics, and students learn to analyze data with the use of standard software packages. Calculus (at least MATH 1121, MATH 1441 or MATH 1171) is a prerequisite. Students typically take MATH 2217 during their sophomore or junior year. MATH 2217 is required for all students in the Dolan School of Business, and suggested for many science majors. This core math course is often taken by students minoring in math.

For a student who has placed out of the first year of Calculus due to AP credits or course work. This is a course in multivariable calculus with applications to business, life sciences and social sciences. This course satisfies requirements for the math minor. Three credits.

For a student who has placed out of first year Calculus due to AP credits or course work. This is a course in multivariable calculus designed for students majoring in Biochemistry, Chemistry, Physics or Engineering. Four credits.

For a student who has placed out of first year Calculus due to AP credits or course work. This is an excellent and rigorous course in several variable calculus for students with strong aptitude and interest in mathematics. Four credits.

For students with a very strong aptitude and interest in mathematics. This course introduces fundamental mathematical concepts at a high level including sets, functions, equivalence relations and partitions, the principle of mathematical induction, and countability. Three credits.
