Upcoming
Changes to the Mathematics Programs and Courses
Effective Fall 2010
1. MATH 126 and MATH 227 will
be re-numbered as MATH 136 and MATH 137 and will become 4-credit hour
courses that include lecture and recitation.
2. Students who wish to declare a 728 or 528 mathematics major
will initially be declared as "Seeking Admission." In order to be
granted admission into either of these majors, a student must satisfy
the following requirements:
(i) Complete MATH 136, MATH 137, AND
MATH 307 or MATH 310.
(ii) Earn a grade of C or better in each of
the courses taken in Item (i).
(iii) Have an overall GPA of at least 2.4 in the
mathematics program courses completed prior to admission (MATH 136 and
above).
3. We are re-numbering MATH 329 and MATH 429 as MATH
382 and MATH 482 and are changing the prerequisites of MATH 382 to MATH
310 and MATH 327.
4. We are changing the prerequisites
of MATH 403 to MATH 205 and MATH 206 with a grade of C or
better OR Math 211 and Math 212 with a grade of C or better.
5. We are changing the prerequisites
of MATH 411 to MATH 205, MATH 206, and MATH 308 with
a grade of C or better, OR MATH 211, MATH 212, and MATH 308 with a
grade of C better, OR permission of instructor.
6. We are changing the prerequisites
of MATH 413 to MATH 117 or MATH
126, with a grade of C or better.
7. A new course is being developed for Gatton Academy/Honors
Program Students: MATH 371 – Advanced Computational Problem
Solving (Prerequisite: CS 240 with a grade of C or better;
Pre/Corequisite: MATH 136).
8. The Major in Middle Grades Mathematics (730) is being revised
to a minimum of 32 hours of mathematics with a requirement change of MATH
117 and 126 OR MATH 136 and 137;
(7 or 8 hrs). Both changes are due to the revisions and
re-numberings of MATH 126 and MATH 227 listed above in Item
1.
9. We are deleting the courses MATH 132 and MATH 232.
Therefore in the mathematics majors, the required calculus sequence
will be MATH 136 and MATH 137. (Students will no longer be able
to take MATH 122-132-232.)
10. We are re-numbering MATH
327 to
MATH 237 and changing its prerequisite to MATH 137 with a
grade of C or better.
11. We are changing the prerequisite of STAT 301 to MATH
136 or MATH 142.
12. We are developing two new statistics courses: STAT 401
– Regression Analysis and STAT 402 – Experimental Design.
13. We are developing a minor in Applied
Statistics. The requirements will be
(i) MATH 136 or
142
(ii) STAT 301, 330, and 401
(iii) At least 6 credit
hours from the following:
Any 300-level or 400-level STAT course other than 301, 330, and 401;
MATH 382, 482, or 470;
At most 3 credit hours of 300-400 level statistical coursework relevant
to the student’s area of study
(with prior approval from the Statistics Education Committee of the
Department of Mathematics and
Computer Science)
14. We are eliminating the 21-Hour Minor in Mathematics
Certifiable for Secondary Teaching. All students currently in
this minor program must complete all requirements by December 2011.
15. We are revising the Minor in Mathematics (417) to account for
the number and hour changes in the calculus sequence. See Minor
in Math for details.
