数学的位置

All three computing degrees have a math requirement.  Placing the student in the correct math course will ensure that they do not take unnecessary courses while also meeting the requirements of the degree.

Students may enter 365bet with an ACT Math score.  Some students will not have an ACT score, but they will have a Developmental Studies Math score.  Both the ACT Math score, if it exists, and the Developmental Studies Math score can be found on the student's 万仕达 建议页面. 一般来说, if the student has an ACT Math score, use that to choose the appropriate Math course for the student. The Math department provides maps of ACT Math scores to classes on their 建议页面.

If the student does not have an ACT Math score, use the Developmental Studies Math 分数不是.  A Developmental Studies Math score of 4 means the student can take 数学1710.  A Developmental Studies Math score of less than 4 means the student needs an enhanced math class, either enhanced MATH 1530 or enhanced 数学1710 depending on the student's major.  一般来说, if a student needs an enhanced math class, this will be indicated on the 万仕达 Advising page under the Deficiency section.

A student may feel that they are able to start in a higher-level math course than what their scores indicate. In that case, the student should contact the math department for a placement test.  

Computer Information Systems

The CIS degree has two math requirements

• MATH 1530 Elements of Statistics
• 选择1
  • MATH 1810 Elements of Calculus
  • MATH 1910 Calculus I
  • CSCI 2500 Discrete Structures

All CIS students are required to take MATH 1530 Elements of Statistics. 一般来说,

• If the student has transferred in an appropriate equivalent of MATH 1530, they can move on to one of the other required math courses.
• When the student does not have MATH 1530 on their transcript
  • If the student's ACT Math score or Developmental Studies Math does not indicate that the student needs an enhanced math class, the student should be placed in MATH 1530
  • If the student's ACT Math score or Developmental Studies Math indicates the student is required to take an enhanced math class, the student should be placed in an enhanced section of MATH 1530.

The CIS students have a choice for the second math class.  When advising students, it may be useful to consider the prerequisites for each class.

• CSCI 2500 Discrete Structures (3 credits).  The prerequisites are

  • A C or better in both CSCI 1010 and CSCI 1011, or a  C or better in CSCI 2000
         和
    A C or better in MATH 1010, or C or better in MATH 1530, or ACT score of 19 or higher

• MATH 1810 Elements of Calculus (3 credits). The prerequisites are ACT-M 25 or higher or 数学1710 or MATH 1110 or MATH 1730.  
• MATH 1910 Calculus I (4 credits). The prerequisites are ACT-M score of at least 27 and HS trigonometry or MATH 1730 with a grade of "C" or higher. 

一般来说, most CIS students will take either CSCI 2500 or MATH 1810.  

Computer Information Technology

The CIT degree has one required math class: MATH 1530 Elements of Statistics

• If the student has transferred in an appropriate equivalent of MATH 1530, they are not required to take another math class.
• When the student does not have MATH 1530 on their transcript
  • If the student's ACT Math score or Developmental Studies Math does not indicate that the student needs an enhanced math class, the student should be placed in MATH 1530
  • If the student's ACT Math score or Developmental Studies Math indicates the student is required to take an enhanced math class, the student should be placed in an enhanced section of MATH 1530.

计算机科学

The CS degree has the most required math.  The required courses are

• MATH 1910 Calculus I
• MATH 1920 Calculus II
• MATH 3000 Discrete Mathematics
• MATH 3450 Linear Algebra
• 选择1
  • MATH 4670 Numerical Analysis
  • STAT 3250 Statistical Methods
  • STAT 4240 Probability

Many, but not all, students will not arrive at 365bet for their first semester ready to start in MATH 1910.  一般来说,

• If the student has a math deficiency indicated by their test scores, they should begin the math progression by taking an enhanced section of 数学1710.
• If the student does not have a math deficiency, most students will begin the math progression by starting in either 数学1710 or MATH 1730, depending on their test scores, the results of their math placement exam, or any transfer credits.
• If the student has the appropriate background, they can begin their math progression in MATH 1910 or above.
