1st and 2nd Year Mathematics Flow Chart

By Professor Les Glaser , Undergraduate Advisor, JWB 239, 581-6837.

Initial Placement

Notes

• ⁽¹⁾ More than Math 221, approximates Mth 2270.
• ⁽²⁾ Math 112 & 113 in one semester.
• ⁽³⁾ Covers Lin Alg & Vector Calc, approx's Mth 2210 plus missing part of Mth 2250.

The above flow chart should be given to anyone in your department involved in 1st year Math advising during the transition period 1997-1998 (quarters) through 1998-1999 (semesters). This chart provides what I feel are reasonable paths for this period for students in the various areas, and suggest ways to make the change over most efficient. The first half is for Mathematics Majors or Science or Engineering Majors who want a stronger mathematics emphasis. It should be used for students attempting a DOUBLE MAJOR, where one of the majors is in mathematics. The second half is for Science or Engineering Majors based on generic requirements many of you seem to have been using in the past, and merely gives ideas on possible paths you may want to modify. Some further comments may be useful.

1. Math 111-112-113 will be similar to what will be done in Mth 1210-1220 under semesters. (Mth 1215-1225 will be the same thing with an added plus of a Maple component.) This will be essentially standard 1-variable calculus, plus material on partials and on differential equations. Mth 2210 will do the multivariate material.
2. Math 211-212-213 will be much like this sequence of previous years. It will still be a 1st year calculus course, and, in fact, uses the same text as Math 111-112-113. But it is run at a higher level, works harder problems, and may include more theory. It also will cover more than the new 100-level sequence. It will do as much multivariate material as time will permit so Mth 2210 may then be omitted. When we change to semesters, Mth 1250-1260 (AP Calculus) will cover in 2 semesters what we will do in the three semester Mth 1210,1220, 2210 (Calculus I, II, III). Under semesters, AP students with an AB test score of 4 or 5 will be recommended to take Mth 1250; AP students with a BC test score of 3, 4, or 5 will be recommended to take Mth 1260. AP students with an AB test score of 3 will be recommended to take Mth 1220. The key point is that students taking Math 213 or Mth 1260 will not need to take Mth 2210.
3. Mth 1400 is a special one time course offered Autumn 1998 which will allow students having credit for Math 111 to complete the remaining topics of Math 112-113 in one semester. (They may also do this Summer 1998 via intensive calculus.)
4. Spring Quarter 1998, Math 221 will meet an extra day so as to cover much that we will cover in Mth 2270 (Linear Algebra), which then may be omitted.
5. Mth 2500 is a special one time course offered Autumn 1998 which will allow students having credit for Math 251 (ODEs) to complete the remaining topics from Linear Algebra and Vector Calculus in one semester. Thus Math 251 + Mth 2500 will essentially be Mth 2210 (Vector Calculus) + Mth 2250 (ODEs & Lin Alg).
