Math Gen Ed Options

One of the math advisors was nice enough to pass along these blurbs about two math gen ed (quantitative reasoning) options available for the fall. If you are preparing for a major that does NOT have specific math requirements (email me to confirm) then you could consider:

  • Math 181, A Mathematical World, is a Quant 1 course that is suitable for students who will not need to take calculus. The recommended ALEKS Math Placement score for the course is 30%; there are many seats available and more will likely be opened throughout the summer
  • Math 124, Finite Mathematics, is another Quant 1  course that will be opened to students outside of ACES next week. The recommended ALEKS Math Placement score for the course is 50%. The available seats are in a blended format: half in lecture and half on-line, which can help fit the course into a busy schedule.
