MATHEMATICS Objective: This department endeavors to provide a selection of courses in mathe­ matics adequate for students pursuing courses of study in the following: ele­ mentary or secondary education, business, psychology, social, biological, and phys­ ical sciences. Department Majo1·: The Department of Mathematics offers a major in Mathe­ matics designed for prospective secondary teachers. The upper division courses will be offered beginning 1970-71.

Lower division requirements : 105, 106, 205, 206.

Major requirements: 38 units of mathematics, 24 of which must be from upper division courses, and 8 units of General Physics. Department Minor: 26 units of mathematics, 12 of which mu s t be from upper divi­ sion courses, and 8 units of General Physics. 51 BASIC MATHEMATICS (0) A non-credit survey course for those deficient in arithmetic, elementary algebra, and geometry. A supervised-study learning approach allowing students to proceed at vary­ ing rates. Fee: same as for 2 units of credit. 101, 102 PRECALCULUS MATHEMATICS I, II (3, 3) Sets, the real number system, relations, functions, graphs, algebraic processes, inequali­ ties, trigonometric functions, determinants, complex numbers exponential and logarith­ mic functions, introduction to sequences, series and probability.
