The general education requirement for a foreign language for those following a Mathe­ matics major may be met by two years of high school language or the first four units of a college language . 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 varying rates. Fee: same as for 2 units of credit. 101 PRECALCULUS MATHEMATICS (3) Sets, the real number system, relations, functions, graphs, algebraic processes, inequalities, trigonometric functions, matrices, and determinants, complex numbers exponential and logarithmic functions, introduction to sequences, series, probability, and statistics. Pre­ requisite: 3 years of high school mathematics or consent of instructor. Cannot be counted toward the major. 105 ANALYTICAL GEOMETRY AND CALCULUS I (4) An introduction to analytical geometry, differentiation, and integration of polynomial functions, with applications. Prerequisite: 4 years of high school mathematics or consent of instructor. 106 ANALYTICAL GEOMETRY AND CALCULUS II (4) Differentiation and integration of trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions, various methods of integration, and vectors in the plane. Prerequisite: 105. 111 FUNDAMENTALS OF MATHEMATICS (3) Set theory, relations and functions, number systems and algebraic structures, numeration systems, elementary number theory, mathematical systems, concepts of probability, introduction to statistics, informal geometry.
