provides an attractive and thorough offer- ing in mathematics as part of God's cre­ ation and there is a concerted effort to in­ tegrate faith and learning. Department Major: All majors are re­ quired to take a core curriculum of I05, I06, 205, 290, 298, 305, 315 and comput­ er science IO I . Various sequences of courses which depend on the area of con­ centration are recommended to complete the requirements. Those who plan to pursue graduate studies should take 410 (Topics in Ad­ vanced Calculus) and 480 (a research semi­ nar) regardless of the area of concentra­ tion. The following course sequences are recommended for: Applied Math (45 total units): 321, 331, 332, 333, one section of 430. Computer Science (48 total units): 333, 400 and two of 321, 331 or 332. Comput­ er science I02 or 202 and two courses in computer science at the 300 level or above. Teaching (45 total units): 331, 332, 415 (Number Theory) and 420 (Modern Ge­ ometry). All concentrations must include 24 up­ per division units. The general education requirement for a foreign language for those following a mathematical sciences major may be met by two years of high school language or the first four units of a college language. The science/mathematics requirement may be met by three units of science. Department Minor: 27 units, six of which must be upper division. Students must consult with department advisor. The basic curriculum for a minor is I05, I06, 205, 290, 298, two courses at the 300 level or above and computer science IO I . I00 INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA (3) Review of elementary algebra, graphs and polynominals. Study of linear and quadratic equations and inequalities, factoring, frac­ tions, exponents and radicals (semi self­ paced). Prerequisite: one year of high school algebra.

Applications chosen main­ ly from the management sciences. Prereq­ uisite: passing proficiency exam adminis­ tered by business department or receiving a "C" or better grade in math I00 the pri­ or year.
