See the Core Requirements listed under the General Education Requirements of the WSU Degree and General Education Requirements of this catalog. Placement in Mathematics Courses Many students enrolling at Weber State are under-prepared for college level mathematics. All students requiring developmental course work must enroll in and not withdraw from their initial developmental course(s) within the first two semesters. These students are then required to enroll in developmental course(s) and make progress each subsequent semester (excluding summer) until all relevant minimum developmental requirements (including MATH 1010 if applicable) have been met for the students' declared degree program of study (AAS, AS, AA, or bachelor's degree). Otherwise, a hold will be placed on their registration, which can only be removed by the Student Success Center (see the Policy and Procedures Manual, PPM 6-02.III.D.1; weber.edu/ppm/6-02.htm). Students are placed in the Mathematics developmental sequence of courses either by ACT, ACCUPLACER, or COMPASS scores. Note that the cut scores given below may be subject to change.

PHIL 2200 will not be accepted in transfer as a QL course by another Utah public institution of higher education. DEVELOPMENTAL MATHEMATICS COURSES - MATH Developmental math courses are taught using a technology enhanced format. Students attend one scheduled class per week and spend a minimum of one additional hour in the computer lab (the Hub) each week where Developmental Mathematics faculty and peer tutors give individualized help. Students complete a minimum of one module per week and may accelerate through the course. Quizzes and tests are taken in the Hub and may be repeated to improve scores. MATH ND0950. Pre-algebra (3) 5m, F, S Fundamental concepts of arithmetic including pre-algebra. Does not count for graduation. MATH ND0955. Integrated Arithmetic and Beginning Algebra (6) Fundamental concepts of arithmetic including pre-algebra. This course is not currently taught. MATH ND0960. First Course in Algebra (3) Su, F, S Relations, functions, positive and negative numbers, rational expressions, linear equations and inequalities. Does not count toward graduation. Prerequisite: MATH ND0950 or placement test. MATH 1010. Intermediate Algebra (4) Su, F, S Graphs; linear equations and systems; exponents and radicals; polynomial, rational, and logarithmic functions; applications. Prerequisite: MATH ND0955, MATH ND0960 or placement test. All Mathematics courses numbered 1020 or higher are found in the following Department of Mathematics portion of the catalog. DEPARTMENT Mathematics Chain Dr. Paul Talaga Location: Building 4, Room 518C Telephone Contact: Anneli Byrd 801-626-6095 Professors: James Foster, Afshin Ghoreishi, Kent Kidman, George Kvernadze, Timothy Steele, Paul Talaga; Associate Professor: James Peters; Assistant Professors: Chloe Cai, Mihail Cocos, Sandra Fital-Akelbek, Matthew Ondrus, Michael Wills; Instructor Specialist: Dixie Blackinton rrom data mining to forensics, mathematics is the language of choice for an ever increasing number of disciplines. The scientist, the engineer, the actuary, the financial planner - all use algebra, geometry, calculus and statistics. But also the voter needs to understand these concepts, albeit at a less advanced level, to reach informed decisions about a multitude of issues from utility rates and retirement saving to information security and global warming. The Department of Mathematics offers a variety of courses (from general interest to advanced levels of applicability), two minors, departmental honors, and three majors. The Mathematics major may be the best choice for someone planning to go directly to graduate school; the Applied Mathematics major prepares one for a job that uses mathematics; the Mathematics Teaching major prepares students to be teachers of mathematics in elementary through high school. Prerequisites Since each course in mathematics requires a working knowledge of principles from prerequisite courses, students are required to earn a "C" grade in each prerequisite course before registering for the next course.
