Kidman Location: Building 4, Room 518C Telephone Contact: Ruth Wright 801-626-6095 Professors: Lee Badger, James H. Foster, Kent O. Kidman, Richard R. Miller, Franklin B. Richards, Paul C. Talaga; Associate Professors: Samih Bourji, Neil S. Dickson, Afshin Ghoreishi, James E. Peters, Timothy Steele, John S. Thaeler; Assistant Professors: George Kvernadze, Monika Serbinowska, Tamas Szabo; Instructor Specialists: Dixie Blackinton, Diane C. Pugmire The Department of Mathematics offers a departmental major and minor, an Honors major, a major with an applied mathematics emphasis, and a teaching major and minor. In addition, many support courses are provided for the entire campus. 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. Placement A. To enroll in mathematics courses numbered 0950 through QL 1080, a student must within the past twelve months have either: 1. Scored sufficiently high on a placement exam at the WSU testing center. (A student may take the placement exam only once per semester.) or 2. Completed the prerequisite course with a grade of "C" or higher. or 3. Received a Math ACT score as follows: a) Above 22 places the student in Math QL1030, Math QL1040, Math QL1050, Math 1060 or Math QL1080. b) 17-22 places the student in Math 1010. c) Below 17 places the student in Math 0950 or Math 0960 according to a placement exam at the WSU testing center. B. To enroll in Mathematics courses numbered 1210 through 2210, a student must within the past twelve months have either: 1. Obtained the appropriate AP Calculus score described below: a) Five on the BC test places the student in Math 2210 or higher. b) Three or four on the BC test places the student in Math 1220 c) Four or five on the AB test places the student in Math 1220 d) Three on the AB test places the student in Math 1210 or 2. Scored sufficiently high on a placement exam at the WSU testing center. (A student may take the placement exam only once per semester.). or 3. Completed the prerequisite course with a grade of "C" or higher. Failure to comply with this policy will normally result in the cancellation of the student's math course registration. It is recommended that students have their programs (majors and minors) approved before registering for upper division courses. MATHEMATICS MAJOR BACHELOR DEGREE (B.S. OR B. A.) » Program Prerequisite: Not required for Regular and Applied Mathematics Emphases. Mathematics Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and certification requirements (see Teacher Education Department in this catalog). » Minor: Required for the departmental major. » Grade Requirements: A grade of "C" or better in courses required for this major (a grade of "C-" is not acceptable), in addition to an overall 2.0 GPA and a 2.0 GPA in mathematics classes numbered 1210 or above. Mathematics Teaching majors must achieve an overall GPA of 3.00 for admission to the Teacher Education program. » Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 120 credit hours is required for graduation — 40-46 of these are required within the major. A total of 40 upper division credit hours is required (courses numbered 3000 and above) — at least twelve credit hours of upper division Mathematics must be completed at Weber State University. 269 Note: Changes are pending. Consult the on-line version of the catalog for the latest requirements — http://catsis.weber.edu/catalogl9992000/ Advisement All Mathematics majors should see the Mathematics Department to be assigned an advisor. They should meet with their advisors at least once a year to help plan their programs and check on their progress. Call 801-626-6095 for more information or to schedule an appointment. Admission Requirements Declare your program of study (refer to page 18 of this catalog). There are no special admission or application requirements for the Regular or Applied mathematics emphases. Mathematics Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and certification requirements (see Teacher Education Department in this catalog). General Education Refer to pages 35-39 of this catalog for either Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts requirements. Phsx PS2210 and Phsx PS2210L will fulfill requirements for both the major and general education. Psych SS1010 (3) in the Social Sciences area is recommended for the Mathematics Teaching Emphasis.
