Leon, Richard R. Miller, David Tolman; Assistant Professors, Neil S. Dickson, J. David Hepworth, Robert W. Irvine, Gail P. Miles, Steven A. Moss; Lecturers, Steven D. Kerr, Martha Ann Larkin. The Department of Mathematics, in addition to providing service courses for the entire college, offers three types of majors: a regular departmental major, a major with an applied mathematics option, and a teaching major. 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 tests are required, prior to registration, of all students who have not completed the specified prerequisite courses from an accredited college with a "C" grade or better within the past year. Students are admitted to Mathematics 105 on the basis of their performance on the ACT entrance tests and their high school background. Further placement in Mathematics 106, 107 or 211 is possible by scoring sufficiently high on the level II ACT mathematics test. Other tests are available for credit and/or higher placement for qualified students. Arrangements to take the examinations must be made with the college testing bureau located in the Student Personnel Center. Students are advised to review material to be tested before examinations are taken. BACCALAUREATE DEGREE REQUIREMENTS Students who wish to select a major or minor in mathematics must file an application with the Chairman of the Mathematics Department and must have their programs approved before registering for upper division courses. Department MajorThe following courses are required for the departmental major: Mathematics 107, 211, 212, 213, 320, 321, 322, 323 and at least 18 credit hours of other approved mathematics courses numbered above 307. These courses must be completed with a "C" grade or better. At least 12 credit hours of mathematics courses numbered above 307 must be completed at Weber State College. Physics 261, 262, 263, 264, 265, 266 is also required. Bachelor of Arts Degree: In addition to the above requirements the student must take German 101, 102, 103, 201, 202, 203 or the equivalent in another approved modern language. Bachelor of Science Degree: Students desiring a bachelor of science degree must complete the requirements for a departmental major and either the language requirement for the bachelor of arts degree or select approved electives in place of the language requirement. It is recommended that students planning graduate work obtain at least a reading knowledge in French or German. Bachelor of Science Degree Applied Mathematics Option: Students interested in a bachelor of science degree with an Applied Mathematics Emphasis should consult with the Mathematics Department early in their program. A student choosing this option is required to fulfill the requirements of a departmental major with the following exceptions. Either Mathematics 371, 372, 373 or Mathematics 335, 451, 452 is required instead of Mathematics 321, 322, 323. In lieu of a minor the student must take Data Processing 260 and an additional 20 credits of approved courses in physics, chemistry, data processing, pre-engineering, or business. The student whose emphasis is in applied areas other than science may replace Physics 261, 263, 264, 265, 266, 267 with approved upper division courses. 131 |
