Mathematics for the CALS StudentStudents in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences have the following options for completing the quantitative literacy requirement:
Advanced PlacementStudents who have had at least a semester of calculus but did not take a calculus placement exam and students who wish to improve their existing AP score may take a placement exam during fall orientation. (See Advanced Placement for Calculus for details.) Transfer CreditThe Mathematics Department will review all calculus courses and any statistics course taken in a mathematics or statistics department. (See Transfer Credit for details.) Statistics courses taken in a social science department (like psychology or sociology) must be reviewed by the corresponding social science department at Cornell. Approved Cornell CoursesAny course offered by the Mathematics Department except MATH 1000 may be used to satisfy the quantitative literacy requirement. The following courses are good options for CALS students who need to complete an approved math course at Cornell:
MATH 1110 is recommended for students who will take at least two semesters of calculus. Students who need only one semester of calculus may prefer MATH 1106, which is oriented toward the interests of life and social science students. Statistics CoursesMATH 1710 is a popular choice for many CALS students, but there are other introductory statistics courses at Cornell. A list of statistics courses that will satisfy the quantitative literacy requirement can be found on the CALS web site at www.cals.cornell.edu/cals/current/registrar/current-students/cals-graduation/math-requirement.cfm.Last modified:May 6, 2008 |
