CORE COURSES IN MATHEMATICS
at
The University of Georgia

These are used to fulfill requirements in Areas A and D in the University's Core Curriculum .

MATH 1101 (Mathematical Modeling): can be used to satisfy a Core A requirement for majors outside science and business.

MATH 1111 (College Algebra, not taught at UGA): except for students completing their entire Core Area A at another System Institution, College Algebra courses taken outside UGA can not be used in UGA's Core Area A.

MATH 1060 (Mathematics of Decision Making): may be used to satisfy a Core D requirement.

MATH 1113 (Precalculus): may be used in Core Area A or Core Area D. It is required of all students in the College of Business and all Science majors in the College of Arts and Sciences. All sections of this course will carry 3 hours of credit. However, some of these sections will be designated as intensive . Intensive sections will meet 5 hours per week; they will include more review of algebra than regular sections.

There will be two occasions for referring students to intensive precalculus sections (subject to availability):

  1. During orientation (see Placement Criteria ),
  2. After the first computer test, which will be given during the third week of MATH 1113.

MATH 2200 (Analytic Geometry and Calculus): MATH 2200 is required by the Business School and either MATH 2200 or MATH 2250 is required for all Bachelor of Science Degrees in the college of Arts and Sciences (see note below). MATH 2200 is a terminal one-semester course. Students who may need to take further calculus classes should take MATH 2250.

MATH 2250 (Calculus for Science and Engineering): Students intending to major in a mathematical science, a physical science, some biological sciences, or engineering, or who wish to complete a second or third calculus course, should take this class. It satisfies Core Area A for Engineering and Core Area D for all other majors.
