Freshman-level calculus courses include MATH 112a or b, Calculus of Functions of One Variable I; MATH 115a or b, Calculus of Functions of One Variable II; and MATH 120a or b, Calculus of Functions of Several Variables. If you wish to take one of these courses, you must complete the online mathematics advising examination described below. Placement at an appropriate level will give you the best opportunity to succeed in a calculus course. AP exam scores are important for placement, but they are only crude indicators of preparation. The advising examination helps the department make a more accurate judgment about the course best suited to your experience. |

The online advising examination will be available from late August until the end of the second week of the fall term, and again from early January until the end of the second week of the spring term. In order to take the examination, follow the link on the Mathematics Web site. After you complete the test, print it out and bring it to a Mathematics department advising session during Freshman Orientation. Times and places will be listed on the departmental Web site. A departmental adviser will discuss with you the results of the assessment and the level of course in which you should enroll.
