You are a Liberal Arts or related major and your high school GPA is 2.9 or less. Is this correct? If not restart the math self-placement.

 

Your recommendation is to take Math V40 Mathematics for Liberal Arts AND Math V40J Just-in-Time Support for Mathematics for Liberal Arts.  Support is required if your high school GPA was less than 2.3 and it is recommended if your high school GPA is between 2.4 and 2.9.

 

You have been provided this result as it has been determined that you will need a little extra support in your Math class in order to successfully complete the main course Math V40 in the same semester.  However, depending on what math classes you have taken in high school, you may be able to start in a higher math class. Please check with an Academic Counselor to verify that this is the correct math class for you. Your major may also require you to take additional math classes.

 

The catalog course descriptions for Math V40 and Math V40J are given below:

 

MATH V40 - MATHEMATICAL FOR LIBERAL ARTS 

3 Units 

Hours: 3 lecture weekly 

 

Using and expanding upon the skills gained from intermediate algebra, this course offers the liberal arts student an applications-oriented, problem-solving exploration into a variety of mathematical fields including portions of courses offered in trigonometry, college algebra, statistics, business mathematics, and precalculus. Additional topics suitable for the liberal arts student may include transformational geometry, topology, non-Euclidean geometry, logic and proofs, number systems, number theory, graph theory, networks and linear programming, and computer algorithms. An important aspect of this course is to help students appreciate the value of mathematics in everyday life.
