There are three types of mathematicians in the world.
Those that can count and those that cannot.
Mathematics is not (just) about numbers…

You … Just to function as a citizen Why does EVERY MAJOR at EVERY
COLLEGE have mathematics requirements? Not necessarily for mathematics knowledge For problem-solving skills For logical and critical thinking
So don’t say, “I don’t need this stuff.”

Probably twice as fast Not much time for in-class work Probably a LOT more homework Attendance? (No one will call your mom) Practice tests? Make-up tests? In short, YOU must be responsible.

Take the Placement Test seriously! (It may save you a year or two) 025/026: Arithmetic 058: Pre-Algebra 060: Beginning Algebra 070/075: Intermediate Algebra 083: Geometry
Review your high school math!

Inexpensive Local Often, smaller class size Teaching-centered faculty Can end up with the same degree
