<p>Does anyone happen to know a link to determine how to satisfy the math requirements for the comm school at a local community college before matriculating to UVA?</p>
<p>Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>Probability or Calculus:
MATH 111, Math 121, OR Higher Level</p>
<p>Here's the link to the courses so can find out what those courses are:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.virginia.edu/registrar/%5B/url%5D">http://www.virginia.edu/registrar/</a></p>
<p>Your first step is to see if the classes will transfer. This link will help you determine if your class is valid for transfer. </p>
<p>If the classes can be transferred, then at orientation take your transcript (if you finished the classes) and, to be safe, a description of the math classes to your advisor. If the advisor gives the approval, then you have to go to Garrett Hall and talk to the receptionist who will send you to the right people. </p>
<p>It could be easier than this, but this is a worse case scenario.</p>
<p>Thanks UVAMalex09 the Course Analyzer link shows the Norhtern Virginia Community college course is a match for Math 121 that Calcruzer referenced.
Thanks for that info Calcruzer!</p>
<p>So that is a good start since UVA is saying that the credit transfers but not the grade, which is fine.
Do either of you know what would be beyond the Math 121 in terms of a requirement for Comm School. The registrar link did not seem to reference a core curriculum, or maybe I am just not finding it.</p>
<p>Any further direction on a course list would be appreciated.
Thanks again.</p>
<p>vistany, the comm school only requires one semester of statistics and one semester of calculus or probability. Both requirements are very, very easy, particularly if you take the equivalents of math 121 and stat 212.</p>
<p>I think the math requirement is way too easy, and it's time that they lift the bar. They should require students to do MATH310 which is probability.</p>
<p>Why should we subject people to horror that is probability. I am taking APMA 310 (Probability for us E-schoolers) and it's a nightmare. I can't remember what I have heard about MATH 310, but probability is still probability</p>
<p>Probability will be useful in finance.</p>
<p>Lol, while I agree that it would be a good idea to make the comm school math requirement more legit, I don't think it would end up being a good thing for the comm school because sooo many people coming into college are math-phobic and would end up majoring in something else.</p>
<p>math 310 is a bunch of bull and no one does well.
half of the class has no calculus (permutations) and the other half is double integrals. please, let me know what kind of person does well on that. without the ridiculous curve we got from our retiring prof i dunno how anyone does well that class.</p>
<p>I did relatively well in 310 (w/ Howland). It wasn't a bad class, but a less theoretical focus would have more useful to most of the students. I would have gotten an A if I hadn't neglected to do most of the homework...</p>
<p>So, just taking Math 121 and not something hire wont her my application to the Comm school?</p>
<p>It probably shouldn't. I know plenty of people who just took math 121 and stat 212 and got in.</p>
<p>Thanks for all of this info, you guys are encyclopedic (sp)</p>
<p>What else do sucessful comm students take? Is there a formula getting in similar to the "chance me" threads?</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>
<p>cav302 - obv, youre lying or youre inhuman. my A- was thanks to massive hard work and the amazing curve (that 70 on the first test killed me).</p>
<p>I don't know what to say, hazelorb. I didn't find it to be very challenging, especially since Howland left out all the difficult parts of the book. (But then again, the book did have some stuff in it that was outside of the scope of an undergraduate course.)</p>
<p>Most of the material in the class was abstract and not particularly applicable to most of what a comm school kid would need. It's a good class for building up yr mathematical toolkit, though...so I guess I'd recommend it, but not over calc III or diff eq.</p>
<p>How useful is calc 3 for comm school?</p>
