For Recommendations: Does My AP JAVA teacher Count As Math

<p>My question is very simple. Many schools require at least one recommendation from a mathematics teacher. I took AP Comp Sci junior year and I want to use that teacher for a recommendation. My prospective major will most likely be econ and I'd rather get a rec from her than from my pre-calc, stats, and calc teachers. Would I be safe using this course to fulfill the math requirement?</p>

<p>Maybe not impossible, but not safe either. You could contact the schools to ask them and I guess that then you could be safe.</p>

<p>its considered math at my school</p>

<p>I doubt that AP Java will be considered as Math. You better check with the Admission Office.</p>

<p>what??? i've never heard of anything like this?? what schools neeed recs from math teachers???</p>

<p>uh... i think most schools require one rec from a math/sci teacher and one from humanities/english/social sciences teacher. not specifically math...</p>

<p>MIT,Caltech</p>

<p>I think caltech wants a math rec</p>

<p>How the heck could java count as math? I fail to see the connection</p>

<p>Computer Science is a math. I think that's pretty much agreed upon. I see no problem with a CompSci teacher fulfilling a math slot.</p>

<p>The best idea is to contact the specific school and ask.</p>
