For Mathematics Majors:

• MATH 104 , MATH 105 , MATH 106 , MATH 108 , MATH 110 , MATH 111 , MATH 112 , MATH 271 , and MATH 272  cannot be used as substitutes for any requirements of the major in mathematics.

For Non-mathematics Majors:

• MATH 108 , MATH 110 , and MATH 111  are designed for students in the social and behavioral sciences.
• Liberal arts majors are advised to take MATH 106 , MATH 110 , or MATH 111 .
• Students in the natural sciences who plan to do graduate work are advised to add courses from MATH 313 , MATH 314 , MATH 351 , MATH 352 , MATH 441 , MATH 442 , MATH 446 , and MATH 447 .

For Both Mathematics and Non-mathematics Majors:

• MATH 104 , MATH 105 , MATH 108 , MATH 110 , MATH 111 , MATH 112 , MATH 113 , MATH 125  have a qualifying score on the Math Placement Test as a prerequisite. The Math Placement Test is given frequently; for the schedule, inquire at the department office or check the Department of Mathematical Sciences website.
• The sequence MATH 123  and MATH 124  is an option for students who need MATH 113  but believe they are not prepared for that course. In these two 3-credit courses, students will learn fundamental algebra and calculus so that upon completion of the sequence, students will be prepared for MATH 114 .
• Students who do not achieve the necessary test score needed to take a math course may go to the Math Learning Center, or they may study and retake the test on their own. A student who does not complete the relevant program in the Math Learning Center or does not achieve the necessary score on the Math Placement Test will not be able to enroll in the class. Depending on their test scores, students who do not place into MATH 113  will be advised to take MATH 104  or MATH 105  or visit the Math Learning Center to prepare for MATH 105 .
• MATH 104  and MATH 105  do not fulfill the Mason Core  ‘Quantitative Reasoning’ requirement.
• Students may not receive credit for both MATH 214  and MATH 216 ; both MATH 213  and MATH 215 ; both MATH 351  and STAT 344 ; and both MATH 352  and STAT 354 .
• After receiving a grade of ‘C’ or better in one of the courses listed below on the left, students may not receive credit for the corresponding course on the right:
