Questionnaire


  Yes, I am interested in taking a math course more advanced than that required for my major.

Some graduate programs in finance or economics require calculus for admission. In addition, the honor society Phi Beta Kappa looks for evidence of academic curiosity and taking calculus when not required is viewed favorably. Or maybe you just like math.

  For students who are not going to be math or computer science majors: I would be interested in taking an elective class using 3-dimensional interactive animation to build virtual worlds? This is a class requiring no previous programming experience and is suitable for students who might consider a minor in computer science.

Other comments or information we should know regarding your mathematics background:

Once you submit your questionnaire you will be informed as to whether or not you need take the online exam. The exam is 25-question multiple choice exam that will take one hour or more to complete. DO NOT RUSH, as this will determine your placement in a mathematics course. If you do not have an hour in which to take the exam, do not submit your questionnaire until you are ready to complete the questionnaire and exam in one sitting.
