Regardless of their major, students should consult with their advisors and the Undergraduate Bulletin before registering for any mathematics course. For those students taking Calculus, the sequence MT 133 - MT 134 can be used to replace a requirement of MT 135.
Students majoring in programs that do not require a specific mathematics class may choose from MT 118 (Applied Mathematics), MT 120 (Mathematics and Computing), MT 122 (Elementary Statistics I), MT 135 (Calculus), MT 160 (Mathematics and Creativity), MT 162 (Mathematics from Nonwestern Cultures), and MT 167 (Mathematics of Change and Chance).
