For Geophysics, Geology-Geophysics, Physics, and Chemistry Majors

Physics, Geology-Geophysics, Geophysics, and Chemistry majors have the following math requirements. Please be sure that you visit the Math & Physical Sciences Major subsection of the Calculus area on this website to help choose the Calculus course that's right for you.

Geophysics, Geology-Geophysics, and Physics Majors

Your major requires that you complete the ordinary Calculus sequence and then MT305, usually in this order:

• MT102 Calculus I (Math and Science Majors)
• MT103 Calculus II (Math and Science Majors) -- MT105 Calculus II-AP (Math and Science Majors) may substitute
• MT202 Multivariable Calculus
• MT305 Advanced Calculus (Science Majors)

Note

• Students with no Calculus AP credit or with no Calculus background should begin Calculus with MT102 Calculus I (Math and Science Majors).
• Students with Calculus AP credit and a year of a "Calculus AB" curriculum should enroll directly in MT105 Calculus II-AP (Math and Science Majors).
• Students who have studied a year of a "Calculus BC" curriculum and who achieved a score of 4 or 5 on the Calculus BC Advanced Placement exam should consider enrolling directly in MT202 Multivariable Calculus.

Chemistry Majors

Your major requires that you complete the Calculus sequence:

• MT102 Calculus I (Math and Science Majors)
• MT103 Calculus II (Math and Science Majors) -- MT105 Calculus II-AP (Math and Science Majors) may substitute
• MT202 Multivariable Calculus.

Note

• Students with no Calculus AP credit or with no Calculus background should begin Calculus with MT102 Calculus I (Math and Science Majors).
• Students with Calculus AP credit and a year of a "Calculus AB" curriculum should enroll directly in MT105 Calculus II-AP (Math and Science Majors).
• Students who have studied a year of a "Calculus BC" curriculum and who achieved a score of 5 on the Calculus BC Advanced Placement exam should consider enrolling directly in MT202 Multivariable Calculus.
• It is recommended, but not required, that Chemistry majors also complete MT305 Advanced Calculus (Science Majors).
