Alright.... Question for AS in Math - Alecs

[creationstory]

If someone had Calc I, Calc II, College Math... a Stat for Behav Science, and a Logic Course (though its listed as Philosphy)

and took some of these courses

Hi, I understand your question and the following note exists at the bottom of the page you linked to:

"Note: Courses listed in the Area of Study are a guide; other mathematics courses may by appropriate for this option. The following courses are examples of the types of mathematics courses that CANNOT be used in the Mathematics Option: College Algebra, Finite Math, Pre-Calculus, or Trigonometry. These courses are not advanced level mathematics courses."

This is a similar policy to ECE which states in the 'School of Liberal Arts Catelog':

"Mathematics Restriction

Arithmetic courses and courses that have been designated as developmental or remedial may not be used toward your degree. No more than three courses on the semester-hour system (or four courses on the quarter-hour system) of mathematics credit below the level of calculus may be applied to any degree. Representative titles of math courses below the level of calculus include College Math, College Algebra, Elemntary Functions, Modern Math, Fundamentals of Algebra, Trigonometry, and Precalculus."

-----------------
What this means based on the information you have provided, is the following:

Section A -
Calculus I satisfies all requirements

Section B -
Calculus II satisfies 3 credits
Stats for Behavioural Sciences may satisfy 3 credits
1 course/3 credits remaining from options

Section C-
3 courses/9 credits remaining from options

The logic course, if it's based in the arts side of things covering propositional and predicate logic probably does not satisfy the mathematical logic requirement. You could check with TESC to see how they handle it?

Unfortunately, the bottom line is that the requirements for a mathematics concentration or major involve the tasty maths courses and not anything below calculus. I did three years of maths and philo at uni and left without a degree, however having checked with the transfering of abstract algebra/number theory/group theory courses I did, they don't add up to any of the big three's full requirements so I'd have to sit a couple more full time courses to go down this route.

At this stage, a degree of any sort is more reasonable than pursuing a maths degree again
