There are many, many silly things about ULL. It's really a pretend college (or so I like to think).Anyway, they should have something like that at ULL, and the fact that they don't is silly.

Math 105 is a requirement for all majors. Art majors only need one more math beyond that, and everyone goes for business math (can't remember the course number). It's actually a whole hell of alot easier because it's all practical application problems, no algebra or theory or any of that nonsense.

Weird. There's nothing mandatory like that up here, at least, not at the University of Victoria. To major in History, you just need history courses and a certain number of electives from any other departments. The only specific out-of-department requirement is first year English. Oh, and completing a course in a second language, but that's only if you want to get an honours degree instead of a major.

You big pussy and your pussy school. At ULL, not only is college algebra a requirement for all majors, but there are also requisite courses in English and a handfull of sciences. All majors must take a biology and a 1-2 course in a science of their choice (I went for geology). In fact, the entire first year is almost nothing but pre-requisites.
Incidentally, this semester they've begun offering a game design course. Just my luck.

Weird! The closest thing we have to a math requirement here is that you can't get IN to University without taking Math 12, which is itself an elective when you are in high school. Maybe it's structured differently down there, but here Math 12 IS algebra. But it's still a step down in difficulty from what they are teaching here in Math 101.Green Gibbon! wrote:You big pussy and your pussy school.

My first year was mostly pre-reqs, too, but they're not nearly so specific. When you're majoring in a humanity like History, you're required to take a certain number of first or second year level courses in the sciences and a certain number in the arts, but you do always get to choose from a selection. I took first year computer science and economics, and that absolved me from any kind of math or sciences or anything like that.
Even the one truly required course, the first year English course in University-level writing, can be skipped by taking an English evaluation exam beforehand and scoring high enough.

Yeah, here we just got gen-eds. Two science, two humanities, two social behaviorl science, writing 2010, and maybe some others. Then you gotta do your major stuff. Oh and you may need math too. I already had most of my generals done so I didn't pay too much attention.
So what is College Algebra? Is it just basically Intermediate Algebra, like in highschool?
