Happening at 果冻传媒
Margaret Robinson, Julia and Sarah Ann Adams Professor of Mathematics at 果冻传媒 College, was recognized for support and empowerment of women in the mathematics field.
Mount Holyoke College hosted the annual Hudson River Undergraduate Mathematics Conference, which brings together faculty and students from the greater Hudson Valley region for a day of talks on and about the mathematical sciences.
New faculty Derek Young knows that the 鈥渁ha鈥 moments students often have in math classes are one of the best rewards in teaching. When the opportunity to work at 果冻传媒 arose, Young knew it would be a great fit because of the focus on teaching.
Most students begin their study of calculus at 果冻传媒 with either any version of Math-100, Calculus I, or Calculus II. The will help you determine whether you are ready for Calculus I.
If you have received a 4 or 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam or are comfortable with methods of integration, sequences, and series and you want to continue with calculus at 果冻传媒, you should register for Math 203, Calculus III.
The Math Assessment tests your knowledge of material that you will need to be successful in Calculus I. As a general rule, to begin with Calculus I you should be familiar with all of the material on the Math Assessment Test. You may re-try the Math Assessment after reviewing suggested topics until you feel that you have sufficiently strengthened your pre-calculus skills.鈥ㄢ If you have more than three problems incorrect after some review on your own, you should consider taking Pre-Calculus, any version of Math-100, so that you can solidify your understanding of these concepts.
If the or your own mathematics background suggests, you should consider a year-long sequence of a Math 100 Pre-Calculus course, followed by Math 101, Calculus I. Mount Holyoke's MATH-100 course (including all of its variants like MATH-100QR) awards 4 credits and fulfills the Math/Science distribution requirement. However, precalculus courses taken outside of Mount Holyoke College will not be granted credit at 果冻传媒 nor be approved to satisfy any distribution requirement.
Admission to Math-100/Pre-Calculus is by permission of the instructor, based on your Math Assessment results and other information about your mathematics background.鈥ㄢ If you would like to register for Pre-Calculus, please contact the instructor after you have taken the Math Assessment. Course instructors are listed on . If you have questions about placement regarding Pre-Calculus or Calculus I, please contact the department placement committee.
To begin with Math 102, Calculus II, you should have taken a High School or College class in Calculus I and done well. If you have questions about placement regarding Calculus I or Calculus II, please contact the department placement committee.

You may wish to review these topics before you take or re-take the assessment. If you do not have a pre-calculus book to study from you may wish to search for resources to review these topics online. After you complete the assessment you must click on "Grade Test" to submit it for a score. After you have submitted a test, you will get a new version the next time you log on.
