course* which will be added on
the level include abstract alge
bra, applied mathematics, top
ology, and analysis. New cours
es for undergraduates include
modern algebra, advanced cal
culus, numerical analysis, and
operations analysis.
Core courses offered by the
mathematics department in
clude modern algebra, portab
ility, advanced calculus, and
differential equations.
Workshops in elementary and
secondary school mathematics
will be held regularly. In addi
tion to these, the in-service
teacher may also take any other
graduate course he chooses.
Under the revised program,
students not majoring in mathe
matics will take courses in in
troduction to mathematics, al
gebra, and introductory prob
ability. The first course in
cludes sets, functions, and the
real number system. The last
course deals primarily with pro
bability. All these courses will
be required of all non-math
majors beginning next year.
Hath majors will begin their
study at various levels, depend
ing on their background. A stu
dent who has the necessary
background may take calculus
in his freshman year. Those
whose background in algebra
and trigonometry is weak will
spend two or three quarters
with these subjects before mov
ing on to calculus.
The depth of work offered
at Appalachian will be essenti
ally the same as that offered at
any school in the nation.
