Students can also take MATH 111 (Calculus I) or MATH 101 (Foundations of Mathematics for the Liberal Arts) instead of MATH 138.

1

Math: We highly recommend MATH 111 Calculus I and MATH 333 Probability and Statistics  to replace MATH 138 General Calculus I and MATH 105 Elementary Probability and Statistics, particularly for students contemplating advanced or graduate work in computing. We also encourage you to take MATH 112 Calculus II and one or more advanced statistics courses as free electives, such as MATH 341 Statistical Methods II or MATH 344 Regression Analysis, both of which require MATH 333 Probability and Statistics as a prerequisite. 

2

Independent Study (optionally leading to the Undergraduate Thesis Option): We encourage you to consider an independent study (IS 488) as part of your electives as juniors and seniors. You could then continue with an Undergraduate Thesis (IS 489), which optionally can substitute for IS 491 or IT 491. The thesis option is explained further on the Informatics Department web site. Please consult your advisor as early in your Moved from Y4S2 Moved to Y4S1 Old GUR studies as possible to plan appropriately for all of these opportunities
