These abilities are absolutely necessary in advanced courses, and students should not be misled by easy success in Math. 1 or 2. Courses become increasingly abstract, and the emphasis is less on formula solving, more on logical thinking. Only those receiving honor grades in the elementary courses should consider concentrating in his field...
Concentrators must take a minimum of four courses in the Department, and two other courses which have mathematical prerequisites. Especially recommended are courses in Physics, Applied Science, and Astronomy. Only one of these courses may be of freshman level. Physics 1, a freshman courses with no math prerequisites, may be included if passed with an honor grade...
