18"4 FRESNO STATE COLLEGE
MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT
Professors: Kipps (Chairman), Labarre
Associate Professors: Ewy, E. Robinson, Zane
Assistant Professors: Ali, Arnold, Donohue, Nur, Schwitters, R. Shaw, Torrance,
Woo
Part-time: Malkani, W. Rogers
Mathematics and related subjects play important dual roles in our culture. On
the one hand mathematics is the study of pure thought in its own right; on the
other, it furnishes a language for the expression of ideas in the various sciences.
The courses offered by the department are designed to develop an appreciation of
both roles, particularly for those who plan to continue in study, to teach, or to use
mathematics in research or in applications in the various fields of pure and applied
science. Certain courses are also suitable for students in other areas. See Degrees
and Credentials-General Education Requirements.
Five of the California State Colleges, including Fresno State College, cooperate
in the management of the Moss Landing Marine Laboratories on Monterey Bay,
an establishment which offers regular course work and opportunities for research
which are applicable to graduate and undergraduate programs. Consult the chairmen
of the Mathematics and Biology Departments. See Special Programs-Moss
Landing Marine Laboratories, for course descriptions see Biology Department.
HIGH SCHOOL PREPARATION
Two years of algebra and courses in geometry and trigonometry or a sequence
of mathematics courses containing their equivalents are prerequisite to entry into
either a major or a minor program in mathematics. Such study should be completed
before entrance into college.
DUPLICATION OF COURSES
No credit will be allowed for Math 27, 28, 29, or 30 if their equivalents have been
completed elsewhere, or if taken after completion of Math 71 or 75. No student
transferring credit in calculus will receive more than a total of 12 units of credit
for equivalents of Math 75, 76, and 77.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT CREDIT
Students who earn a composite score of "4" or "5" on the advanced placement
examination in mathematics administered by the College Entrance Examination
Board will be allowed four units of credit for Math 75. A score of "2" or "3" may
receive similar credit, subject to the approval of the department. A score of "1"
will receive neither credit nor advanced placement.
MAIORS
The Mathematics Department offers majors for the bachelor of arts degree
and the bachelor of science degree. The bachelor of arts degree is designed primarily
for those preparing for graduate study or teaching in mathematics. The
bachelor of science degree is intended to prepare those who plan to enter industrial
or other applied areas. Any student planning advanced study is advised to meet
the foreign language requirement of the school he plans to attend.
