Math 115 – Calculus and Probability Business Majors (3 credits)

Description:  Introductory topics in differential calculus and probability, with particular emphasis on understanding the principal concepts and their applications to business. Graphing calculators will be used as tools for further understanding these concepts. Examinations are proctored. Except as per University policy on repeating a course, credit will not be given for this course if the student has credit in a higher level math course. Such students may be dropped from the course.  ​

Placement Level: ALEKS PPL score of 60-100% , SAT I MSS 640-800, ACT MATH 26-36, or U of A Math 112 (grade of C or higher) required for placement into this course.  Test scores expire after two years. SAT/ACT placement is generally for first year students only.  Students cannot place into this course through the Math 100 final. 

If my scores are lower than the Placement Level: Math 100, then Math 112 (grade of C or higher) (and MIS 111/BE 120), then Math 116.  

Transfer math prerequisites must be less than 2 years old to place a student into Math 116. 

Math 120R and Math 108 (C or higher) are also prerequisites to Math 115.

Comments: This course is for all majors within Eller College and a few other majors. Consult your advisor before enrolling.  Because this course is a survey of calculus with probability for business related majors, it cannot be used to satisfy the Math 122B/125 requirement and cannot be used as a prerequisite to additional calculus courses such as Math 122A, 122B, 125, or 129. Students who need Calculus I should take Math 120R, then 122A/B instead. Generally available in Spring .
