Math 116 – Calculus Concepts for Business Majors (3 credits)

This course is offered for Arizona Online students.  Main campus students may no longer be able to enroll in Math 116. 

Description:  Introductory topics in differential and integral calculus: particular emphasis on understanding the principal concepts and their applications to business. Graphing calculators are used for further understanding these concepts.

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.  Students must also complete MIS 111 before enrolling.

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 116 (and MIS 111/BE 120).

Comments: This course is for all majors within Eller College and a few in  CALES.  Because this course is a survey of calculus 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 as students must also have completed MIS 111 or ABE 120 to be eligible.
