Math 1: Precalculus |
The purpose of Math 1 is to give students a strong preparation for taking calculus. Students completing Math 1 are expected to continue in Math 3A or Math 31A. Math 1 does not satisfy the quantitative reasoning requirement for the College of Letters and Science. Math 1 covers material that is ordinarily addressed in the high school curriculum. However, this material is not required for admission to the University of California, and for this reason the course is offered for credit at UCLA. In order to enroll in Math 1, students should have a good background in intermediate algebra. Before enrolling in Math 1, students must take and pass the Mathematics Diagnostic Test at the specified minimum performance level. Students who are unsure of their algebra skills might prepare for Math 1 by taking an intermediate algebra course at their local community college, or by taking the course Intermediate Algebra X400A at Univers ity Extension. Students who obtain the grade of C- or better at UCLA in Math 1 may enroll directly in Math 3A or Math 31A without taking the Mathematics Diagnostic Test. |
