UNIVERSITY PREP COURSES (NON-CREDIT)

There are several reasons that students take these courses. Some have been out of school for a while and need a refresher course. Others want to increase their understanding and confidence before tackling statistics or calculus. Others don't have the formal prerequisites necessary to be allowed entry into the credit course they need.

THE X0 SECTION OF MATH 1013 (CALCULUS)

This section is offered to accommodate people who have been out of school for a while, or for people who find the pace of the regular calculus section too fast.

Calculus with Review

In the first term, students review Precalculus topics. The calculus topics are taught in the second term.

The course is scheduled in Slot 5, which is Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12.30pm - 1:20pm. The studio is on Thursday from 4.30pm - 6:00pm.
