Math Course Selection And Advice - Boston College
math Course Selection and advice ABOUT ADVANCED PLACEMENT All questions regarding the recording of AP credit in math must be resolved by Boston College
http://www.bc.edu/schools/cas/math/advise/ap/

Extractions: ABOUT ADVANCED PLACEMENT In May of each year, the College Board administers Advanced Placement tests in Calculus at two different levels: The Calculus AB Advanced Placement Examination covers the topics of differential and integral Calculus. The Calculus BC Advanced Placement Examination includes the topics of the AB Advanced Placement Examination as well as additional material on infinite series. Only results from these two exams affect whether a student may or may not be exempted from the University Core Curriculum Requirement in Mathematics, and what (if any) mathematics corequisites may be omitted in a student's major program. In particular, note that results achieved in the Statistics AP Placement Examination have no impact with regards to mathematics requirements. AP Credit in Math at Boston College

http://www.math.kent.edu/grad/new/adv-post-ugrads.html

Extractions: for Post Undergrads Applying for Financial Aid ... Home Students who have not met most of our Admission Requirements should generally not waste their time and money applying to our graduate program, only to be rejected. Instead, we recommend that those students take the minimal required courses, and then apply when they have met all (or perhaps all but one) of the requirements. One way to meet these requirements is to apply to Kent State as a Post-undergraduate Student , take those courses (and possibly their prerequisite courses as well), and then apply for admission to the Master's program during the semester when the last courses are being taken. A Post-Undergraduate Application form can be obtained through the Office of Admissions. (Post-undergraduate students should also see Choosing an Advisor and Applying for Financial Aid All of the basic mathematics courses that are required, MATH 41001/41002 (Abstract Algebra) MATH 41021 (Matrix Theory) and MATH 42001/42002 (Mathematical Analysis) have the calculus sequence as a prerequisite. In order to satisfy the minimum requirements for admission to the program, these five courses might be attended over the course of three semesters as follows:

Extractions: Advising and Advice Advising. Usually, a student prepares a long-range plan and declares a first major in mathematics through the Premajor Advising Center; the student is then assigned an official faculty advisor by the Director of Undergraduate Studies. First majors are required to meet with their advisors each semester during the registration interval. The student and advisor should work together to ensure that the program of study is consistent with the student's interests and professional goals. A student who has declared a second major or a minor in mathematics will receive formal advising in the department of his or her first major; however second majors and minors and students considering a degree in mathematics may see the Director of Undergraduate Studies for advice or for referral to an appropriate member of the mathematics faculty. A second major or a minor in mathematics (or a change of major or minor) may be declared in the Office of the Registrar. Choosing courses. Every mathematics major must take one course in abstract algebra (Mathematics 121 or Mathematics 200) and one course in advanced calculus (Mathematics 139 or Mathematics 203). To avoid conflicts during the final semesters of a major's program, these courses should be taken as early as practicable. An essential part of these courses is proving mathematical theorems. Students with little exposure to proofs should probably take the 100-level version of these courses, possibly prefacing them with Mathematics 120S (see paragraph below). Students who are comfortable with abstract ideas, and especially those students who are contemplating graduate work in mathematics, should consider taking the 200-level courses. The remaining courses may be chosen from both pure and applied areas of mathematics.

http://my.nctm.org/eresources/mt/teachers_mt.asp

Extractions: Those Who Can Teach, Can Write Dan Kennedy, Baylor School, Chattanooga, TN There are people in this world who write for a living. Like teachers, they put in long hours for low pay and too little recognition. Although some writers do manage to achieve wealth and fame, most are simply motivated to use their special gifts to inspire, to inform, and, in no small measure, to entertain. These are not the people who write articles for the Mathematics Teacher The people who write articles for the Mathematics Teacher are mathematics teachers. They are not professional writers, but like professional writers, they succeed in their craft to the extent that they can inspire, inform, and entertain. The average mathematics teacher might not feel like a writer, but a writer at the desk and a teacher in the classroom do have those same three goals in mind. For this reason alone, many more teachers should be eager to radiate their affection for mathematics through the time-honored medium of the written word. Our professional journal would be stronger for their input, and our profession could certainly benefit from the radiation.

The most obvious of these are the well established niches for statisticians such as the pharmaceutical industry, governmental agencies that measure and report data, etc. However, the purview of statistics is expanding more rapidly than ever. In recent years strong connections have been forged between statistics and finance and various branches of engineering and computer science such as machine learning, speech recognition, computer vision, data mining, neural networks and expert systems. in addition, the connection to medicine through statistical genetics represents what might be one of the most important contributions of Statistics in the next century. For these reasons, a modicum of training in statistics can serve as springboard to many different career endeavors. We offer several different suggestions for students depending on the emphasis they expect to place on statistics.

Tips For Authors

http://www.jmilne.org/math/tips.html

Extractions: If you write clearly, then your readers may understand your mathematics and conclude that it isn't profound. Worse, a referee may find your errors. Here are some tips for avoiding these awful possibilities. Never explain why you need all those weird conditions, or what they mean. For example, simply begin your paper with two pages of notations and conditions without explaining that they mean that the varieties you are considering have zero-dimensional boundary. In fact, never explain what you are doing, or why you are doing it. The best-written paper is one in which the reader will not discover what you have proved until he has read the whole paper, if then. Notes Refer to another obscure paper for all the basic (nonstandard) definitions you use, or never explain them at all. This almost guarantees that no one will understand what you are talking about (and makes it easier to use the next tip). In particular, never explain your sign conventions - if you do, someone may be able to prove that your signs are wrong. Notes When having difficulties proving a theorem, try the method of "variation of definition"-this involves implicitly using more that one definition for a term in the course of a single proof.

Extractions: The Future? Planning Your Future in Mathematics Choosing a career is a very important decision. Taking all the mathematics and science you can is a smart choice, because training in those areas opens doors to many exciting career options. Talk to your parents, teachers, and guidance counselors about the kinds of opportunities mathematics can bring. Your school may sponsor mathematics contests, which can be a fun way to work on challenging problems, or you can try entering a mathematics project in a science fair. If competition isn't to your taste, go to the library and find books on mathematics (see Suggested Reading below). Join your school mathematics club, or ask your teachers or counselors about extracurricular mathematics programs that may be available in your community. As this booklet shows, a wide variety of career opportunities is available to those with degrees in mathematics at the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels. A bachelor's degree generally requires four or five years of study. To earn a master's degree, you need to study for two to three years beyond the bachelor's degree and, for a doctorate, five to seven years beyond the bachelor's degree. Keeping Your Options Open Even if you do not choose a career in the mathematical sciences, studying as much mathematics as you can is a good way to keep your options open. Mathematics is an excellent foundation for, and is usually a prerequisite to, study in all areas of science and engineering. Students in such areas as anthropology, sociology, and psychology, as well as law, business, and medicine, also benefit from a solid background in mathematics and statistics. In addition, mathematical training will help you to better understand science and technology and their effects on our world.
