Distribution Category (MQR-AS)

Comments Designed for students who wish to master the basic techniques of multivariable calculus, but whose major will not require a substantial amount of mathematics. Students who plan to major or minor in mathematics or take upper-level math courses should take MATH 1920, MATH 2220, or MATH 2240 rather than MATH 2130.
