Motion Passed by Curriculum Committee : Core Math Requirements

The committee passed the following motion, which is now open to your comment and review:

Recommend math sequence, Math 1321 (Trigonometry) and Phil 2310 (Formal Logic) or Math 1550 (Pre-Calculus) and Phil 2310 (Formal Logic).

Justification for this is three-fold:
a) Analytic Geometry, which was our highest level math course required is no longer offered in the Math Department, so a reconsideration was required.
b) Committee members felt that Calculus 1 was too much to ask but Trig was not advanced enough.
c) Logic is a core math course and delivers critical reasoning, simple functions, and an introduction to simple parameters of programming and scripting that is a growing concern in architectural practice..

Your questions, concerns, and affirmations are welcome as comments to this post or you can talk to any one of the curriculum committee members present for this motion: Kuhn Park, Kentaro Tsubaki, Patricia Perkins, Michael Peters, Saif Haq, or myself.

This motion will be considered for implementation by the Dean's Council on Tuesday, February 16th. I will take any comments and questions raised by you to the Dean's Council and will present them with the motion for deliberation.
