notes regarding the Computational & Applied MATH major [ effective for students on the Fall 2015 or newer catalog ] The BS Computational & Applied Mathematics degree at Kennesaw State University is technically a new program, but this is in name only; this major is the same as the previous KSU BS Mathematics degree but with a new name (due to the merger) and a few tweaks (due to new courses and updates). This program offers flexibility to complement your CA MATH degree with a minor, take graduate courses with the Masters of Science in Applied Statistics or Masters of Arts in Teaching Secondary Mathematics program, or take MATH and STAT applied or theoretical courses to prepare you to enter into the workforce or to apply for graduate school. Due to the consolidation of Kennesaw State University and Southern Polytechnic State University, in most cases, there are a lot more choices in General Education requirements: Area B1 has an additional option of STS 2105. Area B2 has renumbered COM 1109 to be COM 1100; there is also an additional option of POLS 2401. Area C1 has nine new Literature options: ENGL 2111, 2112, 2120, 2121, 2122, 2130, 2131, 2132, or 2130 Area D now officially has BIOL 1107/L & BIOL 1108/L as acceptable Gen Ed Science courses. Students in the CA MATH program, which is considered a STEM degree, can no longer use CHEM 1151/1152/L, GEOG 1112/1113, or SCI 1101/1102 as options for satisfying the Gen Ed Science requirement. Area E2 has renumbered HIST 1110 to be HIST 1100; there are also two new options of HIST 1111 or 1112. Area E3 now officially has HIST 2111 as an option. Area E4 now officially has ECON 2100 as an option. The HPS 1000 course is renamed as WELL 1000. Area F Lower-Division Major Requirements are a little different: CS 2301 Programming Principles I is renumbered as CS 1301. MATH 2306 Ordinary Differential Equations is the new number for MATH 3310 Intro to Differential Equations. There is no longer an Area F 2000-level elective requirement. Major Requirements are not much different: 1 hour of overflow from MATH 2202 Calculus II was moved here. MATH 3310 was renumbered to MATH 2306 and moved to Area F. MATH 3322 Graph Theory and MATH 3324 Enumerative Combinatorics are redesigned courses from the previous discrete courses offered at both KSU and SPSU. The prereqs for both of these new/redesigned courses are either MATH 2345 Discrete Mathematics or MATH 2390 Intro to Logic, Set Theory, & Proofs. MATH 3332 Probability & Inference has a new name. MATH 4361 Modern Algebra I has a new prereq: MATH 2390 Proofs and MATH 3260 Linear Algebra I. MATH 4381 Real Analysis I now only requires MATH 2390 Proofs. Major Electives have some new options and updates: MATH 3000 Software of Mathematics prereqs are CS 1301 and MATH 2202 Calculus II. MATH 3204 Calculus IV is a new course; the prereq is MATH 2203 Calculus III. MATH 3496 Elementary Number Theory is renumbered from MATH 4717; the prereq is MATH 2390 Proofs. MATH 3696 College Geometry is a new course; the prereq is MATH 2202 Calculus II. MATH 4391 Complex Analysis has a new name. MATH 4596 Topology is a new course; the prereq is MATH 2390 Proofs. STAT 4030 Programming in R prereq is STAT 3010 Computer Applications of Statistics or STAT 3125 Biostatistics. Other updates and changes The Department of Mathematics and the two MATH majors are officially housed on the Marietta campus, while the MATH ED major will be chiefly on the Kennesaw campus. This means it is likely that some MATH classes will frequently only be available on the Marietta campus, so students should be careful about planning their track/minor coursework that may end up being on the Kennesaw campus. There will be a shuttle between the two campuses. KSU policies for Internships, Directed Study, and Undergraduate Research are included.
please note these changes for GEN ED [ starting Fall 2015, unless otherwise stated ] Due to the consolidation of Kennesaw State University and Southern Polytechnic State University, in most cases, there are a lot more choices in General Education requirements: Area B1 Contemporary Social Issues has an additional option of STS 2105 Perspectives in Science and Technology. The automatic substitution of the 3 hour introductory courses of PSYC 1101, SOCI 2201, ANTH 2201, GEOG 1101, and CRJU 1101 in Area B1 to count for one of the 2 hour Contemporary Social Issues 2105 courses are NO longer an option. However, if one of those 3 hour course was successfully completed Spring 2015 or earlier, it may be used if you were enrolled at KSU Spring 2015 or earlier. New students to KSU who start Summer 2015 or later should adhere to this new policy. Transfer students starting in Summer 2015 or later are not allowed to use the 3 hour course to meet Gen Ed requirements UNLESS they are transferring in from a USG institution that includes the 3 hour course in another area of Gen Ed. This means students starting at KSU in Summer 2015 or later need to take one two hour course from the following options in Area B1: ANTH 2105, CRJU 2105, GEOG 2105, PSYC 2105, SOCI 2105, or STS 2105. Area B2 Cultural Perspectives has renumbered COM 1109 to be COM 1100 Human Communication; there is also an additional option of POLS 2401 Global Issues. The automatic substitution of the 3 hour COM 2129 Public Speaking course in Area B2 to count for the 3 hour COM 1109 Human Communication are no longer an option. However, if you successfully complete it Spring 2015 or earlier, it may be used if you were enrolled at KSU Spring 2015 or earlier. New students to KSU who start Summer 2015 and Fall 2015 should adhere to this new policy. Area C1 Literature of the World has nine new Literature options: ENGL 2110 World Literature, ENGL 2111 Early World Literature, ENGL 2112 World Literature mid 1600s to Present, ENGL 2120 British Literature, ENGL 2121 Early British Literature, ENGL 2122 British Literature late 1700s to Present, ENGL 2130 American Literature, ENGL 2131 Early American Literature, ENGL 2132 American Literature mid 1800s to Present, or ENGL 2300 African- American Literature. Area D Science, Math, and Technology now officially has BIOL 1107/L & BIOL 1108/L Biological Principles I & II as acceptable Gen Ed Science courses. Students who start at KSU in Fall 2015 or later and who are Mathematics, Computational & Applied Mathematics, or Mathematics Education majors, which are considered STEM programs, can no longer use CHEM 1151/1152/L Survey of Chemistry I & II, GEOG 1112/1113 Weather & Climate/Intro to Landforms, or SCI 1101/1102 Science, Society, and the Environment I & II as options for satisfying the Gen Ed Science requirement. This means that STEM majors who start at KSU in Fall 2015 or later have to choose from BIOL 1107/L & BIOL 1108/L Biological Principles I & II, CHEM 1211/L & CHEM 1212/L General Chemistry I & II, PHYS 1111/L & PHYS 1112/L Introductory Physics I & II (trig-based), or PHYS 2211/L & PHYS 2212/L Principles of Physics I & II (calc-based). Area E2 World History has renumbered HIST 1110 to be HIST 1100 Introduction to World History; there are also two new options of HIST 1111 Pre-Modern World History or HIST 1112 Modern World History. Area E3 U.S. History now officially has HIST 2111 United States History to 1877 and HIST 2112 United States History Since 1877 as options. Area E4 Economics now officially has ECON 1100 Global Economics and ECON 2100 Principles of Microeconomics as options. If students are at all interested in pursuing a minor or dual-degree for any of the programs within the Coles College of Business, they should take ECON 2100, as it will be a prereq for some courses in those programs. The Institutional requirement of HPS 1000 course is renamed as WELL 1000 Foundations for Healthy Living. However, students with majors in the Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology, the College of Architecture and Construction Management, or the College of Computing and Software Engineering (see attached) will NOT have an HPS/WELL 1000 graduation requirement. Mathematics, Computational & Applied Mathematics, or Mathematics Education majors will have to take HPS/WELL 1000.
