Students or advisors who have questions about mathematics placement should contact Prof. Weinstein at 617.731.7184 or weinstej@pmc.edu

Students who are currently enrolled in MA101 – Foundations of Mathematics may register for MA102 – Essential Algebra, MA103 – Geometry and Measurement or any designated Quantitative Reasoning course in order to satisfy the College's Quantitative Reasoning requirement for graduation. 

Students who have completed MA102 may register for MA110 - Precalculus or may elect any Quantitative Reasoning course. Biology students are particularly encouraged to register for MA110, which is a prerequisite for  Calculus and Physics.

The new course MA103 – Geometry and Measurement is particularly designed for students in the Education program.  Here's the course description:

What do snowflakes, a nautilus shell, Monet’s paintings, and your plaid sweater have in common? Geometry! This course includes a study of these and other geometric figures. Emphasis is placed on utilizing intuitive geometric reasoning, visualization techniques, and real-world applications. Students will have the opportunity to engage in the construction of geometric objects. This course fulfills the Pine Manor College quantitative reasoning requirement.

CS 211 – Introduction to MS Excel and CS 212 - Introduction to MS Access are half-semester, seven-week, two-credit courses.  Students do not have to take both courses, but they certainly may, if they choose to.   The prerequisite for each course is CS 100 - Introduction to Computers, or a knowledge of Windows.
