First-year courses in mathematics attempt to prepare students for study in many areas as well as for further study in mathematics and statistics. First-year mathematics courses at Grenfell fall into two streams: Mathematics 1052 and 1053 a non-calculus stream for students who neither require nor wish to study calculus; and Mathematics 109A/B, 1090, 1000 and 1001, courses in a calculus stream designed to prepare students for the study of sciences and further mathematics.
The appropriate first-semester course in mathematics will depend on:
- intended degree program
- background in mathematics
- campus attended
- MPT score
The
Mathematics Placement Test (MPT) and the
Calculus Placement Test (CPT) may be written only once. The MPT and CPT will be offered in June at multiple sites in Newfoundland and Labrador. At Grenfell Campus the MPT and CPT will also be administered on the day before classes begin for Fall semester and on the first day of classes in Winter semester.
The use of a calculator is not permitted on the MPT
