Mathematics (MATH) K. Acks, A. Amirislani, S. Bowe, E. Pultar, T. Evangelista, D. Harbin Many mathematics courses are offered in an open lab setting where students study individually under the general guidance of the instructor and tutors. Courses numbered below 100 do not count toward the AA degree. To progress to more advanced mathematics courses, students should have grade C or better in prerequisite courses. The prerequisite course is most beneficial when completed during the prior 12 months. Math placement testing is required of all students who are taking mathematics at UH Maui College. Math placement test results are valid for two years. (For more info, see English and Math Placement section, or the Math Routes for Specific Majors chart.) 75
