STUDENTS’ GUIDE TO CALCULUS OFFERINGS AT BUCKNELL
Overview. Bucknell offers two essentially different introductory calculus courses, both of which
presuppose a high school course in pre-calculus. MATH 192 is a terminal course designed for
students in the social sciences; MATH 201 (or MATH 205-see below) is the first course in the
core calculus sequence for mathematics, science, and engineering students. Either course qualifies
as a non-laboratory science satisfying the Disciplinary Breadth requirement of the College of Arts
and Sciences’ Common Learning Agenda. (Recommended ways to satisfy this requirement with a
mathematics course other than calculus include MATH 111 and MATH 216, which do not require a
high school background in pre-calculus.)
Calculus for the Social Sciences. MATH 192 (Topics in Calculus) is a one-semester terminal
calculus course, offered second semester only. It satisfies the minimum calculus requirement for
economics majors and for BSBA students, but is not a good choice for students hoping to enter
graduate programs in economics. These students, and other mathematically strong students, are
encouraged to replace MATH 192 with MATH 201, thereby enabling them to continue the calculus
sequence…
