Students who want to enroll in MATH 95, 105–7, 111, 112, 211, 241, or 251 must take a placement examination unless they have completed the appropriate prerequisite course at this university.

Upper-division and graduate mathcourses offered during summer session differ from those offered fall through spring terms. More information is available from Wendy Sullivan, Department of Mathematics, 1222 University of Oregon, Eugene OR 97403-1222; call (541) 346-4705; e­mail sullivan@math.uoregon.edu.

Sections of MATH 105, 106; MATH 211, 212, 213; and MATH 241, 242, 243 are offered in an intensive learning format. These sections meet two hours every weekday for four weeks and make it possible for a -student to complete the mathematics requirement for the bachelor of science or Lundquist College of Business in one summer session.

Sections of MATH 111 and 243 are -offered in the evening for students who cannot attend classes during the day.
