Math
All students in the McCombs School of Business are required to have 6 hours of Calculus. The following courses listed below are the Calculus courses taught at UT and the acceptable combinations of Calculus that will fulfill your degree requirement.
Math 408K - Differential Calculus
Introduction to the theory and applications of differential calculus of functions of one variable; topics include limits, continuity, differentiation, and the mean value theorem and its applications. Only 1 of the following may be counted: M 408K, M 408C or M 403K.
prerequisites: a score of at least 520 on the Mathematics Level 1 Test, OR M 305G with a grade of at least 'C'.
Math 408L - Integral Calculus
Discussions of transcendental functions, techniques of integration, and applications of the integral. M 408L and M 403L may not both be counted.
prerequisites: M 408C or M 408K or the equivalent with a grade of at least 'C'.
The following sequence is required for Engineering Route to Business, Economics, and some degrees in the Colleges of Natural Science and Engineering. This calculus sequence allows more flexibility in the choice of future programs.
Math 408C – Differential and Integral Calculus
The emphasis in this course is on problem solving, not on the presentation of theoretical considerations. While the course necessarily includes some discussion of theoretical notions, its primary objective is not the production of theorem-provers. The syllabus for M 408C includes most of the elementary topics in the theory of real-valued functions of a real variable: limits, continuity, derivatives, maxima and minima, integration, area under a curve, volumes of revolution, trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential functions and techniques of integration. Only 1 of the following may be counted: M 408C, M 408K or M 403K .
prerequisites: a score of at least 560 on the Mathematics Level 1 Test, OR M 305G with a grade of at least 'C'.
Students who score less than 600 on the Mathematics Level 1 Test are strongly advised to take M 408K instead.
Math 408D – Differential and Integral Calculus
M 408D contains a treatment of infinite series, and an introduction to vectors and vector calculus in 2-space and 3-space, including parametric equations, partial derivatives, gradients and multiple integrals. Only 1 of the following may be counted: M 408D, M 408M, or M 403L.
prerequisites: M 408C or the equivalent with a grade of at least 'C'.
