1.In Fall 2008 the Math Department will offer two new and very interesting courses:    Math 382/382L (2 + 1 units), Introduction to Scientific Computing, and Math    396F/396FL (2 + 1 units), Mathematics for 3D Graphics.

.  The prerequisite for Math 382/382L is: Math 262.

. The prerequisites for Math 396F/396FL are: Math 250 and either CS 110/110L or CS     106/106L.

.  It is recommended but not required that students take Math 382/382L and    396F/396FL concurrently.

. Math 382/382L and Math 396F/396FL are scheduled as follows:

   Math 382 (Lecture, 2 units): T 14:00 - 15:50 JR 202;
   Math 382L (Lab, 1 unit): R 14:00 - 15:50 JR 254;
   Students are required to enroll in both the lecture and the lab.


   Math 396F (Lecture, 2 units): T 17:30 - 19:20 JR 202;
   Math 396FL (Lab, 1 unit): R 17:30 - 19:20 JR 254;
   Students are required to enroll in both the lecture and the lab.

.  Students who need either Math 150AL or Math 150BL to graduate are encouraged to    consider enrolling in Math 382/382L instead. In this case, you will get credit for Math    382/382L as a 3 unit math elective AND IN ADDITION the Math Department will WAIVE    your Math 150AL/BL requirement.

. Please discuss Math 382/382L and Math 396F/396FL with your advisor.

2. Math 380, Introduction to Applied Mathematics, is being phased out. The LAST TIME Math 380 will be offered is Spring 2009. If you need this class for your option, please make sure to discuss it with your advisor and plan to take this course in Spring 2009. Prerequisite: Math 250.

3. Math 150AL/BL, Calculus Computer Labs, are being phased out. The LAST TIME these courses will be offered is Spring 2009. If you need either one of these courses to graduate, please make sure to discuss it with your advisor and plan to take the appropriate class in Spring 2009. Prerequisites: Math 150A and Math 150B, respectively. See Announcement 1 above for the possibility of having 150AL/BL waived for you by the Math Department.

4. Math 441, Applied Statistics II, will be offered in Spring 2009. The prerequisite for Math 441 is: Math 341, Applied Statistics I, which is offered in Fall 2008. If you intend to use Math 441 as a math elective please make sure to discuss it with your advisor and plan to take the 341/441 sequence starting in Fall 2008. It is important to note that Math 441 is offered ONLY once a year, and hence if you don't take this class in a timely manner your graduation may be delayed.

5. In Spring 2009 the Math Department will offer another new course: Math 496FL (3 units). The prerequisites for this course are: Math 382L or Math 481A or ME 309 (Math 396FL is suggested but not required).
