MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT CURRICULUM OFFERINGS
PROJECT ACCELERATION	Seton Hall University recognizes the calculus course offered to seniors as the equivalent of one year of calculus at the college level. Eight credits will be granted by Seton Hall to a student who successfully completes the program. Seton Hall also recognizes the PASCAL course offered to those students completing three years of college-required mathematics. Four credits will be granted by Seton Hall to a student who successfully completes the program
INTRODUCTION The program in mathematics is designed to meet the needs of all students. Course offerings for the college-bound are: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Algebra II/Trigonometry, Discrete Math, Pre-Calculus, Computer Science, Calculus, Trigonometry. Course offerings for the non-college bound are General Math I, II, III. The Calculus offered in the senior year to the more able students meets the requirements of the AB Advanced Placement Exam in mathematics. Many colleges give advanced standing to those who do well on this exam. This is also one of the courses in the Project Advancement Program. The Computer Course offerings include the PASCAL language.—
