Section CUC A‑G Requirement

Mathematics — 3 years required (4 strongly recommended)

Must cover elementary and advanced algebra and two-/three-dimensional geometry. A geometry course or integrated math with sufficient geometry content is required. A 4th year of math is strongly recommended for STEM fields.

Why This Matters for College Admission

Math is the most heavily weighted subject for STEM admissions. The 4th year (Pre-Calc, Calculus, or Statistics) is expected at competitive UCs and signals college-readiness.

What You'll Learn

Master limits, derivatives, and integrals using the fundamental theorem of calculus

Apply differentiation to optimization, related rates, and motion problems

Evaluate definite and indefinite integrals using substitution and integration by parts

Analyze functions using first/second derivative tests and concavity

Solve differential equations and understand exponential growth models
