<p>As some of you are familiar with, medical schools often deign it necessary to take one or two semesters of math. Usually one of these is required to be a calculus course. Does, say, Math 54 (Linear Algebra & Differential Equations) or Math 55 (Discrete Mathematics) count as a calculus course? And courses like CS 70 (Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science) - do they count as math courses at all? Or does this vary from school to school?</p>
<p>i kno that 53 and 54 count…but i doubt 55 counts as a calculus course because it has nothing to do with calculus</p>
<p>You’ll have to check each medical school to be sure which courses count for math requirements, if any (they are not all the same, and can range from nothing to calculus or calculus + statistics, with different variations on whether AP credit is accepted for math).</p>
<p>So individual schools would have varying definitions of what qualifies as a math course… correct? And mjmay7: are you sure that 54 counts as a calculus course?</p>
<p>yes i know individuals who have used it before. Also, differential equations is calculus based lol</p>
<p>Do you know if a math(ematical) course in a non-math department, e.g. CS 70, has been accepted as a semester of math?</p>
<p>well that all depends upon if they want two semesters of “math” or 2 semesters of calculus</p>
<p>54 = linear algebra + diff’t eqxs.</p>
<p>Just a semester of math - a course like CS 70 is by no means calculus.</p>

<p>I still have not received any responses from schools, so I am passing the time by bumping - have any of you heard of math courses in non-math departments like, as mentioned, CS 70 (Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science), counting for a semester of math in context of med school?</p>
