The Student Computer Initiative and the Department of Mathematics and Applied Math As mentioned in the Student Computer Initiative specification page, there are some courses that specifically require the PC platform. The courses within the department that have specific requirements include some sections of Math 141, Math 200 & Math 201, and all sections of Math 151. These sections use computer software for instruction and practice that only run in the Microsoft operating system. Additionally, the software used for Math 151, Math 200 and Math 201 specifically require Internet Explorer. Students that decide to purchase a Mac and enroll in a section that requires the PC platform may use the computers in the Math Lab (when available) and room B-8 in the basement of Cabel Library to complete their course work that requires the PC platform. In addition to owning a computer, students are required to obtain a VCU email address and to check their VCU email account on a regular basis for official communications from the University, individual departments and faculty. New students may create their VCU email account online here. |
