1. What are the science and engineering majors with low mathematics requirements?
All science and engineering majors require students to have a certain mathematical foundation, and only a few majors have low requirements for mathematics, mainly focusing on chemistry, geography, some marine sciences and biology, namely:
Inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, polymer chemistry and biology, physical geography, human geography, marine chemistry, marine biology, botany, zoology, physiology, aquatic biology, microbiology, neurobiology, genetics, developmental biology, cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology, ecology, history of science and technology.
Take chemistry as an example. Compared with Advanced Mathematics A, the students in this major are less difficult to learn, but they still need to continue to master mathematical knowledge in order to easily analyze and deduce the formulas and theorems needed by this major.
Second, are there any science and engineering majors who don't take math exams?
A: No. There are two reasons:
First, advanced mathematics is one of the compulsory courses for science and engineering majors.
Basically, all science and engineering majors need students to study advanced mathematics, and there is a unified exam at the end of the term. In addition, non-science majors in some universities inevitably need to study advanced mathematics. For example, the management, finance and even Chinese language and literature of Hunan Normal University need to learn advanced mathematics. So they also need to pass the advanced mathematics exam to get the corresponding credits.
Therefore, it is impossible to have a science and engineering major that does not test mathematics.
Second, mathematics is of great significance to learning science and engineering majors.
For students majoring in science and engineering, mathematics is of great significance, which makes them have to study mathematics and take math exams.
A scholar once said that good mathematical literacy will leave a deep impression on students' scientific research ability, style and pursuit throughout their lives. Mathematics is the core and foundation of science and engineering specialty. Without mathematical theory and calculation, students can only make qualitative analysis, not quantitative calculation, and naturally they can't do theoretical research and engineering application. Learning mathematics can not only lay a knowledge foundation for specialized courses, but also improve students' creative thinking and lay a foundation for future scientific research.
Although students can choose science and engineering majors with low requirements for mathematics, they can't avoid studying mathematics. Mathematics is of great significance to science and engineering majors. If students have a general foundation in mathematics, they need to master the methods of mathematics learning in the later learning process to lay a good foundation for their professional study.
