Mathematics and Related Courses

at the

College of the Atlantic

"Quantitative Reasoning" is one of the graduation requirements. This means that before you graduate you need to take at least one course that is designated QR. There are many options. All math classes are QR courses, and many science classes also meet this requirement. You are strongly encouraged to meet the QR requirement before your third year.

If you have questions about what course(s) are best for you, please talk to your advisers and/or come and see me (Dave Feldman).

Lots of information about quantitative reasoning courses can be found at
