I failed that course with a D and had to take it last minute in the spring (its prereq for a lot) - and 2nd time barely pulled a C+. Very hard, depending on the prof.

CPSC 413 is worse tho.

There ARE different math people. I've seen good 271 students fail miserably in 311. And 413 had something like 150 students. 513 (the sequel) had about 8.

Is 271 required for any majors other than cpsc?

I think that the only other major that 271 is required for is a BSc in pure mathematics.

Fortunately (for people like me who aren't good at math) the only required math course I had to take for the Finance/Economics joint degree I'm pursuing was 249.

I took a class similar to that at DeCrap (DeVry) but it was pretty easy....it's DeVry...it's a joke.

no, 271 isn't required for pure math majors. The only requirement it's for is software engineers and computer science.

It's a good recommendation to take 271 if your doing any math major though

well he said 50% of the questions were from textbook, quizzes or assignments

For all you guys taking math 271, I recommend, you guys take it during summer with dinh. From my experience, and from what I've heard, he seems to be WAAAYYY more slack during summer.

math 271 was so much easier at mrc.
i took it once at uofc, got a d+ on that working my ass off, then somebody told me that mrc has that class too, so i took it there and got a b- and didn't lift a finger.
