Mathematics

UT Austin offers developmental math courses as either a one-semester review or a two-semester sequence. A student must earn a passing grade in each required developmental math course to complete the TSI requirements.

Developmental Mathematics I: DEV 301M (fall semester)
The first of a two-course sequence combines arithmetic skills with beginning algebra. The arithmetic content includes operations with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals, ratio and proportions and percent. The algebra content focuses on variables, straight-line graphs, setting up and solving word problems, and relating simple algebraic concepts to geometry.

Developmental Mathematics II: DEV 302M (spring semester)
The second of a two-course sequence includes solving linear equations, solving systems of equations, integers, exponents and scientific notation, factoring polynomials, rational expressions and equations, radical expressions, and more geometric problems.

Basic Math and Algebra Skills Review: DEV 303M
This review course is designed for students who want the structure of a classroom setting and who do not need extensive remediation. The course focuses on reviewing the types of problems found on the mathematics portion of the THEA test, as well as test-taking strategies and skills.

Restricted Courses

Due to the sequential nature of mathematics, students may not enroll in any college-level math course until they have completed their TSI math requirement.
