Had three years of high school math

If you completed these courses in high school (or elsewhere) but did not take trigonometry or precalculus you will probably want to start off with Elementary Functions (MTH 102) at Smith. If you feel you might not need it, try the self-placement quiz which is available from the mathematics department. MTH 102 will prepare you for Calculus I (MTH 111) which in turn is a requirement for many other math courses. You may also start with Discovering Mathematics (MTH 105), or Statistical Thinking (MTH 107).
