The mathematical capability is critical especially for the science and engineering major students to be successful in their academic life in a university. However, there has been recently marked decline in the mathematical ability of the students majoring in the science and engineering in a university.
In order to propose the methods to improve their ability in a college level of mathematics, we have investigated and analyzed the mathematical ability of the freshmen in calculus classes whose major are the science and engineering in Kyung Hee University, corresponding to the university entrance examination and curriculums of the middle and high school.
Calculus is one of required classes for the freshmen in the science and engineering major and also one of the most important classes in mathematics.
Therefore, we hope that these assessment in their mathematical ability focused on calculus can suggest a helpful insight for the improvement of general mathematical ability in the science and engineering majors.
