Academic Auch wenn CMSC250 dich von der Anforderung für MATH310 befreit, empfehle ich dir dringend, MATH310 zu belegen, falls du an der UMD ein Nebenfach oder Hauptfach in Mathematik anstrebst.
Du falls Mathematik und Informatik als Doppelstudium (oder als Haupt- und Nebenfach) belegst, weißt du wahrscheinlich, dass du von der MATH310-Anforderung befreit bist, sofern du CMSC250 mit der Note B oder besser abschließt. CMSC250 („Diskrete Strukturen“) deckt die Anforderungen von MATH310 („Mathematische Beweisführung“) ab. Dennoch rate ich dir sehr dazu, MATH310 zu belegen – vor allem, wenn du planst, weiterführende Mathematikkurse zu besuchen.
Ich selbst habe an der UMD Informatik im Hauptfach und Mathematik im Nebenfach studiert. Obwohl ich CMSC250 mit einer A+ abgeschlossen hatte – was mich von der MATH310-Anforderung befreite –, entschied ich mich dennoch für MATH310, um die notwendigen Fähigkeiten und Erfahrungen im Umgang mit formalen mathematischen Beweisen zu erlangen. Rückblickend bin ich sehr froh, dass ich MATH310 belegt habe. CMSC250 und MATH310 sind sehr unterschiedliche Kurse; MATH310 vermittelt ein Maß an mathematischer Strenge, das in CMSC250 schlichtweg fehlt. Das liegt unter anderem daran, dass CMSC250 darauf ausgelegt ist, dich auf anspruchsvolle Informatikkurse vorzubereiten, während MATH310 entscheidend ist, um die mathematische Wissensgrundlage für die Konstruktion formaler mathematischer Beweise zu schaffen. Während es in CMSC250 eher um Logikgatter und Computerschaltkreise geht, befasst sich MATH310 mit den strengen Grundlagen, die den eigentlichen Kern der Mathematik ausmachen.

Help Need Parking Advice for a visitor at UMD
I am coming to UMD to visit my friend from Wednesday evening (arrival ~6) to Sunday (departure ~1-2). They live in Terrapin Row. I know parking here can be especially tricky/expensive, but I am looking for any alternatives to paying $20/day for the nights of Wednesday-Friday. Preferably, I would want to keep my car parked for most, if not the whole duration of my stay. Last time I came to visit, I parked on the street next to Terrapin Row and then in Mowatt for the last night, since it was free at the U2 level.
Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Admissions Graduated in 2018. Looking to come back for a degree in different field. Any suggestions as what that could look like?
Hey everyone! I graduated from UMD CMNS in 2018. I originally planned to go straight into a doctoral program. Unfortunately, life ended up kicking my ass a bit in my senior year with multiple family deaths in the span of a few months. I hit a brick wall emotionally and mentally in my last two semesters. I pulled myself together just enough to finish my degree on time. However, I lost all love for the field and had no desire to do research in it. Ironically, DOGE cuts have seriously gutted that field in the last year or so. So who knows what kind of position I'd be in if I followed my original plan?
Since then, I've spent the last 7-8 years in a dead-end job completely unrelated to my degree. I'm desperate for a change and want to go back to school. Right now, I'm narrowing it down to two fields, one of which is civil engineering.
I strongly considered civil engineering in high school while preparing for college apps. I ended up choosing my CMNS major instead, which I low-key regret now that I'm 30.
My degree required three semesters of physics, three semesters of calculus, and one semester of differential equations, which overlapped with a lot of the engineering requirements. The problem is that I've been so far removed from this kind of work that it feels like starting from scratch.
Any suggestions on what to expect when reapplying to UMD? I'm almost 100% certain I'll need to start with another bachelor's degree in CE to shore up the fundamentals and pivot to engineering rather than going straight into a master's program. My concern is whether any of my original degree credits (such as Gen-Eds and STEM credits) will transfer to a new bachelor's degree.
EDIT: I spoke with the Student Success Office. They found me in the system and told me I can return to the school for another bachelor's degree with a 15-minute application process. All of my old credits still count towards my new degree of choice. They also talked me through getting into my chosen engineering program. I've reached out to an advisor in my desired department to discuss the pros and cons of going straight for a master's or returning as an undergrad.

Help UMD app to help make making friends easier.
This is a personal project I started working on over the summer. As a transfer student, it was hard and intimidating to make friends and talk to people in class, so this idea came about. I figure it could be useful to new students or anyone just looking to meet people or to just get out more. I put some pictures of what the app looks like, feel free to share it around and try it out!

Help UMD Students are lobbying congress on the climate crisis at end of the academic year. Need your help to clear the 300 petition threshold to make any real diff.
Just as the title says. This petition comes from UMD Climate Action Campaign, a student organization with national non-profit backing. We are planning on meeting with federal and state legislators and electeds at the end of the semester. Previous efforts have told us that if we don't have at least 250 petition signatures (.5% of our undergrad population), that we will not be taken seriously. We're bumping that to 300 in case of any bad signatures. Please sign if you would like to help us push for federal action against the climate crisis!
News Cornerstone Grill & Loft facing 90-day liquor license suspension before Halloween
Cornerstone Grill & Loft may not serve alcohol for 90 days beginning Friday — the day before Halloween — after the Prince George’s County Board of License Commissioners suspended its liquor license last week.
The establishment will also be required to pay a $7,500 fine along with the suspension, according to a Monday email from Terence Sheppard, the board’s director. The board suspended the license after finding the establishment had presented a “Threat to the Peace and Safety,” based on video evidence and testimony from four University of Maryland police officers.
Cornerstone’s attorney has asked the board to temporarily pause the decision for 90 days, allowing the establishment time to appeal the charges and file a petition for judicial review, according to Sheppard. The board will hold a meeting on Tuesday, where it will consider the restaurant and bar’s request. But Sheppard noted this request only delays punishment and is separate from the board’s underlying decision.
Cornerstone owner Mark Srour declined to comment on Monday amid the ongoing board proceedings.
The board may suspend a liquor license for “the commission of any act by the licensee, his/her agents or employees that constitutes a danger to the peace and safety of the neighborhood,” according to county regulations. The board first addressed the charges during meetings on Sept. 9 and again on Oct. 14, according to county documents.

Academic Public Health Practice Internship
Hi,
I am the boyfriend of a current undergrad PHP student and current med school applicant. I just came on here to apologize and state it is stupid as hell that you guys have to secure a FORTY (40) hour a week internship just to GRADUATE, knowing how difficult the job market/internship market is for undergrads right now.
Then if they secure an internship, and it’s only 20hours a week (like MOST public health internships are) they have to secure ANOTHER for 40 hours a week.
This is the supuesto degree requirement ever and I hate seeing all you guys struggle with it.

News I built a free app to make sharing schedules and locations with friends easier!
Hi everyone!
I'm an HCI master's student, and I recently launched an app called Mingle!
As someone from South Korea, I found it challenging to meet new people from different departments and connect with students outside my usual circle. I also got tired of constantly asking my friends about their schedules just to figure out when we could hang out.
With Mingle, you can:
- 📅 Share your schedules with friends
- 📍 Share your location with friends
- 💬 Connect with friends and use the community board
The app is completely free to use! I'm still working on improving it, and I plan to add more features in the future.
I'd really appreciate it if you gave it a try and shared any feedback, bugs, or suggestions. I'm especially interested in hearing what works, what doesn't, and what features you'd like to see!

Admissions UMD Engineering Chances
I want to go to UMD for aerospace engineering and I want to know my chances.
I have a 102.26 weighted gpa(Don’t know what it is on a 4 point scale if someone knows how to convert to 4 point scale that would be awesome) 96-97ish unweighted.
11 total ap classes 7 before senior year
Calc AB(5), Precalc(5), Lang(4), Physics C(3), Seminar(3), APUSH(4), Comp Science Principles(4) all before senior year. Taking AP Bio, Research, Human Geo, and Calc BC senior year.
School wide math award, stem diploma endorsement, ap scholar with distinction, ap capstone(in progress will have at end of year), and all academic for my athletic conference.
ECs I have been varsity XC for 4 years captain for one, frisbee varsity all 4 years and captain for 3 with a state championship, math team for 4 years captain for 3, NHS, various jobs, and volunteering at a frisbee camp one year.
All As except honors English freshmen year(92) and AP physics c(88) junior year
I got a 97 on calc ab and have a 100 in Calc bc right now
I do very well in my math classes but I am worried my lowest grade is in ap physics C (88) the class is very hard and that was around the average for my class but it still is a red flag. I am getting a rec letter from my physics teacher though.
I am out of state(Maine) and I am applying test optional for SAT and only submitting 4s and 5s for aps
What do you think my chances are for aerospace and be honest. Thanks!

Discussion I have a question!
I just got back from a walk through umd campus, obviously there was a lot of people and I’ve noticed something. Whenever I’m walking towards a female and I maintain eye contact they avoid looking at me but when I’m not looking at them and then I look at them I catch them looking at me. I’m a 22 year old single male, sometimes the females I see are attractive but I have this issue of them not making eye contact but when I’m not looking at them and I take a glance at them I catch them looking. Does this happen to anyone else or am I the only one experiencing this?
