Abstract
An expert system was developed to use standardized tests (SATs, ACTs, Achievement Tests, Advanced Placement scores) and high school transcripts to place incoming students in Mathematics classes (Precalculus, Calculus I or II, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations). The system, based on about 70 rules, automates a process done previously by faculty, clarifies rules and informal practices, and allows letters, tailored to placement data and conclusions, to be sent to all incoming students and their advisors. The system also was extended easily to place students in Computer Science classes (Problem Solving and Computing, CS1, CS2). Results compared favorably with placement made by faculty.
