NU Third Year Mathematics GPA Calculator — Degree (Pass Course) (2013-2014)

This is the Third Year calculator for Mathematics under the Degree (Pass Course) (2013-2014) syllabus at National University Bangladesh. It covers 3 courses worth 12 credit hours — 43% of the 28 credits that make up the full Mathematics programme. It is the heaviest year of the 3 in this department by credit load, and averages 4 credits per course. Of those, 3 are Mathematics core papers.

Paper-VII: Math Lab is the only paper this year with a practical, lab or viva component. It is graded in its own right, so it moves this year's GPA independently of the theory courses. Enter a grade for each course below and the Yearly GPA updates as you go; switch to another year tab to see how this year's 12 credits weigh into your overall CGPA.

Mathematics Third Year at a Glance — 2013-2014

Across the full Mathematics programme (2013-2014), the 3 academic years carry 28 credits in total. Here is how the credit load is distributed — the year you are on is highlighted:

Because NU's GPA is credit-weighted, the papers below have the largest single effect on your Third Year result in Mathematics. An A+ in Paper-V: Computer Programming and Numerical Analysis is worth more to this year's GPA than an A+ in a 1-credit paper:

• 133701Paper-V: Computer Programming and Numerical Analysis4 credits
• 133703Paper-VI: Ordinary Differential Equations4 credits
• 133704Paper-VII: Math Lab4 credits

Step-by-Step: How to Calculate Your Third Year GPA in Mathematics

1. 1

   Start with the 3 papers you actually sat

   The list above is the exact 2013-2014 Third Year course set for Mathematics: 3 core, 0 allied and 0 university-wide common papers. Use the Grade column to set your result (A+ through F) for each one.

2. 2

   Give the 12-credit requirement its correct weighting

   1 of these papers (Paper-VII: Math Lab) are practical or lab courses graded in their own right. Enter them separately — omitting a practical understates this year's GPA and every CGPA built on it.

3. 3

   Watch the Paper-V: Computer Programming and Numerical Analysis paper move the number most

   NU's GPA is credit-weighted, so a 4-credit paper like Paper-V: Computer Programming and Numerical Analysis shifts this year's GPA roughly 33% per grade step — far more than a 1-credit paper does.

4. 4

   Add the other 2 years to get your CGPA

   This Third Year contributes 43% of the 28 credits in the full Mathematics programme. Switch year tabs to grade the rest — the Overall CGPA at the bottom accounts for every year you have entered.

Grade Points Used for Mathematics Third Year

Degree (Pass Course) is graded on NU's standard 4.00 scale: A+ 4.00, A 3.75, A− 3.50, B+ 3.25, B 3.00, B− 2.75, C+ 2.50, C 2.25, D 2.00, F 0.00. Below 40% is an F, which still counts its 4 credits in the denominator.

The CGPA Formula Applied to Mathematics (Third Year)

For the Third Year of Mathematics, your GPA is the sum of (Grade Points × Credits) for each of the 3 courses, divided by the total 12 credit hours. Failed courses (F) are counted in the denominator but contribute zero grade points, correctly penalising the GPA as per NU policy.
