Scheduling Classes An online college offers only one calculus course, one algebra course, one statistics course, and one trigonometry course. Each course is to be taught by a different professor. The four professors who will teach these courses have the following course preferences:

1. Professors A and B don’t want to teach calculus.

2. Professor C wants to teach statistics.

3. Professor B wants to teach algebra.
