Introduction to mathematics, whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percent, ratio and proportion, and applications of arithmetic. Algebra: operations on polynomials, factoring and fractions, equations and inequalities, graphing, exponents and radicals, quadratic equations, and concepts in geometry and applications. (Prerequisite: Admission by placement exam or consent of the instructor/registrar)
Designed primarily for the student who does not plan to specialize in mathematics or related science. This course emphasizes fundamental concepts and applications of mathematics along with formal techniques. Topics discussed will be number bases and real numbers, intermediate algebra, geometry and right triangle trigonometry, probability and statistics, and sets. (Prerequisite: One year of elementary algebra)
Designed primarily for students who have a sufficient background in Algebra. This course is suitable for inclusion in a program of study for elementary education math students. Survey of applications of mathematics to real-world problems. Topics are from graph theory, management science, political science, statistics, and computer science. (Prerequisite: Math ACT score of 20, Math SAT score of 530, passing score on math placement exam or MTH 101)
For those who have a good background, but not a working knowledge, of algebra and trigonometry. Topics include: basic algebraic operations, inequalities, functions and their representation, polynomial functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions and applications, algebra of vectors, and analytic geometry of the plane. (Prerequisite: Three years of high school mathematics including Algebra I and Algebra II)
Special attention given to applications in business and the social sciences. Topics include matrix algebra, linear programming, mathematics of finance, basic concepts of probability, and Markov Chains with applications. (Prerequisite: Algebra I and Algebra II or MTH 101)
An introduction to statistical methods, including: organization of data, graphical representation of data, measures of location and dispersion, elementary probability, theoretical frequency distribution, sampling, estimation, hypothesis testing, correlation, regression, and analysis of variance. This course is of particular interest to students majoring in business, education, social, and biological sciences. (Prerequisites: Algebra I and Algebra II or MTH 101)
This course is for those who have a sufficient background in algebra and trigonometry. Topics include: functions, continuity and limits, derivatives of algebraic and trigonometric functions, applications of derivatives, and the definite integral and applications. (Prerequisite: four years of high school mathematics or MTH 103)
Extension of concepts of limit, derivative, and integral to include log and exponential functions with applications. Techniques of integration, improper integrals, “L’Hospital’s” rule, infinite series, numerical integration, and polar forms. (Prerequisite: MTH 203)
An introduction to discrete structures. Material covered will include sets, propositions, proofs, functions and relations, equivalence relations, quantifiers, Boolean algebras, and graphs. (Prerequisite: MTH 204 or taken concurrently)
An introduction to the theory and applications of linear algebra. Topics include vector spaces, matrices, linear transformations, determinants, eigenvalue and eigenvectors, and inner product spaces. (Prerequisite: MTH 300)
Selected topics from logical systems and basic laws of reasoning, foundations of Euclidean geometry, finite geometries, geometric loci, transformations, inversion, and non-Euclidean geometry to include hyperbolic plane geometry, projective geometry, affine geometry, and computer geometry. (Prerequisite: MTH 300)
