Calculus I, II, and III form the Calculus sequence for students in mathematics, physics, or chemistry. The objective of these three courses is to introduce the fundamental ideas of differential and integral calculus as they pertain to functions of both one and several variables.

Topics for Calculus I include limits, continuity, rates of change, derivatives, the Mean Value Theorem, applications of the derivative, curve sketching, related rates, optimization problems, and an introduction to area and integration.

Every Fall.

Prerequisite: MAT 103/Precalculus is * recommended* for students who would like a referesher in precalculus and/or trigonometry.

This course provides a rigorous survey of classical and modern geometries. The intellectural and historical impact that geometry has had over the millennia is an underlying theme. Topics include: axiomatic and topological foundations; Euclidean geometry and its constructions; hyperbolic geometry; spherical geometry; projective geometry; and finite geometries. The primary audience consists of students interested in secondary mathematics teaching; however, mathematics major with other career paths and science majors are welcome.

Offered irregularly.

An internship is designed to provide a formalized experiential learning opportunity to qualified students. The internship generally requires the student to obtain a faculty supervisor in the relevant field of study, submit a learning agreement, work 30 hours for every hour of academic credit, keep a written journal of the work experience, have regularly scheduled meetings with the faculty supervisor, and write a research paper dealing with some aspect of the internship. Written work should total five pages of academic writing for every hour of credit. An extensive list of internships is maintained by the Career Services Office, including opportunities at the Lynwood Park Community Center Education Program, Internal Revenue Service, and various actuarial and consulting firms. Graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis.

Offered as needed.

Prerequisites: Permission of the faculty supervisor and qualification for the internship program.
