No student will be permitted to register for a mathematics course
that is a prerequisite to a mathematics course for which the student
has already received academic credit.
| MAT 102. College Algebra with
Modeling |
4 hours |
The objective of this course is to equip students with the
algebraic reasoning and skills for Applied Calculus or
Precalculus. The function concept is developed in algebraic,
graphical, and numerical form, with attention to rates of
change, domain, range, and inverses. Categories of functions
(linear, other polynomials, rational, exponential, and
logarithmic) are discussed in terms of their properties, using
equations, systems of equations, and inequalities. The course
includes modeling of real-world data with these functions.
|
| MAT 103. Precalculus |
4 hours |
The objective of this
course is to equip students with the skills needed for Calculus
I. Topics include basic analytic geometry, trigonometry
(functions, equations, and identities), complex numbers, polar
coordinates, vectors in the plane, parametric equations, and
transformation of coordinates.
For students who would like a refresher or more preparation for
Precalculus, the course MAT 102/College Algebra with Modeling is
recommended.
|
| MAT 111. Statistics |
4 hours |
This course includes
descriptive and inferential statistics with particular emphasis
upon parametric statistics, rules of probability, interval
estimation, and hypothesis testing. Distributions that will be
discussed include the normal, chi-square, and t-distribution.
Additional topics include analysis of variance, regression and
correlation analysis, goodness-of-fit, and tests for
independence.
|
| MAT 121. Applied Calculus |
4 hours |
This is the recommended
calculus course for students in business, economics, and the
social sciences. The goal of this course is to present calculus
in an intuitive yet intellectually satisfying way and to
illustrate the many applications of calculus to the management
sciences, business, economics, and the social sciences. Topics
include functions, the derivative, techniques of
differentiation, applications of the derivative, the exponential
and natural logarithm functions, applications of the exponential
and natural logarithm functions, the definite integral, and
functions of several variables.
For
students who would like a refresher or more preparation for
Applied Calculus, the course MAT 102/College Algebra with
Modeling is recommended.
|
| MAT 131, MAT 132, MAT 233.
Calculus I, II, III |
4 plus 4 plus 4 hours |
| This is the recommended
calculus sequence for students in mathematics, the physical
sciences, and computer science. The objective of these courses
is to introduce the fundamental ideas of the differential and
integral calculus of functions of one and several variables.
Topics include limits, continuity, rates of change, derivatives,
the Mean Value Theorem, applications of the derivative, curve
sketching, related rates, maximization/minimization problems,
area, integration, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, inverse
functions, logarithmic functions, exponential functions,
techniques of integration, applications of integration to
volumes and surface area, conic sections, sequences, series,
vectors, lines, planes, vector-valued functions, curves, partial
derivatives, multiple integrals, and vector fields.
For students who would like a refresher or more preparation
for MAT 131/Calculus I, the course MAT 103/Precalculus is
recommended.
Prerequisite for MAT 132/Calculus II:
MAT 131/Calculus I with a grade of "C-" or higher.
Prerequisite for MAT 233/Calculus III:
MAT
132/Calculus II with a grade of "C-" or higher.
|
| MAT 241. Differential Equations |
4 hours |
The objective of this
course is to introduce the fundamental ideas of the theory of
ordinary differential equations and to consider some of the
applications of this theory to the physical sciences. Topics
include equations of order one, applications of equations of
order one, linear differential equations, linear equations with
constant coefficients, nonhomogenous equations, undetermined
coefficients, variation of parameters, applications of equations
of order two, and power series solutions. Prerequisite: MAT 233
with a grade of "C-" or higher.
|
| MAT 261. Proof & Logic: An Introduction to Post-Calculus Mathematics |
4 hours |
| This course may be
considered a general introduction to advanced mathematics. As
such, it will consider various methods and techniques of
mathematical proof. Topics are drawn from logic, set theory,
functions, relations, combinatorics, graph theory, and boolean
algebra. Prerequisite: MAT 132 with a grade of "C-" or higher.
