Discrete Mathematics

Mathematical logic and proofs are introduced and used to discuss sets, functions, mathematical induction, and countability. Counting methods are covered which include permutations, combinations, and applications to probability. Introductory graph theory topics may include isomorphisms, Euler and Hamiltonian circuits, directed graphs, spanning trees. Computer programming is used to carry out various algorithms throughout the course. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or grade of C or higher in MATH 112.

Managerial Mathematics

Several topics applicable to the study of business are covered. In particular, the course considers systems of linear equations and linear programming, the mathematics of finance, and an introduction to probability. Emphasis in the course is on applications. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or grade of C or higher in 111 or 112. QL

Special Topics

Courses on topics of interest to mathematics students offered on the basis of need, interest, or timeliness. Prerequisites: as determined by the instructor. Restricted to students with freshman or sophomore standing. May be repeated for credit. For specific section description, click to the Section Details in VitNet.

Experiential Learning: Internship

Non-classroom experiences in the field of mathe- matics. Placements are off-campus, and may be full- or part-time, and with or without pay. Credit for experiences must be sought prior to occurance, and learning contracts must be submitted before the end of the first week of the semester. See the experiential learning: internship section of this catalog for more details. Restricted to students with freshman or sophomore standing. Graded CR/NC.

Independent Study

Independent reading and/or research under the guidance of a mathematics faculty member. Refer to the academic policy section for independent study policy. Independent study contract is required. May be repeated for credit.

Intermediate Algebra

Review of basic algebra, linear equations and inequalities, functions and graphs, systems of linear equations, polynomials, factoring, quadratic equations, exponential and logarithmic functions. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or successful completion of 091. Students who successfully completed 091 are required to take 081 as a co-requisite. QL

College Algebra

Linear equations and functions, systems of equations, quadratic equations and functions, functions and graphs, polynomial and rational functions, exponentials and logarithmic functions, and conic sections. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or successful completion of 091. Students who successfully completed 091 are required to take 081 as a co-requisite. QL

Trigonometry

This course focuses on the concepts and applications of trigonometry. The primary goal is to prepare students for their calculus course. Topics covered include the basics of the trigonometric functions and their graphs and applications, trigonometric identities and equations, the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines, vectors, complex numbers, conic sections, parametric equations and polar coordinates. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or grade of C or higher in 111 or 112. QL

Introductory Statistics

An introductory course with an emphasis on interpreting results and drawing conclusions from real life data. Topics include summarizing and plotting data, surveys, bias, probability, random variables, sampling distributions, hypothesis testing and confidence intervals for proportions and means, chi-square tests, and linear regression. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or successful completion of 091. Students who successfully completed 091 are required to take 083 as a co-requisite. QL

Mathematics: A Way of Thinking

An investigation of topics such as the history of mathematics, number systems, the mathematics of voting, graph theory, geometry, logic, probability, and statistics. There is an emphasis on problem-solving. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or successful completion of 091. QL
