Study of elementary number theory, groups, rings, and fields. Specific examples and additional topics selected by instructor. Prerequisite: grade of C or higher in 112. QL

An introduction to mathematical modeling, computer simulation, and procedural programming. Various deterministic, stochastic, and simulation models are covered, with applications to engineering, physics, biology, chemistry, business, and other areas. Requirements include modeling projects with written reports and class presentations. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or grade of C or higher in 220, 325. (Equivalent to ENGR 365). QL, WCII

Principles, goals, and methods of teaching elementary school and middle school mathematics. Topics include set theory, number systems, whole numbers, number theory and integers and the associated binary operations. Emphasis on problem solving. Offered every semester. Prerequisite: grade of C or higher in 155 or a Math ACT score of 22 or higher. QL

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.

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.
