MATH 1002 Perspectives on The History of Mathematics
Credit: 3 hours
Corequisite: MSCC 1000
An elementary survey of the origins and development of mathematics from the classical to the modern. Topics will include numerical systems, and the origins of algebra, geometry, and calculus. The focus will be on the mathematicians and historical background surrounding these developments. Three hours per week.
MATH 1101 Introduction to Mathematical Modeling
Credit: 3 hours
Prerequisite: Completion of Learning Support mathematics requirements
This course is an introduction to mathematical modeling using graphical, numerical, symbolic, and verbal techniques to describe and explore realworld data and phenomena. Emphasis is on the use of elementary functions to investigate and analyze problems and questions supported by the use of appropriate technology, and on effective communication of quantitative concepts and results. The course includes a study of linear, quadratic,
polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic models. A TI-83 graphing calculator is required. Three hours per week.
MATH 1111 College Algebra
Credit: 3 hours
Prerequisite: Completion of Learning Support mathematics requirements with at least a "C" in MATH 0099 and a score of 12 or higher on the College Algebra Placement Test; or at least a "C" in MATH 1101; or a math SAT score of at least 550.
This course, designed for students who plan to take MATH 1113, MATH 1200, or MATH 1251, is a functional approach to algebra which incorporates the use of appropriate technology. Emphasis is placed on the study of functions (linear, quadratic, piecewise defined, rational, polynomial, exponential and logarithmic), their graphs, and inequalities. Appropriate applications are included. A graphing calculator is required. Three hours per week.
MATH 1200 Elementary Statistics
Credit: 3 hours
Prerequisite: At least a "C" in MATH 1101 or MATH 1111 or permission of instructor
This is an introduction to the basic concepts and principles of statistics with elementary applications. Topics include data organization, data description, probability, normal distributions, sampling distributions, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. A statistical or graphing calculator is required. Three hours per week.
MATH 1220 Discrete Mathematics
Credit: 3 hours
Prerequisite: At least a "C" in MATH 1111 or a math SAT score of at least 550
This course is an introduction to discrete sets. Selected topics include sets, logic, counting, graph theory, trees, and algorithms. The course is designed primarily for Computer Science majors. Three hours per week.
MATH 1251 Calculus I
Credit: 4 hours
Prerequisite: At least a "C" in MATH 1113 or a math SAT score of at least 600 or permission of the instructor
This is the first course in a three-course sequence designed primarily to provide mathematics and natural science majors with necessary mathematical understanding and skills. Topics include limits, continuity, differentiation of algebraic and trigonometric functions, applications of the derivative, definite and indefinite integrals, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and applications of the integral. A graphing calculator is required. Four hours per week.
