MATH - Mathematics

This course is intended for students who need more preparation to be successful in College Algebra or other courses of that level. Topics covered include: review of first degree equations, systems of equations and inequalities, graphing, polynomials, factoring, radicals and rational exponents, quadratic equations, rational expressions, relations and functions and an introduction to triangle trigonometry.

This course includes topics such as polynomials, radicals, exponents, coordinate geometry, rational expressions and equations, and solutions to linear and quadratic equations. Students are introduced to the concept of functions and their graphs. Additional topics may include conic sections, matrices, variation, and nonlinear inequalities. Emphasis will be placed on problem solving. A graphing calculator is required. The course is designed to give students additional time above that allotted in MATH 1033 working on mastery of concepts and skills in the student learning outcomes.

This course includes a review of functions, an introduction to the concept of limits and a study of the techniques of differentiation and integration of algebraic functions with applications to the various technologies. A graphing calculator is required. Credit for MATH 1063 Technical Calculus I will not be given if student receives credit for MATH 1084 Calculus I.

Designed for the student intending to continue his/her education in mathematics, science or engineering. The course will include a review of functions, an introduction to the concept of limits, and a study of the derivatives and integrals of algebraic and transcendental functions and their applications. A graphing calculator is required. Students cannot receive credit for both MATH 1063 and MATH 1084.

This course is the first of a two semester sequence in statistics. It covers mainly descriptive techniques such as data collection, organization techniques, measures of center, spread, and position. Other topics covered include: probability, probability distributions, normal and binomial distributions, correlation and regression. Requires a "C" or better in 1003 or 1004 or 1024 or an appropriate placement score.

This course is designed for curricula where quantitative reasoning is required. The course content includes critical thinking skills, arithmetic and algebra concepts, statistical concepts, financial concepts, as well as numerical systems and applications. A graphing calculator is required.

This course is designed for the college student who has demonstrated mastery of algebra skills and techniques. Topics include trigonometric functions and their properties with the study of identities, formulas, equations, and graphs. Also included are the solution of right and oblique triangles using the law of sines and cosines. In addition, time is spent exploring logarithmic and exponential functions. Emphasis is placed on contextual applications and problem solving. A graphing calculator is required. Credit cannot be received for both MATH 2043 and MATH 1054.

A continuation of MATH 1084 with a concentrated study of integration techniques along with applications. Applications include but are not limited to areas, volumes, arc length, and work problems to name a few. The course involves the methods of integration and applications as they apply to both the algebraic and transcendental functions. Infinite Series will be included. Graphing Calculator required. Student cannot receive credit for both MATH 2094 and MATH 2074.

A continuation of MATH 1123 emphasizing probability distributions with predictive and inferential aspects of statistics: the normal distribution with applications, central limit theorem, hypothesis testing and estimation as applied to the mean, standard deviation, and proportions. Other topics include normal approximation to binomial, Chi-Square applications, linear regression, correlation, and nonparametric statistics. Use of calculators for analysis and computer statistical packages are utilized.

A student may contract for from one to four credit hours of independent study in mathematics through an arrangement with an instructor of mathematics. The student and instructor will develop a course of study which must be approved by the department chair and the school dean. The instructor and the student will confer regularly regarding the student's progress.

A student may contract for one to six credit hours of independent study through an arrangement with an instructor who agrees to direct such a study. The student will submit a plan acceptable to the instructor and to the department chair. The instructor and student will confer regularly regarding the process of the study.

This course is designed as a continuation of MATH 2094. Topics will include: parametric equations, polar, cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems, vectors and vector valued functions, functions of several variables, partial derivatives and applications, multiple integrals, and vector analysis, including Green's theorem, Stokes' theorem, and Gauss' theorem. The course will include several major projects outside of class.

This course is designed for the engineering technology student. It covers techniques for comparing alternative projects based on economic considerations; time value of money; present worth; equivalent uniform annual cost; rate of return on investment; minimum cost life; expected value; decisions under risk; effects of income tax and inflation.
