MAT 100 - Problem Solving Seminar

Institution:

University of Sioux Falls

Subject:

Description:

An interactive study of the subtle concept of how to solve a math problem. Problems from all areas and levels of difficulty will be introduced and offered during this seminar. Topics will include familiar high-school-level mathematics such as algebra, trigonometry and geometry, but a greater richness and depth of the material will be uncovered during the exploration of solving mathematical problems. Often neglected topics such as probability, number theory and combinatorics will be explored as well. Opportunities for studying advanced topics requiring knowledge of calculus will be available, but not expected. Students will practice writing cogent solutions to problems in mathematics and will have an opportunity to present their results as well. Prerequisite: Interest in Mathematics. Offered every fall. Note: This course may be repeated for additional elective credit (but a student may not receive credit for the course more than four times). (1 s.h.)
