1 Credit Offered Each Semester MATH 143E is a lab/recitation course for students in the Electronic Technology program. This course includes radian measure, applications of right triangle trigonometry, graphs of trigonometric functions, complex numbers, polar coordinates, and vectors. Mathematical modeling with electronics emphasis is stressed. Lecture/Recitation: 1 hour per week Prerequisite: MATH 108 or successful completion of two years of high school algebra and an appropriate score on the placement test Corequisite: MATH 143
-
2.00 Credits
2 Credits Offered Each Semester MATH 144 includes angles, trigonometric functions, their graphs and the application thereof, right-triangle trigonometry, trigonometric identity verification, trigonometric formulas, inverse trigonometric functions, and the law of sines and cosines. It satisfies two credits towards the mathematics requirement for the A.A., A.S., and A.A.S. degrees.
-
5.00 Credits
5 Credits Offered Each Semester MATH 147 is designed for the well-prepared mathematics student who wishes to condense the one-year sequence of MATH 143 and MATH 144 into one semester. It is the study of polynomial and rational equations, functions and their inverses, graphs, systems of equations, complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions, identities and graphs, applications of triangles, and polar coordinates. This course prepares students for calculus courses which are required for degrees in mathematics, engineering, computer science, physics, chemistry, and others. It satisfies the mathematics requirement for the A.A., A.S., and A.A.S. degrees.

1.00 Credits
1 credit Offered Each Semester This course explores the use of technological tools such as graphing calculators and mathematical software to solve problems in mathematics. Opportunities to perform basic operations including computation, graphing, and manipulation of statistical data are presented. Students are encouraged to compare different techniques and develop strategies to determine how to effectively utilize the available tools. This course counts as an elective towards the A.A. or A.S. degrees. Lecture: 1 hour per week Prerequisite: MATH-108 with a grade of C- or higher
-
3.00 Credits
3 Credits Offered Each Semester Math 157 is a lecture/lab course that is required for elementary teacher certification by the State of Idaho. It does not satisfy the math core requirement for the A.A., or A.S. degrees at NIC. This course provides prospective elementary school teachers with a problem-solving approach to the topics of the elementary school math curriculum. Focus is on teaching basic arithmetic operations on the set of real numbers while strengthening prospective teachers' mathematical skills and appreciation of mathematics. Lecture: 3 hours per week Lab: 1 hour per week Prerequisite: Completion of MATH 143 or 147 with a C- or better; or an appropriate score on the placement test, either COMPASS College Algebra >51, ACT Math >27, SAT Math >620.

4.00 Credits
4 Credits Offered Each Semester MATH 160 is the introduction to calculus as used in business, social sciences, and life sciences. It focuses on functions, graphs, limits, the derivative, exponential and logarithm functions, and integration applications. The course develops an understanding of the fundamentals of differential and integral calculus and how to apply these principles and theories to the solution of real problems. MATH 160 satisfies the math requirement for the A.A., A.S., and A.A.S. degrees.
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credits Offered Each Semester MATH 170 is an introduction to calculus as the mathematics of change and motion. It emphasizes limits, the derivative, techniques of differentiation, and the integral. This course builds a foundation for all further study in mathematics and science that is typically required in mathematics, engineering, computer science, physics, chemistry, and other transfer degrees.
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credits Offered Each Semester MATH 175 is a continuation of the calculus sequence emphasizing techniques of integration, applications of integration, polar coordinates, parametric equations, sequences, and series. It is required for most transfer degrees in mathematics and science.
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credits Offered Spring Semester MATH 187 is intended for computer science majors, mathematics majors, and for other students wishing to pursue indepth study in computer science. Topics covered will include basic set theory, propositional and predicate logic, number systems, Boolean algebra, combinatories, and graph theory. Little or no programming will be done. Lecture: 4 hours per week Prerequisite: MATH 147 with a grade of C- or higher Recommended: Knowledge of programming language such as C++ or Java
-
3.00 Credits
3 Credits Offered Each Semester MATH 253 is an introduction to statistical methods covering both descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, which includes hypothesis testing, correlations and regression, chisquare, and analysis of variance. Probability is included as needed. This course is suitable for a broad range of majors. Lecture: 3 hours per week Prerequisite: Entry is based on an appropriate score on the placement test, either COMPASS Algebra > 61, ACT Math > 23, SAT Math > 540 or a grade of C- or above in MATH 130, MATH 143, or MATH 147.
