  • MAT 118: History of Mathematics

    3.00 Credits
    University of Maine at Machias

    The goal of this course is to provide students interested in teaching middle- or high-school level mathematics, or others simply interested in the topic, the necessary understanding of the historical foundation of mathematics. The course will explore the origins of mathematics from anthropological and sociological viewpoints. It will then use this as a base for exploring the cultural development of basic numbering, arithmetic, basic statistics (mean, median, mode, etc.), simple probability, basic geometry, measurement (area, volume, etc.), patterns, including symmetry and basic networks, mathematical reasoning, and using mathematics to communicate. The development of these areas, all of which are contained in the Maine State Learning Results for middle and secondary grades, will be explored from various cultural perspectives including a selection from prehistoric, Native American, Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Ancient Greek, Roman, Hindu, Islamic, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and European cultures. The course is designed to be a survey course that will allow for such a broad view of the development of mathematics. Prerequisite: MAT 102 or permission of instructor. 3 Cr

  • MAT 215: Applied Statistics

    4.00 Credits
    University of Maine at Machias

    Designed for students who intend to use statistics and statistical software later in their education and professional lives. This course offers an extensive and in-depth introduction to the concepts and methods of statistics in the three parts: data analysis, data production, and statistical inference. The course also includes a limited introduction to probability. Students learn about the role of variability in hypothesis testing using both parametric and non-parametric tests. The course is taught in the computer classroom with each student having individual access to statistical software. The software, used for all applications discussed in class, is an important part of the course for demonstration, student tutorials, and discussing homework. Prerequisite: MAT 102 or equivalent. 4 Cr

  • MAT 315: Experimental Design & Analysis for Biologists

    4.00 Credits
    University of Maine at Machias

    This course will introduce students to the most common and widely used experimental designs to generate biological data for both continuous and categorical variables. The emphasis will be on how to: 1) design resource-appropriate sampling programs; 2) avoid mistakes that make analyzing data difficult; and, 3) properly analyze data. Statistical methods such as analysis of variance, linear and non-linear regression, analysis of covariance, analysis of frequencies, and an introduction to multivariate analysis will be presented.
