4.00 Credits
4 credits For seniors only. The student chooses A subject for investigation (usually in the area of his/her concentration) and, working individually under the guidance of the appropriate instructor, writes an extensive paper. Consultation, planning, and groundwork for this paper should begin not less than one full semester before registration. A well-written proposal must be submitted to the Registrar. Prerequisites: 6 credits of 3000-level CLITR courses, upperclass standing, and permission of the instructor and division director for Humanities. By arrangement.
-
3.00 Credits
1-12 credits An independent study offers students an opportunity to explore A topic not available through the current course offerings, or to explore A subject in greater depth than is possible in A regular course. For more information, see Independent Study guidelines. Prerequisites: Upperclass standing and permission of the instructor and division director for Humanities.

3.00 Credits
3 credits This course will focus on the importance of mathematics in the modern world. Topics will include logic and problem solving, dealing with data, modeling, and other real world applications. Students will enhance their ability to use concepts, procedures, and intellectual processes specific to quantitative reasoning. As well, students will engage in versatility in approaching and solving problems. Each student will complete an individualized project to study A particular aspect of mathematics in further detail. This course is identical in content and workload to CMATH 1010, and it includes an additional hour of classroom time each week in the lab. Placement in/waiver from this class depends on SAT or ACT math or Lesley Math Assessment scores.

3.00 Credits
3 credits This course focuses on the development of problem solving skills, strategies, and heuristics. Within this problem-solving context, the mathematical areas of number theory and functions, sets and logic, and combinatorics and probability are explored. Individual and group problem tasks will permit students to observe, analyze, and contrast problem-solving strategies and attitudes. Each student will keep A learning log noting insights into their own problem-solving ability, and written explanations to problem solutions are expected. Prerequisite: CMATH 1009 or 1010.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits This course is intended to introduce students to discrete mathematics and its importance in today's world. Topics include voting methods and theory, fair division, models for population growth, linear programming, graphs and their applications, combinatorics, probability, and game theory. Prerequisite: CMATH 1009 or CMATH 1010
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits This course is intended to develop students' visual thinking and spatial relationships. Topics from plane geometry include transformations, tessellations of figures, and symmetry. Topics from solid geometry include three-dimensional symmetry and the platonic solids. Study of these geometric concepts is enhanced through extensive use of hands-on activities and computer applications. Prerequisite: CMATH 1009 or 1010.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits This course introduces the study of algebraic systems including properties of fields and groups, isomorphism, group generators, and algebraic proof. Applications from the visual arts and chemistry - rose window symmetry, frieze patterns, Escher- and Escher-like graphics, crystallography - are used to motivate the concept of A group. When placed in historical context, modern algebra and group theory are seen as the nineteenth century search for A general theory of structure in algebra. Prerequisite: CMATH 1009 or 1010, or permission of full-time Mathematics faculty.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits The seventeenth century development of the calculus marked A change in world view which prepared the way for modern science. This course introduces the fundamental concepts of limit, continuity, derivative, the definite integral, and the Fundamental Theorem of the Calculus. Applications to the natural and social sciences include modeling the reaction time of the central nervous system, investigations of population growth, price discrimination, and consumer surplus. The course requires knowledge and facility with Algebra I and II, including trigonometric functions and conics. Prerequisites: CMATH 1009, 1010, or permission of full-time Mathematics faculty.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Statistical inference draws conclusions from data. The emphasis of This course is on the reasoning of inference - the what and how of making judgments about data. Topics include significance tests involving means and proportions, linear and multiple regression, and one- and two-way analysis of variance. A research project making use of inferential statistics is required. Prerequisite: CMATH 2142.
