1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Completion or waiver of MAT 012 Offered: Typically Spring Terms and as student interest and faculty availability allow This course provides an introduction to computers and to mathematical modeling of problems from the real world with an emphasis on using the computer as a flexible problem-solving, predictive, and exploratory tool. A selected computer-application package is studied in depth and used to explore a variety of applied examples. This computer package may vary from section to section. Practical Reasoning with Quantitative Emphasis (PRQ). NOTE: Noncredit for students who completed or waived MAT 101, 110 (no longer offered at Berea College), 115, or 135 (formerly 220). 1 Course Credit

1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Completion or waiver of MAT 012 Offered: Typically Fall and Spring terms and as student interest and faculty availability allow This course is designed for students with little mathematics background who wish to gain experience with the basic concepts of statistics and their applications. Topics include graphic representations of data; measures of central tendency and variability; linear regression and correlation; probability; sampling distributions; estimation using confidence intervals; and significance testing. Practical Reasoning with Quantitative Emphasis (PRQ). NOTE: This course is not intended for Mathematics majors and is noncredit for students who completed ECO 250 or MAT 311. 1 Course Credit

1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Completion or waiver of MAT 012 Offered: Typically Fall and Spring terms Discrete mathematics is that branch of mathematics that deals with arrangements of distinct objects. The course will focus on three basic questions related to these arrangements: the existence of such arrangements, the counting of such arrangements, and the selection of a "best" arrangement based upon some criterion. Techniques from this branch of mathematics have application in a wide variety of practical everyday situations, such as how to find the best route for snowplows in a city or what voting method would best represent the will of the voters. Other useful applications include how to count the number of different possible combinations of color and type of a marketed product, how best to schedule a list of tasks to be done, and how to view game theory as a model of social interaction. Discrete mathematical models are used by decision makers in our society, from workers in government to those in health care, transportation, and telecommunications.

1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Completion or waiver of MAT 012 Offered: Typically annually (next offered Fall 2009) The state of the planet will be discussed from differing points of view. Local and global issues such as air, land, and water pollution; energy production and consumption; forest, wetland, and other resource management; and waste disposal will be considered. Mathematical models will be developed and explored on the computer in order to make predictions and to consider solutions regarding the environmental problems that face our world. Practical Reasoning with Quantitative Emphasis (PRQ). NOTE: Noncredit for students who completed or waived MAT 101, 110 (no longer offered at Berea College), 115, or 135 (formerly MAT 220). 1 Course Credit

1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Completion or waiver of MAT 012 Offered: Typically Fall and Spring terms This course offers a study of algebraic functions and their uses in mathematical modeling. Topics will include the real-number system; basic concepts of functions and graphs; linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions and models; and the solutions of systems of linear equations. Applications to various disciplines will be investigated through the development and analysis of mathematical models. Computer graphics and computational packages will be introduced to aid in the analysis of selected applications. Practical Reasoning with Quantitative Emphasis (PRQ). NOTE: Noncredit for students who completed or waived MAT 135 (formerly 220). 1 Course Credit

1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Completion or waiver of MAT 115 Offered: Typically Fall and Spring terms This course offers a study of trigonometry and trigonometric functions. Topics will include a review of basic concepts of functions and graphs; trigonometric functions; analytic trigonometry; trigonometric equations; and polar coordinates and vectors. Applications of trigonometry will be investigated through the development and analysis of mathematical models. Computer graphics and computational packages will be introduced to aid in the analysis of selected applications. Practical Reasoning with Quantitative Emphasis (PRQ). 1 Course Credit

1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: A knowledge of trigonometry and MAT 110, 112, or 125 (110 and 112 no longer offered at Berea) with a grade of C or higher, or waiver of same based on placement test Offered: Typically Fall and Spring terms A study of analytic methods in geometry precedes an introduction to differential calculus. Main topics include exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions, limits, continuity, differentiation, indeterminate forms, and applications of differential calculus. Practical Reasoning with Quantitative Emphasis (PRQ) Requirement. NOTE: Noncredit for students who completed this course as MAT 220. 1 Course Credit

1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Determined by instructor Offered: Typically as student interest and faculty availability allow A course designed to meet the particular interests of student and faculty. Topics vary from year to year. See course description in the "Schedule of Classes." 1/4 to 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Completion or waiver of MAT 012 Offered: Typically every Fall Term This course will be a study of basic ideas of sets, operations on sets, the counting numbers, and the extension of the numbers to include the rational and real number systems. Throughout the course, the emphasis will be on understanding ideas in mathematics through problem solving and the use of manipulatives, and using this understanding to investigate and develop strategies for teaching elementary mathematics. Observing and teaching children are required for all students enrolled. 1 Course Credit

1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Completion or waiver of MAT 012; MAT 201, with a grade of C or higher Offered: Typically every Spring Term This course is a continuation of MAT 201. Topics in mathematics to be covered include: definitions, axioms, similarity, congruence, areas, and volumes. Throughout the course, the emphasis will be on understanding ideas in mathematics through problem solving and the use of manipulatives, and using this understanding to investigate and develop strategies for teaching elementary mathematics. Observing and teaching children are required of all students enrolled. 1 Course Credit
