-
3.00 Credits
Covers topics in mathematics which are especially useful in computer science: logic, functions and relations, combinatorics, trees, analysis of algorithms, and elementary modern algebra. Prerequisite: MA 106-G. Interterm.
-
4.00 Credits
A course designed to acquaint the students with the nature, philosophy, methodology, significance, and use of mathematics from ancient times to the present and in various cultural contexts. The concept of a mathematical system is emphasized. The following topics are included: inductive/deductive reasoning, logic, set theory, concepts, and relations in number theory, numeration systems, probability, and statistics. This course is required of all prospective teachers preparing for licensure in the state of Kansas. Prerequisite: Successful completion of mathematics competency requirements. Fall semester.
-
4.00 Credits
This is a continuation of MA 204-G and is required of those preparing to teach kindergarten through sixth grade. The course will include topics from algebra, geometric figures and their properties, transformational geometry, analytic geometry, contrast of Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, measurement, representations of algebraic and geometric situations/solutions. Students will be encouraged to recognize patterns, and form and test conjectures. Prerequisite: MA 204-G. Spring semester.
-
5.00 Credits
A continuation of MA 111-G, introducing the elementary transcendental functions. Methods and applications of integration. An introduction to linear algebra including systems of linear equations, matrices, and vectors. Algebraic structures. Prerequisite: MA 111-G or MA 203-G. (If Calculus I was not taken at Tabor College, the student must take MA 203-G before enrolling in MA 212.) Spring semester.
-
4.00 Credits
This course includes both discrete and inferential statistics, probability, binomial, normal and chi-squared distributions, tests of hypotheses, confidence intervals, regression, and correlation. A statistical package is used throughout the course. Recommended for students in biology, environmental studies, pre-nursing, economics, business, psychology, and sociology. Prerequisite 1: One of the following two courses: Plane Geometry or Algebra II, and Mathematics ACT score of 19, Mathematics SAT score of 460, or consent of instructor. Prerequisite 2: BA 110-G, CS 100-G, CS 150-G, or consent of instructor. (Same as PY/SO 221) Spring semester.
-
4.00 Credits
Combinatorial analysis. Matrices and applications. Linear programming. Derivatives and integrals with applications. With MA 221-G this course provides the mathematics recommended for students in the social and biological sciences. Prerequisite 1: Successful completion of the computer literacy requirement. Prerequisite 2: Algebra II in high school or MA 104.
-
2.00 Credits
Required for all mathematics majors, this course is a laboratory-based introduction to several of the computer software packages that exist for teaching and/or doing mathematics. The mathematical subject areas to be involved include geometry, algebra, precalculus, linear algebra, probability, statistics, and calculus. The software packages introduced may include (but are not limited to) Excel, and/or Quattro Pro, Geometer's Sketchpad, Derive, Matlab, Minitab, SPSS, and Mathematica. The focus of the course will be on using the various packages for modeling and problem-solving and selecting appropriate software for middle/high school mathematics courses. Prerequisite: MA 212 or MA 222-G. Spring semester, even-numbered years.
