Calculus IV is an intensive, higher-level course in mathematics that builds on MAT-232: Calculus II and MAT-331: Calculus III. The course aims at serving the needs of a wide student audience, including students in engineering, mathematics, the physical and life sciences, and economics. It is constructed around multiple focal points with the intention of helping students become creative and efficient problem solvers. This course focuses on the calculus of real- and vector-valued functions of one and several variables. Topics covered include infinite sequences and series, convergence tests, power series, Taylor series, and polynomials and their numerical approximations. Applications of multiple integrals and integral transformations in two and three dimensions are also covered. It also discusses topics of vector integral calculus such as line and surface integrals, theorems of Green, Gauss and Strokes, and their applications to the physical sciences. This course also provides an introduction to first-order and second-order differential equations.

This course is designed to be a bridge between the study of mathematics and the application of mathematics to various fields. It provides an overview of how the mathematical pieces of an applied problem fit together. This course also presents an investigation of meaningful and realistic problems encompassing many academic disciplines including management, economics, ecology, environmental science, sociology, and psychology. Mathematical modeling is the process of creating a mathematical representation of some phenomenon in order to gain a better understanding of that phenomenon. The main goal of this course is to learn how to make creative use of some mathematical tools, such as difference equations, ordinary and partial differential equations, and numerical analysis, to build a mathematical description of realistic problems. This includes models dealing with traffic flow, communications, energy, air pollution, currency transfer, ecosystems, inheritance, populations, bargaining, and decision making.

Geometry presents a formal and fundamental development of neutral and Euclidean geometry with an emphasis on valid arguments. Non-Euclidean geometry will also be investigated. The course begins with a thorough review of geometry, including using synthetic and algebraic approaches, and continues with a selection of more advanced topics. Topics covered include two- and three-dimensional shapes, proving triangles congruent or similar, quadrilaterals, circles, plane geometry, and non-Euclidean geometry.

Logic is often defined as the analysis of methods of reasoning. The mathematical logic is the study of mathematical reasoning and proof. This course starts off with the introduction to propositional calculus, the basics to the course; then it focuses on the first-order logic and model theory. Topics covered include the metatheorems dealing with the properties of soundness, completeness, decidability, and consistency. The final part of the course is about formal number theory.

Candidates for completion of the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree will complete an independent project demonstrating their conceptual, analytical, research, and practical management skills achieved through the courses in the program. The project, called a Capstone because it represents a crowning achievement much as a capstone does in architecture, is a 3-credit, one-term requirement that is completed at the end of the program. It is a closely supervised experience resulting in a paper that demonstrates the student's ability to synthesize and utilize the skills and knowledge gained throughout the MBA program. Prerequisites: This course requires completion of ORR-710: Organizational Research. Students may not take ORR-710 and the Management Capstone during the same term.

3.00 Credits
This course sharpens written, oral, and listening skills to meet the demands of a successful managerial communicator. Emphasis is placed on strategically evaluating and creating articulate communications relative to managerial situations along with effectively and efficiently developing procedures for solving communication problems. Topics include structuring message content and argument; communication style, tone, and strategy; presentation graphics; ethics; and technologically mediated, intercultural, and crisis communications.

This course is an in-depth survey of marketing. The flow of goods and services between consumers and marketing organizations, marketing environments, competitive markets, and factors are examined. Specific attention is given to market identification and segmentation, target market selection, strategic planning along with implementation and evaluation, the nature and development of products, pricing, distribution, and promotion.

This course examines the essential analysis skills required for making quality marketing decisions. Developing a market research design demands necessary quantitative and qualitative abilities to identify and define market opportunities and issues; generate, improve, and assess marketing performance; and monitor marketing performance as well as advance understanding of marketing as a process. Students are required to select a contemporary marketing problem or opportunity, frame the issue into a research question, review the relative literature, develop measures and collect pertinent data, statistically analyze data results, and provide an industry-standard final report of findings and limitations.

This is the first of two courses needed to complete the Capstone Project for the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MALS) program. The proposal is not the project itself but the foundation on which the student will create the project. The Capstone project represents new work and ideas. Although the idea may come from an issue or report previously undertaken, the project gives the student the opportunity to apply and interpret the ideas, practices, and/or skills learned during the MALS program.
