3.00 Credits
Designed to build upon student's mathematics background, relating students' mathematical knowledge to understanding and teaching the middle or secondary school mathematics curriculum. Topics to be considered are: geometry, algebra, basic skills, number theory, probability and statistics and the use of calculators and computers in the classroom. A thirty (30) hour field experience is a course requirement. Prerequisites: Junior/senior standing in the major.
-
3.00 Credits
A calculusbased introduction to probability and statistics. Topics include graphical techniques for data analysis (histograms, stem&leaf displays, box plots) , set theory, principles of counting, sample spaces, discrete and continuous probability distributions, probability functions, random variables, moment-generating functions, statistical inference (point estimation, decision-making based on confidence intervals/hypothesis testing) . Prerequisite: MATH 0106.
-
2.00 Credits
Designed to introduce the prospective early childhood, elementary, and special education school teacher to the teaching of mathematics. An activity-based format will be used to create a learning environment that fosters an exploration of the processes of mathematics. Emphasis will be placed on the role and use of manipulatives in a laboratory setting that encourages the development of fundamental concepts in mathematics. Topics may include: the inductive and deductive processes, measurement, graphing, cognitive development theory, the learning cycle, discussion of innovative projects, state and national frameworks, techniques for assessment, number and arithmetic operations, patterns, variables, modeling and geometry. Three contact hours per week, including substantial laboratory/activity time. Prerequisite: Mathematics and science courses required for early childhood, elementary, and special education licensure, or permission of instructor.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Students will work individually with a professor on a project or activity relating to current innovations in mathematics or mathematics education. Potential sources for study include: evaluation of innovative textual materials, trends in media and technology development, evaluation of software, development of laboratory materials, attendance at professional conferences, review and analysis of journal articles, and the presentation of reports on individual and institutional research activities. Course may be taken up to two times with the permission of the department chair. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
capstone experience for senior mathematics majors which unifies many areas of the undergraduate curriculum and serves as a right of passage into the community of mathematicians. The curriculum is topical in nature and varies by course offering. Topics studied are of contemporary importance and are considered from their historical genesis through their current role in the ongoing development of the field of mathematics. Prerequisite: Senior standing in mathematics or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 - 15.00 Credits
Internship in mathematics for full-time, upper level mathematics majors. Prerequisites: Junior/senior standing and dept. permission.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Independent study of topics in mathematics under careful faculty supervision. Intended for capable students to broaden their mathematics program or to gain depth in a particular area of interest. Prerequisite: permission of instructor and department Chair.
-
3.00 Credits
An overview involving the study of the content and evolution of African American historical experiences, cultural expression, and political and economic struggles. Topics to be considered include the construction of race, slavery and Jim Crow, the fight for citizenship rights, and literary and musical traditions.
-
