-
4.00 Credits
This is a course designed for students with a minimal background in algebra. Topics covered are: equations and inequalities, absolute value, functions and graphs, polynomials, rational expressions and radicals, and systems of equations and inequalities. Students will be expected to have access to a scientific calculator. This course may not transfer credit to another institution, dependent upon graduation requirements for particular programs and institutions as described in their catalogs.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a standard College Algebra course designed for students that have successfully completed Algebra I and Algebra II in high school. Topics covered are: polynomials, rational expression and radicals, equations and inequalities, absolute value, functions and graphs, rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, conic sections, matrices and systems of equations and inequalities. Students will be expected to have access to and use a graphing calculator. Prerequisite: an "A" or "B" grade in MATH 112, recommended by the Compass/ACT score, or permission of instructo
-
3.00 Credits
Beginning with concepts as basic as the difference between numbers and numerals, this course reviews mathematics principles and operations through trigonometry. The emphasis is on understanding mathematical principles rather than on rote memorization of techniques. Students will be introduced to the three kinds of calculator logic systems, how to identify which kind of logic any calculator uses, and how to enter problems to ensure that the answer is correct. This course also teaches direct measurements and calculated measurements (e.g., area, torque, speed, and flow rate). The course describes the basic kinds of metric measurement, the use of prefixes (kilo, centi, milli, etc.), and how and when to convert between metric and English measurement.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will employ the traditional rectangular coordinate system development of the trigonometric functions and later introduces the circular function development. Practical application (verbal problems) will be incorporated and used as motivation throughout the course. Students will be expected to have access to and use a graphing calculator. The class may be taken concurrently with MATH 150. Prerequisite: MATH 113, or MATH 110, or recommended by the Compass/ACT score, or permission of instructor.
-
5.00 Credits
This course combines College Algebra and Trigonometry and is designed as a pre-calculus course that will satisfy the general education requirement for College Algebra. Topics covered are: polynomials, rational expressions and radicals, equations and inequalities, absolute value, functions and graphs, rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions, identities and graphs, trigonometric equations, complex numbers and DeMoivre's Theorems, conic sections, matrices and systems of equations and inequalities. Students will be expected to have access to, and use graphing calculator. Prerequisite: an "A" or "B" grad in MATH 112, recommended by the Compass/ACT score, or permission of instruct
-
3.00 Credits
Designed for the students NOT planning to major in a field that requires advanced mathematical skills. Prepares students for the mathematics encountered in other college courses that use quantitative reasoning. Emphasis on developing critical thinking and quantitative reasoning skills needed to understand major issues in society.
-
3.00 Credits
Calculation techniques for descriptive statistics, normal distributions, confidence intervals, sample size, hypothesis testing, and correlation will be presented. The application problems make this course appropriate for psychology, sociology, business, computer science, biology, education, liberal arts, technology, social science, nursing and allied health care, economics, ecology, and agriculture. Each student will be required to have a hand held statistics calculator. Prerequisite: MATH 110 or 113.
-
5.00 Credits
This course is a study of topics in analytic geometry, functions (including the trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions), and limits. The theory and applications of the derivative and integral are then developed and applied. Prerequisites and/or co-requisites: MATH 113 and MATH 122 or permission of instructor.
-
5.00 Credits
This course is a study and practice with additional applications of integrals. Further development and applications of the exponential and logarithmic functions, differentiation and integration of inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions, and more advanced methods of integration are developed. Conic sections, translations and rotations, and polar coordinates are studied. Convergence and divergence of infinite series are included as well as parametric curves and two- dimensional vectors are also considered. Prerequisite: MATH 150.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide a foundation of theory for many of the concepts found in the current elementary and middle school mathematics classroom. This course will examine topics related to the Real Number system, such as set theory, relations and functions, probability theory, and statistics, all from a problem solving approach. The use of technology (e.g. graphing calculator, word processing, the Internet, Sympodium, etc.) as tools for problem solving and course communication will be an integral part of the course. Note: A grade of 'C' in this course is a prerequisite for Mathematics for Education II at Pittsburgh State University.
