3.00 Credits
This course is designed to give the liberal arts student, as well as other interested students, an introduction to some mathematical topics usually reserved for specialists. Topics are selected on the basis of their role in solving mathematical problems. Such topics include probability and descriptive statistics, graph theory, cryptography, game theory, chaos, and problems relating to the environment. Classroom lectures and discussions cover the basic theories. These are followed by writing assignments which form an essential component of the course. Not open to math majors without the permission of the Department Chairperson. Prerequisite: Completion of the Basic College Mathematics Competency Requirement.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed for prospective elementary teachers. Those mathematical concepts which schoolteachers will be using are stressed. Topics include: Numeration systems, algorithms and estimation for the arithmetic operations on different sets of numbers, number theory, and probability concepts. Use of manipulatives and relevant technology including graphing calculators and computer software may be integrated into the course. Three lecture hours per week. Not open to students who have received credit for MAT123A. Prerequisite: Completion of the Basic College Mathematics Competency Requirement.
