3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Senior standing. Management majors or sport management majors only. The course provides students with an enhanced understanding of current perspectives on leadership and managing teams. Key learning outcomes focus on understanding and problem-solving applications associated with: planning and organizing team projects; motivating team members; facilitating decision making in team situations; providing direction to a project team; expressing ideas and opinions in a team environment; responding and providing feedback to team members; managing intra-team conflict; providing written feedback on performance to team members. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: One year of secondary school algebra. This is a review of the fundamentals of high school algebra designed for students who need a review in preparation for MATH 111 Analysis for Business and Economics I. May not be counted toward the general college mathematics requirement; may be taken for credit only as a general elective. Offered on demand. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Successful performance on the Western New England College placement test. This course is the first of a two-semester sequence in mathematics that satisfies the mathematics requirement for prospective elementary teachers. Prospective elementary teachers are introduced to the content of the elementary mathematics curriculum as well as some of the teaching methods used at the elementary level. The real number system is studied in depth. Topics include an examination of whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers with an emphasis on place value and the associated operations. Topics from numeration systems, number theory, and set theory are also developed. Problemsolving techniques and appropriate use of technology are integrated throughout the course. Offered in the fall semester. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MATH 107 or permission of the instructor. This course is a continuation of MATH 107. A further study of the real number system, it focuses on exponents, decimals, and irrational numbers. Areas such as algebra, geometry, probability, and statistics are studied within the context of the elementary curriculum. Offered in the spring semester. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Two years of algebra and one year of geometry. This is an overview of the algebra and trigonometry needed for analytic geometry and calculus and is designed for students who need a review before taking calculus. Topics include basic algebra, functions and graphs, radicals and exponents, trigonometric functions, identities, and equations. TI-83 calculator is required. Offered in the fall semester. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Successful performance on the Western New England College placement test. This course covers modeling with singlevariable functions in addition to a study of calculus as a method of optimization. Topics include fitting curves to data as well as linear, quadratic, and exponential functions with applications to supply, demand, cost, revenue, and profit. A brief study of integral calculus as it applies to probability distributions is also included. Emphasis is on the problem-solving approach with use throughout of the graphing calculator and a spreadsheet program. TI-83 Calculator is required. Offered fall and spring semesters. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MATH 111. A continuation of MATH 111, this course considers modeling with multi-variable functions. Topics include compound interest (both discrete and continuous), present value (both discrete and continuous), systems of linear equations, break-even analysis, Markov Chains, linear programming, and descriptive statistics. A brief study of optimization of multi-variable functions using calculus is also included. TI-83 Calculator is required. Offered fall and spring semesters. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a survey of some contemporary applications of mathematics. Topics, which may vary each year, will be chosen from among the following: voting theory, weighted voting systems, fair division, apportionment, probability, Euler circuits, Hamilton circuits, minimum network problems, Fibonacci numbers, the golden ratio, and fractal geometry. Students who have successfully completed MATH 116 cannot receive credit for this course. Offered in the fall semester. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is intended to satisfy two objectives. One objective is to learn some of the methods that mathematics uses to solve problems. The areas of mathematics to be considered may include logic, algebra, geometry, number theory, counting (sometimes referred to as combinatorics), probability, graph theory, etc. Also considered will be the role of proof in mathematics. A second objective is to learn how a mathematical approach can assist in the general endeavor of solving problems. The approach includes: stating problems clearly and concisely, determining what is important and what is irrelevant, making conjectures, justifying conclusions using logic, etc. Various problem-solving strategies will be introduced and applied. Offered in the fall and spring semester. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is intended to help students discover what mathematics is truly about. Mathematics is not a set of formulas to be applied to a list of problems. Rather the goal is to show students that mathematics is creative, powerful, and artistic and to expose students to many techniques of thought that can be used to solve problems, analyze situations, and sharpen the way they look at the world. The course will emphasize basic strategies of thought and analysis as they apply to real life situations. The course will cover topics from number theory, geometry, topology, chaos, fractals, and probability. Through analyzing problems from these areas, students will be exposed to the power of mathematics and its inexorable quest for elegance, symmetry, order, and grace. Offered on demand. 3 cr.
