A course designed primarily for students majoring in elementary education. MA2020 covers fundamental theory, historical context and underlying logic of the mathematics taught in elementary school. Content is intended to complement the reccomendations in the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards 2000, and emphasis is placed on problem solving and communication in mathematics. The syllabus includes topics from elementary combinatories, probability, statistics, geometry and measurment. Offered every semester. Prerequisite: MA1020
-
4.00 Credits
Basic concepts of mathematical logic and set theory, propositional calculus, predicate calculus, algebra of sets, functions and relations, methods of proof, including mathematical induction. Offered every semester. Prerequisite: MA2090 or equivalent.

The course focuses on essential skills in critical thinking, problem solving and decision making. As part of a student's general education, applications of quantitative methods to solving real -life problems are explored. Skills examined include pattern recognition, graphing, deductive logic, statistical inference, probabilistic reasoning, introduction to modeling. Topics include ethics in decision making, personal value systems, consumer finance, the language of advertising, energy and environmental issues at the community and global level. Offered every spring. Prerequisite: MA1020 or permission of instructor.

4.00 Credits
The course is a survey of the history of mathematics from the beginnings through the 19th Century. Special attention will be given to the interactions between culture and mathematics with emphasis on topics germane to the high-school curriculum. Students will examine each mathematical development in the context of the culture in which it arose. The students will learn that, although the truths of mathematics are necessary, their discovery is both an individual endeavor and a cultural enterprise. . The following topics will be covered: 1). Mesopotamian, Egyptian and Hellenistic mathematics, Non-European mathematics during the "dark ages". 2).Indian subcontinent, China, the Middle East, Mesoamerica. 3). early renaissance mathematics: Fibonacci, the Treviso arithmetic, bookkeeping, Renaissance geometry. 4). The birth of calculus: Descartes, Fermat, Leibnitz, and Newton. 5). The flowering of culculus: Euler, the Bernouilli brothers. 6). The origin of modern concepts of function (Fourier, Cauchy) and of number (Cantor). 7) The social and global implications of science and technology, and the impact of science, culture, and society on one another. . The NCATE/NCTM requires History of Mathematics. . The course satisfies components of General Education in the area of major culture and history. We are submitting this course for approval by the General Education and by the Teacher Education Department in the domain of Major Culture, History of Art History. . This course stresses "the social and global implications of science and technology, and the impact of science, culture, and society on one another". This course will examine each mathematical development in the context of the culture in which it arose from, so the students will learn that, although the truths of mathematics are necessary, their discovery is both an individual endeavor and a cultural enterprise.

Designed for prospective teachers in the elementary schools, this course has a three-fold purpose; to provide insights into the basic nature of number theory and elementary mathematics, to provide knowledge and experience in the principal methods of reasoning used in mathematics, and to lay a strong foundation in those content areas of mathematics experienced in grades K-6. Offered every semester. Prerequisite: MA1020.
