3.00 Credits
An exploration of a wide range of mathematical applications to nursing and other health sciences. Topics include ratio and proportion, dimensional analysis, systems of measurement, calculations involving solutions and dilutions, medication and dosages. Medical applications in other areas of mathematics will also be explored; these may include set theory, arithmetic and geometric sequences, graphing, functions and formulas, exponential growth, logic and analogies, angle measurement applications, and mathematical analysis in medical journal publications. Critical thinking skills for solving problems that arise in the health care professions will be emphasized. While there is no prerequisite, a working knowledge of arithmetic operations using whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percents is expected.
-
3.00 Credits
An examination of the collection, organization, analysis and interpretation of data in the context of applications from such fields as business, education, political science, economics, psychology, sociology, nutrition and medicine. The importance of experimental design and sampling techniques are studied and stressed throughout the course. Elementary probability theory is introduced as well as the following theoretical distributions: binomial, normal, Student’s t, and chi-square. Linear regression techniques and correlation analysis are used to study bivariate populations. An algebra background is required as well as a scientific or statistical calculator. This course does not count for the mathematics major or minor.
-
3.00 Credits
A basic algebra review of exponents, complex fractions, factoring, linear and quadratic equations, and inequalities. Functions are examined in depth both from a definitional and graphical perspective. Exponential and logarithmic functions, their graphs, and applications are reviewed/introduced. Basic trigonometric functions and identities are covered as well as their applications. The course is designed as a preparation for calculus. A TI-83 or higher graphing calculator is required.
-
3.00 Credits
Differential calculus: A brief review of precalculus topics, limits, continuity and the derivative with applications. A TI-83 or higher graphing calculator is required.
-
3.00 Credits
Integral calculus: A study of the definite and indefinite integral with applications; inverse functions with emphasis on exponential and logarithmic functions and applications; antidifferentiation techniques; approximate integration; and improper integrals. A TI-83 or higher graphing calculator required. Prerequisite: MAT 141.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides elementary education majors with experiences in becoming independent problem solvers while providing a solid foundation for teaching early mathematics. Topics include set theory, systems of numeration, number theory, properties of whole numbers, rational numbers, and real numbers, estimation, beginning geometry and measurement. Collaborative learning, discovery and refinement of presentation skills are stressed through in-class experiences. Traditional mathematical content is covered in the context of developing student competence with respect to the abilities outlined in the five process standards found in Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2000): problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, connections and representation. A student must be a declared elementary education major or have permission of the instructor to take this course.

3.00 Credits
A calculus based examination of the collection, organization, analysis and interpretation of data in the context of applications from such fields as business, education, political science, economics, psychology, sociology, nutrition and medicine. The importance of experimental design and sampling techniques are studied and stressed throughout the course. Elementary probability theory and combinatorics are introduced as well as the following theoretical distributions: binomial, normal, Student’s t, and chi-square. Linear regression techniques and analysis of variance are also discussed. A TI-83 calculator or higher is required. Prerequisite: MAT 142.
-
3.00 Credits
Further applications of the integral are studied including parametric and polar coordinates; infinite sequences and series; and an introduction to three-dimensional analytic geometry and vectors. Prerequisite: MAT 142.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of partial derivatives and multiple integrals with applications. Vector calculus. Prerequisite: MAT 211.
-
3.00 Credits
(Cross-listed as Computer Information Systems 224) Provides work at the advanced level in number systems for computer arithmetic, sets and logic, combinatorics, probability, relations and functions and Boolean Algebra. Offered in alternate years. Prerequisites: MAT 142, CIS135.
