3.00 Credits
This course covers concepts and skills of algebra including linear equations, functions, graphs, polynomials, factoring, rational expressions, radicals, and other topics. Prerequisite: Two years of high school math, including one year of algebra and one year of geometry or two years of integrated math. This course is appropriate for students who do not yet feel prepared to take MA 111, College Algebra or another higher level math course.
-
3.00 Credits
A course devoted to topics for liberal arts students emphasizing problem-solving. Topics covered may be sets and set logic, series and sequences and their application, graph theory, geometry, mathematics of finance, probability and statistics, number theory, or decision theory. Three or four of these topics will be covered during a semester. Prerequisite: A minimum of two years of high school math, including one year of algebra and one year of geometry or two years of integrated math. An appropriate course for students who are not required to take any other math for their majors.
-
3.00 Credits
College Algebra is a study of functions including linear and non-linear functions, inverse functions, and systems of equations. Graphing calculators are used to present topics and help solve problems throughout the course. Prerequisite: MA 100 or two years of algebra in high school or three years of integrated math in high school and a grade of A or B in the last math class taken. Credit cannot be earned for both MA 111 and MA 115.
-
3.00 Credits
(As needed) A study of the trigonometric functions, their inverses, graphs, and applications; analytic geometry including conic sections and polar coordinates. Graphing calculators are used to present topics and help solve problems throughout the course. Prerequisite: MA 111 or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Precalculus is the study of functions: polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric. Functions are examined through problem solving, graphing, and applications (with the aid of graphing calculators). Prerequisites: successful completion of at least two years of high school algebra or Intermediate Algebra. Prerequisite: MA 100 or two years of algebra in high school or three years of integrated math in high school and a grade of A or B in the last math class taken. Credit cannot be earned for both MA 111 and MA 115.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
As needed, to meet requirements that cannot be satisfied by means of the regular offerings.
-
3.00 Credits
A course for prospective elementary and middle school teachers with a focus on problem solving. Topics include the development of number systems, from whole numbers to real numbers. Other possible topics include geometry, measurement, statistics, and probability. Prerequisite: Two years of high school math (including one year of algebra and one year of geometry or two years of integrated math) or MA 100.
-
3.00 Credits
(As needed) An introduction to differential and integral calculus, this course is intuitive and the approach emphasizes applications. Although this is intended as a terminal course, the interested student may subsequently continue with the more rigorous and extensive MA 251, 252, and 253 sequence. Students may not receive credit for this course if they already have credit for MA 251. Prerequisite: MA 111 or the equivalent.
