4.00 Credits
The first semester of the Traditions of the Western Heritage core sequence. The course is designed to provide students instruction and practice in writing expository essays. Additionally, the course seeks to cultivate each student's understanding of the meaning and value of a Christian liberal arts education through the study of ideas, themes, and texts that have influenced Western culture. Students explore works and culture from ancient Greece through the Reformation. Emphasis on careful reading, effective writing, critical thinking, and ethical awareness surround each topic of study. Supplemental assignments and activities outside of the traditional classroom are required. (4 s.h.)
-
3.00 Credits
The second semester of the Traditions of the Western Heritage core sequence. While dedicated to the same fundamental objectives and emphases as its counterpart,Western Heritages II builds on the experiences of the first semester through a study of more modern works and themes, including inquiries into the Reformation, the Renaissance, romanticism, nationalism, the civil rights movement, and postmodernism. The writing component of Western Heritages II is centered on each student's preparation of a research paper. Supplemental assignments and activities outside of the traditional classroom are required. Prerequisite: LAR 111. (4 s.h.)
-
3.00 Credits
Building on the foundations of inquiry and thought developed in Western Heritages I and II, this interdisciplinary seminar focuses on the nature of the academic adventure. A variety of readings, lectures and presentations will address historical dilemmas of the human mind as well as questions arising from contemporary life such as: "How do we know?" "What is faith?" "Who and what are w"What is ethical?" Students will be expected to read extensively,carry out independent research, and further develop communicative skills. Prerequisites: LAR112 and selection as seminar participant. (3 s.h.)
-
3.00 Credits
An interactive study of the subtle concept of how to solve a math problem. Problems from all areas and levels of difficulty will be introduced and offered during this seminar. Topics will include familiar high-school-level mathematics such as algebra, trigonometry and geometry, but a greater richness and depth of the material will be uncovered during the exploration of solving mathematical problems. Often neglected topics such as probability, number theory and combinatorics will be explored as well. Opportunities for studying advanced topics requiring knowledge of calculus will be available, but not expected. Students will practice writing cogent solutions to problems in mathematics and will have an opportunity to present their results as well. Prerequisite: Interest in Mathematics. Offered every fall. Note: This course may be repeated for additional elective credit (but a student may not receive credit for the course more than four times). (1 s.h.)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is for students wishing to review the fundamental concepts of elementary algebra before taking MAT 112. Offered every fall. (3 s.h.)
-
3.00 Credits
Study of algebra, including polynomial and rational functions, trigonometry, exponentials, and logarithms. This course is foundational to many areas of study including the natural sciences, business, and various aspects of the social sciences. Prerequisite: MAT 111 or two years of high school algebra and one year of high school geometry. Offered every fall and summer. (4 s.h.)
-
3.00 Credits
Study of algebra including polynomial and rational functions. This course plus MAT 114 is equivalent to MAT 112. Prerequisite: MAT 111 or two years of high school algebra and one year of high school geometry. Offered every fall, Interim and summer. (2 s.h.)
-
3.00 Credits
Study of exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions. This course plus MAT 113 is equivalent to MAT 112. Prerequisite: MAT 113 or equivalent. Offered every spring and summer. (2 s.h.)
-
4.00 Credits
An examination of the characteristics and value of the mathematical enterprise, especially as it relates to other areas of human inquiry. Fundamental concepts from algebra, probability, discrete mathematics, and the axiomatic method are developed as a base for analytic reasoning. Modeling and abstraction are then used to address issues drawn from social choice, operations research, the humanities, and the natural sciences. Throughout the course, mathematical argument and construction are studied and practiced. This course is well suited for students interested in studying math in this rich context. Students who require the technical language of college algebra or calculus should take those courses instead of, or in addition to, this course. Offered every semester. (4 s.h.)
-
3.00 Credits
A one semester introductory, applications-oriented calculus course primarily intended for students of business or the social sciences. The emphases will include a more conceptual, less axiomatic, foundation of calculus. As such, it is not intended for students majoring in the mathematical sciences. The course will build upon a careful study of calculus applications, particularly those originating in a more complete understanding of business and economics. The course will have a "real world" orientation withless abstraction than that of traditional theory-oriented courses. The course begins by reviewing algebraic techniques and developing functions. This course should also serve as preparation for the national standardized exams required by many MBA programs. Prerequisite: MAT 112 or equivalent algebra course (no trigonometry required). Offered every spring. (3 s.h.)
