The course will consider the mathematical ideas of particular significance in elementary and secondary school curricula: the development and introduction of Hindu-Arabic numerals, early computing devices, Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, etc. Ways in which the history of mathematics may be used to enhance the learning of mathematical concepts by students in the schools will also be examined.

4.00 Credits
This course covers a basic treatment of algebraic expressions, linear equations and inequalities, polynomial operations, factoring, systems of linear equations, radical and rational expressions, quadratic equations, and various application problems. Note: This course does not count towards the number of credits required for graduation in the College of Science and Technology.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed as an intermediate algebra course that bridges the topics covered in Math 0701 and Math 1021. This course covers the real number system, basic properties of real numbers, operations with fractional expressions, simplifying complex fractions, powers and roots, operations with radicals, graphing linear equations and inequalities, and factoring of polynomials.
Prerequisite:
Mathematics placement, a grade of C- or better in MATH 0701 (0045), or transfer credit for MATH 0701 (0045)

How can I tell if an e-mail message is really from my bank? If I do online banking, can other people see the information? Does playing the lottery make sense? Does it make sense to draw for an inside straight? How can polling results differ so much from the election --- or do they? Sometimes the winner of an election in the U.S. gets much less than 50% of the vote. Would it make sense to have a run-off in such cases? How long will the world’s oil last, assuming that we use more each year? How long will a million dollars last you, assuming it earns interest until you spend it? If you bought your text online, could someone tap into the Internet and get your credit card number when it’s transmitted? Why does the VIN on your car have so many digits? Note: This course fulfills the Quantitative Literacy (GQ) requirement for students under GenEd and a Quantitative Reasoning (QA or QB) requirement for students under Core. Students cannot receive credit for MATH 0823/0923 if they have successfully completed C+IN SC 0823/0923.
Prerequisite:
Mathematics placement, a grade of C- or higher in MATH 0701 (0045), or transfer credit for MATH 0701 (0045)

4.00 Credits
News stories, everyday situations, and puzzling vignettes will be used to illuminate basic math concepts. Learn probability, for example, by discussing the gambler’s fallacy and gambler’s ruin, the drunkard’s random walks, the Monty Hall problem, the St. Petersburg paradox, the hot hand, monkeys randomly typing on a typewriter, and many others. A similar approach involving estimation problems and puzzles will be taken in the units on basic numeracy and logic. Throughout the course, lectures and readings will examine the mathematical angles of stories in the news, suggesting fresh perspectives, questions, and ideas on current issues from google searches to the randomness of the iPod shuffle. Note: This course fulfills the Quantitative Literacy (GQ) requirement for students under GenEd and a Quantitative Reasoning (QA or QB) requirement for students under Core. Students cannot receive credit for MATH 0824 if they have successfully completed MATH 0924.

This course provides a firm foundation for the study of statistics in other fields. Although no one field is emphasized to the exclusion of others, applications are drawn from psychology, political science, exercise science, and other areas. Note: This course can be used to satisfy the university Core Quantitative Reasoning B (QB) requirement. Although it may be usable towards graduation as a major requirement or university elective, it cannot be used to satisfy any of the university GenEd requirements. See your advisor for further information.
Prerequisite:
MATH 0701 (0045) or MATH 0702 with a grade of C or higher
-
4.00 Credits
This is a course intended for students wishing to familiarize themselves with basic arithmetic and geometric concepts. Subjects include the real numbers, the decimal system, and fractions, elementary number theory (primes, gcd, lcm, rational and irrational numbers), and geometry (angles, triangles, polygons, polyhedra, circles, spheres, symmetry, congruence, and similarity).
Prerequisite:
Mathematics placement, a grade of C- or higher in MATH 0701 (0045), or transfer credit for MATH 0701 (0045)

3.00 Credits
Fundamentals of finite mathematics necessary for a business student to pursue statistics and other quantitatively oriented business courses. Topics and illustrations are specifically directed to applications in business and economics. Topics include algebraic concepts; linear, quadratic, polynomial and rational functions; logarithm and exponential functions; elementary matrix manipulations. Fitting of curves, interest rate calculations, present and future values of annuities are some of the specific applications. Use of a graphing calculator. Note: (1) Duplicate Course: Students cannot receive credit for Math 1018 if they have successfully completed Statistics 1001 (C011). (2) This course can be used to satisfy the university Core Quantitative Reasoning A (QA) requirement. Although it may be usable towards graduation as a major requirement or university elective, it cannot be used to satisfy any of the university GenEd requirements. See your advisor for further information.
