3.00 Credits
This is the first part of a year-long sequence that integrates the study of Precalculus with the study of Calculus I. This first semester includes a review of functions, including polynomial and rational functions, limits, differentiation of algebraic functions, and applications of differentiation. Graphing calculators are used to explore properties of functions and to facilitate computations. Prerequisite: complete University's Directed Self- Placement process, or grade of C or better in MA 095. Liberal Arts Core/University Requirements Designation: MT. ( 4)

3.00 Credits
This is the second part of a year-long sequence that integrates the study of Precalculus with the study of Calculus I. This second semester begins with an introduction to integration and continues to apply the study of differentiation and integration to exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Graphing calculators are used to explore properties of functions and to facilitate computations. Completion of this course is equivalent to completion of MA 181. Prerequisite: grade of C or better in MA 171. ( 4)
-
3.00 Credits
Emphasizes separate visual, analytical, and numerical approaches to the fundamental ideas of elementary differential and integral calculus. Topics include differentiation and applications of the derivative, as well as integration and antidifferentiation. Graphing calculators are used to explore properties of functions and to facilitate computations. Prerequisite: complete University's Directed Self-Placement process. Liberal Arts Core/University Requirements Designation: MT. ( 4)
-
3.00 Credits
A continued study of differential and integral calculus of a single variable. Topics include techniques of integration, applications of the definite integral, improper integrals, and infinite sequences and series. Graphing calculators and computer algebra software are used to explore properties of functions and to facilitate computations. Prerequisite: complete University's Directed Self-Placement process, or a grade of C or better in MA 172 or MA 181. Liberal Arts Core/University Requirements Designation: MT. ( 4)

3.00 Credits
This weekly seminar is intended for Mathematics majors and minors. Includes lectures on interesting mathematical topics and careers in mathematics. Students will plan and give several small presentations and perhaps partner with other students for larger presentations on material of interest. Offered fall semester only. Corequisite: MA 261. ( 1)
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to real vector spaces, linear transformations, matrices, determinants, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors. The course uses computer algebra software and emphasizes applications. Offered spring semester, odd-numbered years, only. Prerequisite: complete University's Directed Self-Placement process, or a grade of C or better in MA 181 or MA 261. ( 3)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of multivariable calculus. Includes elementary threedimensional geometry, vector-valued functions, partial differentiation, multiple integration, and computations using Green's and Stokes' theorems. Students are introduced to theappropriate use of computer algebra software to create threedimensional graphs and to perform difficult numerical integration. Offered fall semester, odd-numbered years, only. Prerequisite: complete University's Directed Self-Placement process, or a grade of C or better in MA 182. ( 4)
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to proof techniques using the many methods of proof that arise in number theory. This course takes a formal look at the properties of the integers and includes topics such as congruencies, quadratic reciprocity, and solution of Diophantine equations. Offered spring semester, even-numbered years, only. Prerequisite: a grade of C or better in MA 260 and MA 261. ( 3)
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces basic discrete mathematical ideas, many of which were developed in the late 20th century to solve problems in computer science. Topics include elementary logic, Boolean algebras and combinatorial circuits, number systems, sets, counting, elementary probability, and an introduction to graphs and trees. Prerequisite: a grade of C or better in a college-level Mathematics course, complete University's Directed Self-Placement process with placement into MA 181, or permission of the instructor. Liberal Arts Core/University Requirements Designation: MT. ( 3)
-
3.00 Credits
A companion course to MA 260 for Mathematics majors and minors, MA 261 supplements the introduction to mathematical logic in MA 260 with primers on elementary proofs and mathematical induction. Corequisite: MA 260. ( 1)
