This course is a one semester course covering the necessary topics in algebra and trigonometry that will provide the student with the skills necessary to be successful in MAT-1420 Technical Mathematics. It is designed as a bridge for qualified stucents who have completed MAT-1210, MAT-1221 as a way to advance to MAT-1420 Technical Mathematics, or pre-calculus. It covers all the topics covered in MAT-1111 and MAT- 1112 Prerequisite: Placement
-
5.00 Credits
fall/spring The course stresses the relation of mathematics to engineering applications and development of an appreciation of the importance of precision in mathematical thought. It covers use of the graphing calculator, solution of linear and quadratic equations, exponents and radicals, logarithms, exponential functions, sine and cosine laws, vectors, operations with imaginary and complex numbers, trigonometric identities and equations, and graphs of trigonometric functions. 5 hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: Placement level 4.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of selected topics and applications of mathematics. Topics include: algebraic expressions, linear equations and inequalities, algebraic equations in one, two and three variables, quadratic equations and right angle trigonometry. The use of the graphing calculator is integrated into the course. 4 hours of lecture per week. Recommended prior learning: basic algebra and basic geometry skills. Students must take a math assessment for placement purposes prior to registration. Prerequisite: Placement level 4.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of the topics of Technical Mathematics, Part I. 4 hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: MAT-1421.
-
4.00 Credits
fall/spring Students who have shown exceptional mathematical ability may be placed into Calculus as their initial mathematics course at Vermont Tech. If this course is completed successfully, then prior requisite courses for Calculus will be waived. A presentation of basic concepts of plane analytical geometry and calculus is given. Topics include differentiation and integration of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions with emphasis on technical applications. 4 hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: MAT-1420, MAT-1113, or Placement level 5.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the basic ideas and techniques of probability and statistics. It is designed to prepare students to interpret quantitative information and to make statistical decisions. Topics include: descriptive statistics, probability, characteristics of the normal distribution, mean and standard deviation, and steps in hypothesis testing. 3 hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: MAT-1210, MAT-1221, MAT-1420, or Placement level 3.
