An interdisciplinary inquiry into the roots of violence and nonviolence, this course will make use of historical, psychological, biological, and spiritual perspectives. Many of the questions we will address will have individual as well as societal and cultural resonance. Among them are: Why have wars been so prevalent and powerfully appealing in human history? Is peace just the absence of war or is it something more? What are the cognitive and emotional foundations for the expression of peace and harmony as compared with conflict? Specific areas of focus will include World War I, Gandhi in South Africa and India, and World War II. Meets Part III of the GECC.

3.00 Credits
This course provides basic mathematical literacy and competence in solving problems involving operations with the real numbers and elementary algebra. The instruction includes such topics as basic operations, algebraic expressions, equations, inequalities, problem solving, percentages, graphing, polynomials, and factoring. The course provides 3 credits on the transcript, but these may not be counted toward the 120 credits required for graduation.
-
3.00 Credits
This course offers a review of the fundamental concepts of algebra and an introduction to functions. The instruction includes such topics as exponents, radicals, inequalities, absolute value, scientific notation, variation, factoring, linear and quadratic equations, systems of equations, functions and graphs. This course prepares students for the study of pre-calculus. Meets Part I.B. of the GECC. (Shared course in VSC)
-
3.00 Credits
In this course students do extensive problem-solving in groups, studying problems from a variety of areas, develop their skills at writing about mathematical ideas and problems and concepts, and research the lives and contributions of famous mathematicians. This is all done in a "user-friendly" environment which emphasizes the development of individual strengths and skills and reduces math anxiety. Topics include: the uses and limitations of inductive and deductive reasoning; different types of number sequences and their uses; the basic concepts of functions and graphing and the use of the TI-83 graphing calculator; and types of symmetry, culminating in a study of mathematical mosaics and regular and semi-regular polyhedra. For students with a documented learning disability in mathematics, MAT-1070 may count as one of the two courses in mathematics required under the Fundamental Skills component of the GECC. (Offered as circumstances warrant.)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is intended to expand students' abilities to apply mathematics and logical reasoning in everyday life. Topics will include reading and interpreting graphs and tables, descriptive statistics, math of finance, estimation, and others. Meets Part I.B. of the GECC.

3.00 Credits
Mathematics is a discipline about thinking; to a large extent, it is not about "numbers" at all. It is an art form that has a rich history stretching literally thousands of years; a history not only of solving puzzles, but of deciding which puzzles were worth the attention of the many scholars who attempted to solve them. This course seeks to examine some of the greatest "puzzles" of mathematics while putting them into a historical context. We will study some of the greatest mathematical ideas put forth by the human mind. This is a first-year seminar course and meets the First-Year Seminar requirement of the GECC. (Offered as circumstances warrant.)

3.00 Credits
A study of the functions used in calculus, including the exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions. Meets Part I.B. of the GECC. (Shared course in VSC)
-
4.00 Credits
A review of analytical geometry and introduction to the calculus of one variable. Topics include limits, derivatives of algebraic and transcendental functions, rates of change, optimization, curve sketching, elements of integration of algebraic and transcendental functions, area, volume, and practical applications in many fields. Meets Part I.B. of the GECC. (Shared course in VSC)
