3.00 Credits
This course reviews many of the topics covered in a traditional first course in algebra. These topics include real numbers, linear equations, exponents and polynomials, linear graphs and linear systems. Quadratic expressions and solving quadratic equations by factoring are introduced. Although assessed for three credits, this course does not carry University credit.
-
3.00 Credits
This is course is designed for teachers who will be teaching in the elementary grades (1-9). The content of this course will reflect the Wisconsin State Guidelines and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Curriculum and Evaluation Standards. Students will study estimation, computation, number systems and number theory, geometry, measurement, probability, statistics, fractions, decimals, percents, number patterns and relationships, and algebra.
-
3.00 Credits
This course investigates the 1-9 mathematics content using problem solving and critical thinking strategies. Students will become familiar with the historical development of mathematics and current applications of math. Technology will be an integral part of this course. Prerequisite: B-or better in MT 102, passing the math section of the PPST.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a mathematics content course that is designed for teachers who will be teaching in Early Childhood Education. The content of this course will reflect the Wisconsin State Guidelines, the Wisconsin Model Academic Standards for Mathematics and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Curriculum and Evaluation Standards. Students will study mathematical processes, sets, functions, logic, whole numbers, integers, fractions, geometry, number theory and measurement and be expected to use appropriate math vocabulary. Students will also be immersed in various problem solving situations, both individually and cooperatively. Corequisite: CA 207, ECUE 211.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers a broader view of mathematics than computation. Topics include inductive and deductive reasoning, patterns in number sequences, systems of numbers, discussion of infinity, explorations in geometry, methods of counting, probability and statistics. The focus of this course is to view the nature of mathematics as an organized, beautiful body of thought. Prerequisite: High school algebra I or MT 095.
-
3.00 Credits
This course addresses such topics as solving and graphing linear equations and inequalities, quadratic equations and inequalities, and exponential and logarithmic equations. The concept of function is introduced as are conic sections. Prerequisite: ASSET placement.
-
3.00 Credits
Basic statistical methods will be discussed and practiced. Topics include displaying and describing distributions, measures of center and spread, correlation and linear regression, sampling and sampling distributions, the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, confidence intervals for proportions and means, testing hypotheses for proportions and means, and comparing two proportions and two means. Prerequisite: MT 115.
-
3.00 Credits
Mathematics and art are both very human endeavors, whose roots go back to prehistory. This course is intended for art and graphic design majors. The mathematical content of this course will be explicitly linked to important ideas in art and graphic design. Specific topics covered will include perspective, similar triangles, proportions, and the development of three-dimensional thinking; fractals, logarithms, and fractal dimension; Fibonacci numbers, the Golden Ratio, quadratic equations, and limits; and computer representation of art. Prerequisite: ART 101, art major.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an investigative study of the topics in algebra, trigonometry, and analytical geometry which are essential for students who will continue their study in calculus. The use of computers and graphing calculators are fundamentally integrated into the problem solving activities. Topics include simplifying and factoring expressions, solving equations; one-, two- and three-dimensional vectors; lines, planes and polygons; length, area and volume; representations and properties of trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential functions. Prerequisite: ASSET placement or MT 115.
-
4.00 Credits
Calculus is a transition course from lower-division courses to upper-division mathematics and computer science courses. Students will extend their experience with functions as they study the fundamental concepts of calculus limits, difference quotients and the derivative, Riemann sums and the definite integral, antiderivatives, indefinite integrals and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Students will review and extend their knowledge of trigonometry and basic analytic geometry. Important objectives of the calculus sequence are to develop and strengthen the students' problem-solving skills and to teach them to read, write, speak and think in the language of mathematics. In particular, students will learn how to apply the tools of calculus to a variety of problem situations. Prerequisite: Strong background in algebra and some familiarity with trigonometry (high school trigonometry and advanced algebra or MT 209) or ASSET placement.
