Calculus is the elegant language developed to model changes in nature and to formally discuss notions of the infinite and the infinitesimal. The universe is perceived and understood by observing changes and the derivative is the premier intellectual tool for grasping and precisely describing change. Topics include techniques of differentiation, the graphical relationship between a function and its derivatives, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Applications may include carbon dating archeological finds, modeling population growth and optimization. No previous experience with calculus is assumed. (Madani Naidjate)

3.00 Credits
The mathematical content is very similar to that of Math 101, but the natural connections between the techniques from Calculus I and microeconomics are emphasized. For example, the derivative from calculus is applied to the marginal analysis and optimization that are approached graphically in microeconomics. (Janice Sklensky) Connections: Conx 20004 The Calculus of Microeconomics
-
3.00 Credits
Taking the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus as a starting point, Calculus II explores the solution of definite integrals, and their applications, by both analytic and computational methods. These ideas provide a gateway to improper integrals and the careful study of infinite series. Additional topics include techniques of integration, numeric integration, volumes of revolution and Taylor series. (Janice Sklensky, Harrison Straley)

3.00 Credits
This course investigates mathematics in the context of some of its myriad connections with the art and architecture of various cultures past and present. Possible mathematical topics include systems of proportion, the development of the Golden Ratio by the ancient Greeks and its connection to Fibonacci numbers, the geometry of perspective, classifying different symmetries, non-Euclidean geometry and the fourth dimension, tessellations, and fractals. (Janice Sklensky) Connections: Conx 20025 The Math in Art and the Art of Math

3.00 Credits
Consciousness has been memorably described as a flashlight trying to illuminate itself. (Perhaps art is the human activity that best understands the surrounding darkness ) The edge of reason is the boundary between light and dark: the mathematics at the border between knowing and not-knowing. In this course, we'll use logic and reason to grapple with ideas and concepts that are literally beyond the reach of human imagination. The Edge of Reason is for anyone interested in understanding the mental models our minds make. While people who enjoy math are encouraged to take the course, the only prerequisites are an open mind, a big mouth, and an inquiring spirit. The payoffs are keener analytical abilities, a new way of looking at reality, a penchant for expressing the inexpressible and the ability to tolerate sleep deprivation. An intertwined co-requisite is Eng 243 taught by Michael Drout at the same time, on alternating days. This is a yearlong course consisting of one class each semester. By taking both semesters, students will attain the QA and AH designations and also fulfill a two-course Connections requirement. However, a student may enroll in only The Edge of Reason.

3.00 Credits
The mathematics behind coloring, drawing and design will be investigated and the art of coloring, drawing and design will aid in the study of other math topics. Topics include: African unicursal tracings, coloring maps, coloring graphs, symmetry, border patterns and tessellations. (Rochelle (Shelly) Leibowitz) Connections: Conx 20011 Communication through Art and Mathematics
-
3.00 Credits
Required of elementary education minors. Mathematical topics that appear in everyday life, with emphasis on problem solving and logical reasoning. Topics include ratios and proportion, alternate bases, number theory, geometry, graph theory and probability. (Rochelle (Shelly) Leibowitz, Harrison Straley) Connections: Conx 23015 Learning to Learn in Math and Science
-
3.00 Credits
Strongly recommended for social science students. This course aims to answer several profound questions: Given the impossibility of collecting complete data, how do we accurately answer questions about a large population of people, industrial products or mechanical devices How do we test interesting hypotheses which apply to a large group On each space flight, the Challenger had a one in 15 chance of a failure of a critical part-how do we understand a statement such as this The notions of confidence intervals, hypothesis testing and probability provide a framework for answering these and other questions. May not be counted toward the mathematics major.

3.00 Credits
Strongly recommended for science and graduate school-bound social science students. This course covers all the questions and tools of Math 141, plus a deeper look at probability, tests of significance, regression and ANOVA. May not be counted toward the mathematics major. (Michael Kahn) Connections: Conx 20063 Ecology: A Statistical Approach, Conx 20044 Mathematics of Chemical Analysis
