0.00 Credits
0 Credit Hours Fall/Spring/Sum Sems. This elementary algebra course introduces students to the concept of a function via numerical, graphical and algebraic representations. Operations with polynomials, rational expressions and radicals are explored in the context of functions. Linear equations and inequalities and Quadratic Equations are also studied. Students are introduced to data collecting and elementary formulations of models for data. An emphasis will be placed on problem solving skills. (3 hours lecture, 1 hour lab). Prerequisite: Fundamentals of Math I (MAT 098 with a grade of "C" or better) or Accuplacer placement.
-
3.00 Credits
3 Credit Hours Fall/Spring Sems. This is an introductory course in using mathematics as a basis for making logical decisions. The course will include the algebra of linear equations and inequalities and the solution of linear equations needed to solve linear programming problems geometrically. Other topics include set theory, matrices, basic statistics and the analysis of graphs. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Fundamentals of Math II (MAT 099 with a grade of "C" or better), or Accuplacer placement.

3.00 Credits
3 Credit Hours Fall/Spring Sems. This course will start with a review of basic algebra (factoring, solving linear equations and inequalities, etc) and will introduce various functions to include polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic and radical functions. Techniques of graphing these functions will also be explored. Additionally students will study systems of equations and sequences and series. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Fundamentals of Math II (MAT 099 with a grade of "C" or better), or Accuplacer placement.

3.00 Credits
3 Credit Hours Fall/Spring Sems. This course will examine the use of mathematics to solve contemporary problems, in particular real financial transactions. The concepts of algebraic manipulations of equations, exponential equations, logarithms and mathematical modeling will be emphasized. Students will analyze trends and current problems using graphs, spreadsheets, Internet resources, and financial equations. Course topics will include time value of money, present value and future value, simple and compound interest, ordinary annuities, sinking funds, amortization, stocks and investments. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: MAT 125 College Algebra or MAT 110 Modeling for Decision Making or appropriate Accuplacer placement.
-
3.00 Credits
3 Credit Hours Fall/Spring/Sum Sems. This course is devoted to the study of plane trigonometry. Formal topics include: solution of right and oblique triangles, trigonometric identities and equations, graphs of trigonometric functions, and applied problems. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: MAT 125 College Algebra or Accuplacer placement.
-
3.00 Credits
3 Credit Hours Fall/Spring Sems. This course will cover topics that prepare a student to study in many different technical venues. Topics covered will prepare the student for further work in more advanced math courses particularly the Calculus sequence. Topics that covered include a very brief review of algebra concepts, with a more in depth treatment of linear equations and inequalities, quadratic equations and inequalities, graphing and modeling basic functions to include polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric. Additionally students will study systems of equations, conic sections, analytic geometry, sequences, series, binomial expansion and an introduction to limits. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: MAT 125 College Algebra or Accuplacer placement.
-
3.00 Credits
3 Credit Hours Fall/Spring Sems. This is an introductory course in statistics, designed to familiarize the student with numerical and graphical data distributions; exploratory data analysis; correlation and linear regression; the normal and binomial probability distributions; confidence intervals and some hypothesis testing. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: MAT 125 College Algebra or MAT 110 Modeling for Decision Making or appropriate Accuplacer placement.
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credit Hours Fall/Spring Sems. In this introductory calculus course, students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of calculus. Students will gain an appreciation of the usefulness of calculus to a broad range of applications. The concept of a function, including polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric, the derivative, applications of differentiation and the definite integral will be covered. (4 hours lecture). Prerequisite: MAT 180 Pre-Calculus, or Accuplacer placement
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credit Hours Fall/Spring Sems. This course is a continuation of Calculus I (MAT 241). Students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of integral calculus and to introduce differential equations. By focusing on the ideas behind solving the problems, the student will be able to solve a broad range of problems. Definite and indefinite integrals and first-order separable differential equations and their applications will all be approached from the graphical, numerical and analytical points of view. (4 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Calculus I (MAT 241).
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credit Hours Fall/Spring Sems. This course is a continuation of Calculus II (MAT 242). Students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of multivariable calculus. Students will gain an appreciation of the possibilities for problem solving when freed from the constraints of modeling with one independent variable. Approximating functions with Taylor and Fourier series, vectors, partial derivatives, directional derivatives, gradients, the differential, methods of calculating multiple integrals, parametric curves and surfaces, vector fields, and their applications will all be approached from the graphical, numerical and analytical points of view. If time permits, line integrals, flux integrals, divergence and curl will be discussed. (4 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Calculus II (MAT 242).
