Topics include but are not limited to: convergence of information producing organizations, data smog, doublespeak, information anxiety, information ethics, "it's an ad, ad,world," media bias, mediated reality, mediated voyeurism, push technology, misinformation, disinformation, rhetoric vs. reason, customizing information and the Internet/Web as content providers.
-
3.00 Credits
Concepts and techniques associated with pre-algebra mathematics. Topics include: arithmetic of fractions, decimals, proportions, and percents and an introduction to signed number operations. This course will emphasize both skill development and an application of these skills to real world situations. NOT open to students who have completed MAT 073. Prerequisite: whole number arithmetic.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides learning reinforcement for students enrolled in the areas of arithmetic, elementary algebra, or intermediate algebra. Both mathematical skills and applications will be emphasized. Students may enroll in this course only with a math diagnostician's recommendation. This course will be offered in a workshop format as needed or as requested by other disciplines requiring math skills (i.e. Nursing, health related professions, Economics).
-
3.00 Credits
( 6EQ) This course is designed for students who need to review arithmetic skills and gain an understanding of beginning algebra concepts. It is especially appropriate for pre-health students. Topics include fractions and mixed numbers, decimals, ratio/proportions, percents, metric system, real number systems, algebraic operations, linear equations and inequalities, coordinate systems, systems of equations, polynomials and factoring. Students may not take both MAT 086 and any of MAT 079/087/088. Prerequisite: Knowledge of whole number arithmetic.
-
3.00 Credits
Concepts and techniques associated with beginning algebra. Topics include: Real number systems, algebraic operations, linear equations, coordinate systems, powers and roots, polynomials and factoring. Prerequisite: Arithmetic skills.
-
3.00 Credits
( 4EQ) This course is designed for students who have no previous exposure to algebra. The skills and applications component provides students with an opportunity to practice newly acquired skills and use these skills to solve practical problems. Topics include: Real number systems, algebraic operations, linear equations, coordinate systems, powers and roots, polynomials and factoring. Prerequisite: Arithmetic skills or students with no prior knowledge of Algebra.
-
4.00 Credits
The first course in a two-semester sequence of intermediate algebra and trigonometry with technical applications. Topics include trigonometric functions, vectors, units of measurement and approximate numbers, fundamental concepts of algebra, functions and graphs, systems of linear equations, determinants, factoring and fractions, quadratics, variation and geometry (areas and perimeters of common plane figures, volumes and surface areas of common solids). The scientific calculator will be used throughout the course. Open to Telecommunications Technology majors only. This course is not applicable as an elective for any other degree granting program. Prerequisite: Beginning Algebra or Equivalent.
-
4.00 Credits
The second course in a two-semester sequence of intermediate algebra and trigonometry with technical applications. Topics include exponents and radicals, exponential and logarithmic functions, ratio, proportion and variation, oblique triangles, graphs of sine and cosine functions, complex numbers and their applications inequalities, introduction to statistics and a non-rigorous introduction to calculus. A scientific calculator and computer software will be used throughout the course. Open to Telecommunications Technology majors only. This course is not applicable as an elective for any other degree granting program. Prerequisites: MAT 106.
-
3.00 Credits
The purpose of this course is to improve problemsolving skills and extend students' understanding of the nature of mathematics. The topics include: problem-solving, number theory, Euclidean and Non-Euclidean geometry, the concept of infinity, probability and optional topics chosen from topology, chaos, and fractals. Not open to Math/Science students. This course is primarily for liberal arts students entering fields of study which do not have a strong mathematical emphasis. Prerequisite: Beginning Algebra or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
The purpose of this course is to show a direct connection between mathematics and concrete real-life problems. Topics will include voting theory, routing problems (graph theory), and either scheduling, fair division or apportionment. This is a course primarily for liberal arts students entering fields of study which do not have a strong mathematical emphasis. Participation in group work is required for classroom sections. Not open to Math/Science students. Prerequisite: Beginning Algebra or equivalent.
