4.00 Credits
4 credits. Every semester Prepares students with limited backgrounds in high school mathematics for calculus. Topics include: absolute values and inequalities; the properties of functions; graphs; logarithms; fractional exponents; trigonometry. Placement exam at the beginning of each term determines whether MAT 1100 is necessary as a prerequisite.

4.00 Credits
4 credits. Eve ry semester An introduction to traditional and modern concepts in programming. Traditional concepts covered include: variables, expressions, data representation, logic, arrays, functions, and pseudo-random numbers. The modern concepts include graphical constructs and event-driven programming. This course uses familiar games as projects, because implementing games requires an understanding of important programming concepts and attention to the human-computer interface. Offered as
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits. Every semester The basic concepts of the differential and integral calculus. Focus is on the applicability of these topics to an array of problems. The first course in a three-semester series. Prerequisite: MAT 1150 or equivalent
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits. Spring A continuation of MAT 1500. Topics include: differentiation and integration of logarithmic, exponential, and inverse trigonometric functions; techniques of integration; arc length; infinite series; improper integrals. Applications include work, growth, and decay problems and volumes of solids of revolution. Prerequisite: MAT 1500
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits. Eve ry semester An introduction to problem solving, using computers. Emphasis is on learning to program in Java, including the study of syntax, semantics, logical structures, and object-oriented programming. The idea of algorithm development, formulating problems, and finding methods for computer solutions is discussed. Experience is acquired through hands-on labs and several programming assignments in Java. Offered as NME 1520 for new media majors. Prerequisite: MAT 1150 or equivalent
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits. Spring Begins with the development of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry in Egypt, Babylon, and Greece from approximately 2000 B.C. to 300 A.D. It continues with a brief look at Islamic mathematics, emphasizing the value of Hindu- Arabic numerals and efficient algorithms for basic arithmetical operations. The subsequent explosion of European mathematics, culminating with the calculus and its impressive effects on technology, is also covered. Some attention is paid to the influence of mathematics on philosophy, science, and art. Prerequisite: High school algebra and geometry or equivalent
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits. Spring A continuation of MAT 1520. Covers such topics as arrays, recursion, applets, and threads, while expanding students’ working knowledge of object-oriented programming in Java and event-driven programming using Swing. The course also introduces other concepts central to the field, including data representation, algorithms, complexity, computer architecture, Boolean logic and data structures, and some of the social, legal, and ethical issues related to computers. Prerequisite: MAT 1520 or equivalent
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits. Fall Statistics are used everywhere in the modern world. Polls influence government policy decisions. Clinical trials determine approvals of drugs for human use. DNA matching, based on statistical tests, is used as evidence in court. Samples are taken in countless fields to learn about larger populations. This course covers: descriptive statistics, entailing measures of central tendency and dispersion, linear regression, and Pearson correlation; and inferential statistics, including normal distributions and hypothesis testing. Prerequisite: High school algebra skills
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits. Special topic (offered irregularly) An introduction to basic concepts in computer hardware, with a focus on personal computers. Topics include: historical trends; Boolean logic and computer arithmetic; organization (CPU, cache, memory, bus, peripherals); instruction set design; interrupts and exceptions; performance metrics. Students become familiar with the critical components of all computers, including embedded devices, and build a computer from standard parts. Prerequisite: MAT 1520 or equivalent
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits. Eve ry semester Interactive online media like the World Wide Web are revolutionizing the way people communicate. Students who have some familiarity with computers and the Internet are introduced to tools and techniques for creating interactive documents. Topics include: HTML authoring, Cascading Style Sheets, scripting languages, interaction techniques, data retrieval, and incorporating sound, video, and images in documents. Offered as NME 2730 for new media majors.
