-
4.00 Credits
Study of elementary functions, their graphs and applications, including polynomial, rational, algebraic, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. This fast-paced course is designed as a review of the algebra and trigonometry needed in calculus. Core Course.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to calculus with an emphasis on problem solving and applications. Key concepts are presented graphically, numerically and algebraically, although the stress is on a clear understanding of graphs and tabular data. The course covers: algebraic, exponential and logarithmic functions, their properties and their use in modeling; the concepts of derivative and definite integral and their applications to marginal analysis, optimization and probability; examples of multivariable functions, partial derivatives and applications to optimization problems. Students are encouraged to have a graphing calculator. Credit for both MA 120 and MA 125 not allowed. Core Course.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to calculus with emphasis on the following key concepts: Limit of function; the derivatives of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions; applications of the logarithmic functions; applications of the derivative to curve sketching; optimization problems including examples in the physical/natural sciences and economics; introduction of the definite integral; Fundamental Theorem of Integral Calculus. Credit for both MA 120 and MA 125 not allowed. Core Course.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of MA 125. Techniques of symbolic and numerical integration; applications of the definite integral to geometry, physics, economics, and probability, indeterminate forms, improper integrals; introduction to differential equations; sequences and series; Taylor polynomials and Taylor series. Core Course.
-
1.00 Credits
This course gives an overview of modern mathematics and statistics from the point of view of the practitioners. The course is designed for majors in mathematics and statistics at all levels as well as those student who are considering mathematics or statistics as a major or minor area of study. Topics usually included are elements of geometry, algebra, analysis, methods of statistical inference, the role of the computer in the analytical sciences; these topics vary from semester to semester. This course cannot be taken for credit simultaneously with ST 150. NOTE: May be offered for Honors Credit.
-
3.00 Credits
An examination of some of the major ideas encountered in the teaching of elementary mathematics. Topics include introduction to problem solving, sets, relations, logic, numeration systems, elementary number theory, properties and operations for whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, and real numbers. NOTE: MA 201 does not fulfill graduation requirements for any curriculum other than College of Education.
-
3.00 Credits
Topics covered are those that a prospective elementary or middle school teacher should expect to encounter in the teaching of geometry in elementary or middle school. Topics include geometric shapes, measurement, triangle congruence and similarity, coordinate geometry, geometric transformations. NOTE: MA 202 does not fulfill requirements for any curriculum other than in College of Education.
-
