4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits), Spring (4 credits). Exploration of the social control of drug use, both formal and informal focusing on the Americas. The historic and contemporary development of U.S. drug laws is a focus as is international cooperation and policies that deal with controlled substances. We look at ways drugs, drug distribution and consumption are molded by our cultural practices and, in turn, how they help construct our everchanging vision of culture, particularly in an increasingly global society. Prerequisites: LAST 101 or SOAN 100 or 102, or GOVT 111 or 123. Offered as needed. NU and EV only.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits), Spring (4 credits). Interdisciplinary approaches to key issues, periods, personalities, movements, or tendencies in Latin American intellectual, political, social, or cultural history. Topics chosen tend to be examined from a cultural studies perspective. May be repeated for degree credit, given a different topic, for a maximum of 12 credits. Offered in alternate years.
-
4.00 Credits
Spring (4 credits). Detailed and critical study of a special period, authors, social, and political tendencies, ethnic groups, or any other problem pertaining to Latin American history, society, and culture. Prerequisite: LAST 101.
-
3.00 Credits
Unless otherwise indicated, all courses in the department are offered for either a numerical grade or evaluation with the permission of the instructor. To meet a course prerequisite, a minimum grade of 1.7 must have been earned in the prerequisite course. Placement in mathematics courses through MATH 121 is determined by a placement examination given at the beginning of each semester. Placement in a course with prerequisites does not constitute a course challenge to any of the prerequisite courses.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits), Spring (4 credits). Selections from both historical and current topics in mathematics are included in this general interest course. Topics may include number theory, graph theory, logic, sets, geometry, sequences, large numbers, counting problems, algorithms, functions, and relations. Prerequisite: placement from the Mathematics Placement Exam or permission.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits), Spring (4 credits). Introduction to modern ideas in finite mathematics. Topics may include probability, logic, combinatorics, functions, matrix algebra, linear programming, and graph theory. MATH 101 is not a prerequisite to the calculus. Prerequisite: Placement from Mathematics Placement Exam or permission. Those wishing to continue in mathematics must repeat the Mathematics Placement Examination.
-
4.00 Credits
Spring (4 credits). Topics include structure of mathematical systems, elementary number theory, operations in the real number system, and elementary problem-solving. Review of arithmetic, algebraic, and geometric topics to reinforce existing knowledge. Introduction to methods and tools currently recommended for use by K-8 educators. An 80-minute lab experience is required weekly. Prerequisite: MATH 101 or permission. Not recommended for firstyear students.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits) or Spring (4 credits). Descriptive and inferential statistics for students from diverse fields. Distribution, correlation, probability, hypothesis testing, use of tables, and examination of the misuse of statistics and relation of statistics to vital aspects of life. Computer packages used as tools throughout the course.
-
3.00 Credits
Fall (3 credits) or Spring (3 credits) or May Term (3 credits). Introduction to the history of mathematics, especially elementary mathematics. Topics include early uses of counting, number systems, arithmetic, fractions, geometry, algebra, probability, and infinite series in civilizations around the world. Prerequisite: completion of mathematics placement exam at MATH 100 or 101 level. Offered as needed.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits), Spring (4 credits). For students whose programs require calculus but who, based on their background and placement examination scores, are not prepared for MATH 121. Topics from precalculus include properties of linear, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric funtions, and compositions, transformations, and inverses of these functions. Calculus topics include successive approximation and limits of functions, local linearity and differentiation, applications of differentiation to graphing and optimization, and the definite integral, antiderivatives, and differential equations. Prerequisite: Placement from the Mathematics Placement Exam or permission. NU only.
