MATH 049-Mathematics I
Basic mathematical concepts with an emphasis on practical application and consumer-related word problems. Also deals with the fundamental operations of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages. Provides an introduction to measurement, graphs, exponents, integers, and informal geometry including perimeter, area, volume, and basic construction. Prerequisite: Appropriate placement score or instructor permission.
MATH 050-Mathematics II
Bridges the gap between arithmetic and algebra. Topics include arithmetic review, informal geometry, measurement, signed numbers, linear equations and inequalities, polynomials, and graphing. Prerequisite: Appropriate placement score; grade of C- or higher in MATH 049 or instructor permission.
MATH 054-Special Topics in Math
Specific math needs are met for individual students. Student and instructor determine areas of emphasis.
MATH 065-Introductory Algebra
The first of a two-course series covering the basics of algebra (MATH 065, 095). Topics include variables and their applications working with algebraic expressions, solving equations, and an introduction to graphing linear and quadratic functions. Prerequisite: Appropriate placement score or grade of C- or higher in MATH 050, or permission of Mathematics Department.
MATH 095-Intermediate Algebra
The second of a two-course series covering the basics of algebra (MATH 065/095). Topics include working with algebraic expressions (polynomial, algebraic fractions, radicals, exponential, logarithmic), solving equations and inequalities (polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, logarithmic), solving systems of linear equations, an introduction to functions, and graphing functions/relations (linear, quadratic, simple conics, exponential, logarithmic). Prerequisite: Appropriate placement score or grade of C- or higher in MATH 065; or permission of the Mathematics Department.
MATH 115-Finite Mathematics
Study of mathematical systems encountered in the work of behavioral, managerial, and social science students. Topics include systems of linear equations and inequalities, matrices, linear programming, introductory probability, mathematics of finance, and elementary Markov chains. Prerequisite: Grade of C- or higher in MATH 095 or permission of the Mathematics Department.
MATH 201-Introduction to Statistics
Study of both descriptive and inferential statistics. Topics include data presentation, and analysis, measures of central tendency and dispersion, sampling distributions, parameter estimation hypothesis testing, and linear regression. Prerequisite: Grade of C- or higher in MATH 095 or permission of the Mathematics Department.
MATH 205-Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers I
Designed for elementary school teachers focusing on methods of problem-solving, development and structure of number systems, and numerical algorithms applicable to elementary school mathematics. Prerequisite: Appropriate placement score or grade of C- or higher in MATH 095; or permission of Mathematics Department.
MATH 206-Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers II
Designed for elementary school teachers focusing on topics in geometry, statistics, and measurement pertaining to mathematics taught at the elementary school level. This course satisfies the quantitative skills requirement for the AA degree, provided that MATH 205 has also been completed with a grade of C- or higher.
MATH 220-Linear Algebra
Designed for students planning studies in mathematics, engineering, computer science, and physics. Topics include systems of linear equations, matrices, determinants, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, vector spaces, linear transformations, orthogonality, and diagonalization. Prerequisite: Grade C- or higher in MATH& 153 or permission of the Mathematics Department.
MATH 238-Differential Equations
First-order and higher-order differential equations, systems of linear differential equations, LaPlace transforms, numerical methods, and qualitative analysis of ODE's will be discussed. Prerequisite: Grade C- or higher in MATH& 153 or permission of the Mathematics Department.
