MATH 0098 – Pre-college Algebra (4)
Prerequisites: Placement by examination
This course is designed to prepare students for college level mathematics. Topics will include: real-number concepts, selected geometry concepts, linear equations and inequalities in one variable, problem solving involving linear or factorable quadratic equations as models, operations on polynomials, factoring polynomials, integral exponents, graphing linear and quadratic equations in two variables, rational expressions, function notation, integral and rational exponents, solving absolute value and quadratic equations and inequalities, solving rational and radical equations, problem solving involving linear equations, rational equations, quadratic equations, and systems of equations in two variables, and writing equations of lines, operations with radicals and complex numbers, geometric concepts, and calculator usage.
 
MATH 1001 – Quantitative Skills and Reasoning (3)
Prerequisites: Exit or exemption from Learning Support mathematics
This course places quantitative skills and reasoning in the context of experiences that students will be likely to encounter. It emphasizes processing information in context from a variety of representations, understanding of both the information and the processing, and understanding which conclusions can be reasonably determined.
 
Note: This course is an alternative in Area A of the Core Curriculum and is not intended to supply sufficient algebraic background for students who intend to take Precalculus or the Calculus sequences for mathematics and science majors.
 
MATH 1111 - College Algebra (3)
Prerequisites: Exit or exemption from Learning Support mathematics
This course is a functional approach to algebra that incorporates the use of appropriate technology. Emphasis will be placed on the study of functions, and their graphs, inequalities, and linear, quadratic, piece-wise defined, rational, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Appropriate applications will be included.
 
MATH 1113 - Precalculus (3)
Prerequisites: MATH 1111 with a “C” or better or appropriate placement
This course focuses on the study of trigonometry, including circular functions, triangle trigonometry, trigonometric equations and identities, inverse trigonometric functions, and vectors. Selected topics from algebra are reviewed and extended. This course is designed to prepare students for calculus, algebra-based physics, and related technical subjects.
 
MATH 1113H  - Precalculus (Honors) (3)
Prerequisites: MATH 1111 with an “A” or “B” or appropriate placement and acceptance into the Honors Program
This course focuses on the study of trigonometry, including circular functions, triangle trigonometry, trigonometric equations and identities, inverse trigonometric functions, and vectors. Selected topics from algebra are reviewed and extended. This course is designed to prepare students for calculus, algebra-based physics, and related technical subjects. This course is MATH 1113 for Honors students.
 
MATH 1431 - Introduction to Statistics (3)
Prerequisites: Any collegiate level mathematics course with a “C” or better
This course is designed for students whose programs require a course in statistics as well as for those who wish to elect such a course. Topics to be covered include descriptive statistics, basic probability, discrete and continuous distributions, sample estimation of parameters, hypothesis testing, tests on means and proportions, chi-square tests, correlation, and linear regression.
 
MATH 1431H – Introduction to Statistics (Honors) (3)
Prerequisites: Any collegiate level mathematics course with a “C” or better and acceptance into the Honors program
This course is MATH 1431 for Honors students.
 
MATH 1433 - Applied Calculus (3)
Prerequisites: MATH 1111 with a “C” or better
This course provides a non-rigorous introduction to the basic ideas and techniques of differential and integral calculus, especially as they relate to applications in business, economics, life sciences, and social sciences.
 
MATH 2008 – Foundation of Numbers and Operations (3)
Prerequisites:Completion of any college level mathematics course and EDUC 2110, each with a “C” or better
This course is an Area F introductory mathematics course for early childhood education majors. The course will emphasize the understanding and use of the major concepts of numbers and operations. As a general theme, strategies of problem solving will be used and discussed in the context of various topics.
 
MATH 2420 - Discrete Mathematics (3)
Prerequisites: MATH 1113 or MATH 1433 with a “C” or better
This course introduces the ideas of finite mathematical structures. Topics include sets theory, logic, proof techniques, functions and relations, graphs, trees, and combinatorics.
 
MATH 2431 - Calculus I (4)
Prerequisites: MATH 1113 with a “C” or better or placement by examination
This course includes the study of the derivative and its applications, limits and continuity, antidifferentiation, the definite integral, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Algebraic, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions are studied.
 
MATH 2432 - Calculus II (4)
Prerequisites: MATH 2431 with a “C” or better
This course includes the study of techniques of integration, applications of the definite integral, an introduction to differential equations, polar graphs, and power series.
 
MATH 2633 - Calculus III (4)
Prerequisites: MATH 2432 with a “C” or better
This course includes the study of vectors, solid analytical geometry, partial derivatives, multiple integrals, line integrals, and applications.
 
MATH 2641 - Linear Algebra (3)
Prerequisite or Co-requisite: MATH 2432
This course is designed to introduce the student to the basic notions of linear algebra. Topics include matrices, systems of linear equations, vector spaces, inner products, bases, linear transformations, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors.
 
MATH 2652 - Ordinary Differential Equations (4)
Prerequisite or Co-requisite: MATH 2633
This course is an introduction to the basic ideas of ordinary differential equations. Topics include linear differential equations, series solutions, simple non-linear equations, Laplace transforms, systems of differential equations, numerical methods, and applications.
