Mathematics

This lab is designed to provide academic support and remediation for students in Elementary Algebra whose placement scores, as outlined in Appendix A, indicate the need for additional skill development.

This mathematics course is designed to provide mathematical tools needed by students enrolled in selected technical and occupational (AAS)Programs. The course incorporates mathematics that help students analyze, set up and solve problems in their various majors. Emphasis is placed upon the practical aspects of mathematics. It includes selected topics on the operation of Real Numbers; conversion of fractions, decimals and percents; ratios and proportion, percent and applications; measurement - which includes conversion between English and the Metric system; essentials of algebra, consumer/financial mathematics; statistics, graphs, and probability; topics in geometry.

This course provides an alternative to Basic Math. Topics include exponents, polynomials, factoring, linear equations, quadratic equations, graphs and functions. A grade of “C” or better is required to enroll in next level course.

This is a modern college algebra course based upon a function approach with emphasis on the following:Critical thinking, Mathematical modeling, and appropriate use of technology. Topics covered include: polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and radical functions; graphing of polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic equations; graphing and solution of inequalities; solution of systems of equations using a variety of methods including determinants and matrices; other topics include progression, binomial theorem, partial fractions and set theory.

This is a comprehensive mathematics course designed for general education core and for degrees not requiring College Algebra. A strong emphasis will be placed on critical thinking, mathematical modeling, and technology. The majority of the course includes topics from general concepts of functions. Projects, group work, reading, and writing should be included.

Trigonometry studies the relationships that exist between the sides and angles of all triangles. It includes the study of trigonometric functions, identities, equations and applications.

Pre-Calculus prepares the student for Calculus. It is an integrated, unified course in algebra and trigonometry. Topics include functions (polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic) and their graphs, trigonometry (functions, identities, graphs, equations and applications) equations and inequalities, systems of equations, matrices, advanced methods in problem solving and graphical analysis. A graphing calculator is required for this course.

Finite Mathematics provides an understanding between mathematics and the application of mathematics to real world problems. Topics to be covered include a review of algebra concepts, matrices, linear programming and the Simplex method, sets and counting, probability, and statistics.

Math Statistics is an algebra based course that covers descriptive and inferential statistical techniques and methods in life, physical, and social science. Topics include qualitative data analysis, frequency distributions, numerical methods, data dispersions, variance analysis, estimation theory, sampling distributions, discrete and continuous probability distributions, hypothesis testing, and confidence interval estimation.

Survey of Calculus is designed for business, social sciences, life sciences and other related majors. The course includes topics in limits, differentiation, application of derivatives, exponential and logarithmic functions, integration and its application, techniques of Integration, and an introduction to functions of several variables. The emphasis will be on helping students understand how calculus relates to the real world.

This course is designed for students majoring in elementary education. The course covers sets and logic, systems of numeration, number systems and operations, and elementary number theory.

This course covers topics in geometry and measurement, statistics and probability and is designed for students majoring in elementary education.

Calculus I is the first course in Calculus and includes topics of functions (including exponential, trigonometric, and logarithmic), limits, continuity, differentiation, antiderivatives, inverse functions, and introduction to integration.

Calculus II is a continuation of MATH 24005 (MATH 2405) which includes the following topics: integration by parts, sequences and series, parametric equations, polar coordinates, conic sections and vectors and curves in the planes.

Calculus III, is the study of multi-dimensional calculus, including: multiple integration, partial differentiations, vector functions, and other topics.
