Courses

MATH0900: Essential Mathematics

Credits 3
Whole numbers, fractions and mixed numbers, decimals, ratio, proportion, percent, measurement, geometry, introduction of algebra, solving equations, and statistics. This is a credit/no credit course. Receiving credit for this course prepares the student to take MATH1100 or MATH2240. Credit for courses numbered below 1000 is not transferable.

MATH1100: Liberal Arts Mathematics

Credits 3
Students will explore mathematical ideas and logical reasoning. This class will look at mathematical applications in life which may include topics such as statistics, fair voting schemes, prime numbers, and modular arithmetic. Students will also develop their own insights and theorems through the exploration of mathematical patterns. The content of the class may vary each semester. The course satisfies the general education mathematics competency requirement. The course is designed for non-science majors. Students need to verify they have the prerequisites the first day of class.

MATH1300: College Algebra

Credits 3
Topics include polynomial arithmetic, synthetic division, zeroes of polynomials, systems of linear equations, matrices and matrix multiplication. This course prepares students to take MATH1400 and MATH2510. Students need to verify they have the prerequisites the first day of class.

MATH1400: Trigonometry

Credits 3
Topics include the study of the trigonometric functions, plane trigonometry, and analytic trigonometry. This course prepares students to take MATH2510. Students need to verify they have the prerequisites the first day of class.

MATH2010: Fundamental Mathematical Structures I

Credits 3
Includes problem solving and mathematical reasoning, sets, relations and functions, numeration, the system of whole numbers, integers and rational numbers, and number theory. Laboratory activities are included. Students need to verify they have the prerequisites the first day of class.

MATH2240: Elementary Statistics

Credits 3

Introduction to statistical terminology and basic concepts, including common uses and misuses of statistics. Topics include experimental design, sampling, descriptive statistics, correlation and regression, probability, and tests of significance. This is a valuable course for students in all majors. This course satisfies the general education mathematics competency requirement.

MATH2310: Discrete Mathematics

Credits 3

An introduction to graph theory, logical operators, mathematical induction, enumeration and Boolean algebra. Students need to verify they have the prerequisites the first day of class.

MATH2510: Calculus I

Credits 4
Limits, derivatives (including trigonometric functions), integration and applications of the derivative, l'Hopital's Rule, area. AAF Accuplacer margin for error is already built in (1-2 questions can be missed and still achieve a 300). Students need to verify they have the prerequisites the first day of class.

MATH3320: Linear Algebra

Credits 3

A study of vector spaces, linear transformations, matrices, determinants and systems of equations. Special attention is given to the connection between linear transformations and matrices.

MATH3570: Teaching Mathematics in Secondary Schools

Credits 2

This course explores strategies for teaching math in secondary schools. A major focus of the class will be moving secondary students through enactive, iconic, and symbolic representation for concepts in the five major areas of math: algebra, functions, geometry, statistics/probability, and number/quantity. Other topics will include standards alignment, technology integration, and assessment. (See EDUC7657) Field Experience: 20 to 40 hours depending on endorsement areas.
