MAT100 Intermediate Algebra … 3credits
This course is provided for those students whose preparation in mathematics indicates a need for further preparation prior to completing general education mathematics requirement. Topics include properties of real numbers, algebraic vocabulary, linear equations and inequalities, graphing linear systems, exponents and polynomials, factoring, and rational expressions.
MAT101 Contemporary Mathematics … 3 credits
This course was designed to give the liberal arts student an experience in contemporary mathematics with emphasis on its connection to society. The concepts include management science, statistics, coding, social choice and decision-making, and geometric size and shape. (Prerequisite: two years of high school algebra or equivalent)
MAT110 Introduction to Probability and Statistics … 3 credits
This course introduces probability and statistics to students whose main interest is not mathematics or science. Explorations of fundamental topics from probability and descriptive and inferential statistics are included. (Prerequisite: two years of high school algebra or equivalent)
MAT125 Precalculus … 4 credits
This course emphasizes functions and their applications. We start by investigating graphs and solutions of the algebraic functions including polynomial, rational, and root functions. We continue our exploration with the transcendentals including exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Additional topics include vectors, polar coordinates, and conic sections. The course is a good preparation for Calculus and for those students who will encounter functions in their course of study. (Prerequisite: two years of high school algebra or equivalent)
MAT135 Calculus I … 4 credits
This course explores the concepts of limit and continuity, investigates techniques of differentiation and its applications, introduces integration, and provides the framework for the Fundamental Theorem. (Prerequisite: MAT125 or equivalent)
MAT145 Calculus II … 4 credits
This course is a continuation of MAT135. We explore techniques of integration, introduce differential equations, and apply them to problem situations. Other topics include parametric equations, polar equations, conic sections, and an introduction to sequences and series. (Prerequisite: MAT135 or equivalent)
MAT220 Discrete Mathematics … 3 credits
Topics covered in this course include induction proofs, relations, algorithms, counting methods, and graph theory. (Prerequisite: MAT125 or equivalent)
MAT230 Probability and Statistics … 4 credits
This is an introductory probability and statistics course designed primarily for math and science students with a Calculus background. Topics covered include descriptive statistics, probability and probability distributions, estimation, hypothesis testing, correlation and regression, and analysis of variance. (Prerequisite: MAT135)
MAT255 Calculus III … 4 credits
This course is a continuation of MAT145. Topics covered include a review of sequences and series, analytic geometry in three-dimensional space, vector calculus, partial differentiation, multiple integration, the Fundamental Theorems, and the related applications. (Prerequisite: MAT145)
MAT305 Foundations of Geometry … 3 credits
This course provides a systematic survey of Euclidean, hyperbolic, transformation, fractal, and projective geometries. Through the use of technology, the students are better enabled to construct, analyze, and prove. (Prerequisite: MAT125 or equivalent)
MAT310 Linear Algebra … 3 credits
This course introduces algebraic techniques in vector space. Topics include systems of linear equations, matrices, vector spaces, inner products, linear transformations, and the eigenvalue problem. (Prerequisite: MAT145 or consent of instructor)
MAT320 Number Theory … 3 credits
Topics in this course include mathematical induction, greatest common divisor, the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, prime and composite numbers, and congruency. Theory and problem solving are both emphasized and historical perspectives are examined. (Prerequisite: MAT135)
MAT365 Differential Equations … 3 credits
The theory, solutions, techniques, and applications of ordinary differential equations will be discussed. (Prerequisite: MAT145)
MAT450 Abstract Algebra … 4 credits
This course is a rigorous introduction to abstract algebra. Topics include mappings, groups, equivalence relations, isomorphisms, rings, and fields. (Prerequisite: MAT255 and MAT220)
MAT460 Foundations of Analysis … 4 credits
This course is a formal treatment of functions of a real variable. It covers the topology of the real line, sequences and series, and classic results in continuity, differentiation, and integration. (Prerequisite: MAT255and MAT220)
MAT488 Independent Study in Mathematics … 1-4 credits
There are a plethora of topics in mathematics an advanced student could explore such as Difference Equations, Combinatorics, Graph Theory, Chaos Theory, Optimization, Operations Research, or Cryptography to name a few. The opened ended course number allows for more than one such experience. The student will work with a faculty mentor to choose an appropriate course, number of credits, and assessment scheme.
MAT498 Mathematics Internship … 1-16 credits
An exemplary real-world experience which allows for a deeper understanding of the mathematics used in a student's field of interest. (Prerequisite: Permission of a faculty member in mathematics.)
