Schedule of Classes

Great ideas in mathematics, problem solving, contemporary applications.

For students who need to strengthen their algebra skills: factoring polynomials; solving quadratic and other equations; exponents, logarithms, and graphing.

Probability, descriptive statistics, statistical models, correlation and regression, testing hypotheses, confidence limits, and selected applications.

For students needing further background in mathematics before enrolling in calculus (especially MTH 121). Thorough study of algebraic, transcendental, and trigonometric functions; emphasis on graphing and use of algebra.

A survey of the most common mathematical techniques used in business. Topics include: linear functions, non-linear functions (polynomials, exponentials, logarithms), systems of linear equations, linear programming, sets and probability, introduction to basic statistics.

Differential and integral calculus with emphasis on understanding through graphs. Topics in analytic geometry, limits, derivatives, antiderivatives, definite integrals, exponential and logarithmic functions, and partial derivatives.

Continuation of MTH 115. Includes trig functions, integration techniques, series, differential equations, and multivariable calculus.

Introduction to graph theory, Boolean algebra, mathematical induction, and elementary combinatorics.

Topics in analytic geometry; limits; continuity; differentiation; introduction to integration; applications.

Topics in calculus of logarithmic, exponential, and trigonometric functions; techniques of integration; analytic geometry; indeterminate forms; improper integrals; infinite series.

Matrix algebra, determinants, theory of simultaneous equations, vector spaces, bases, Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, transformations, and applications.

Topics in vectors; calculus of functions of several variables; multiple integrals; vector calculus.

Solution of second order equations with constant coefficients; Laplace transforms; power series methods; numerical methods; modeling; applications.

Topics of special interest which may vary each time course is offered, rotating among geometry, algebra/number theory, and history of mathematics. For middle school teacher certification; does not count toward a math major or math minor. May be repeated under different topics for a maximum of 9 hours credit.

Probability and statistical concepts, theory, and applications: random variables, sampling, central limit theorem, theories of estimation and the testing of hypotheses, linear models, and nonparametric methods.

Probability and statistical concepts, theory, and applications: random variables, sampling, central limit theorem, theories of estimation and the testing of hypotheses, linear models, and nonparametric methods.

Existence and uniqueness theorems; solution methods for initial and boundary value problems; linear and nonlinear systems; stability theory; difference equations.

A survey of the historical development of mathematics from antiquity to the twentieth century. Emphasis will be on the interrelations between the various areas of mathematics as well as the mathematical content itself.

Introduction to complex calculus: elementary functions, integration, Cauchy's formula, residue theory, and applications.

Topics selected from theory of rings, field theory, and applications.

Regression analysis, time series analysis, and forecasting

Individual work in special areas of mathematics for advanced, qualified undergraduate students. May register for more than 6 hrs. credit only if enrolled in an approved special off campus program.

Topics in mathematics selected, studied, and discussed by students under faculty guidance. Each student explores an area of mathematics and selects a topic in which he or she has a particular interest.

A selected topic in mathematics is studied by a student under faculty guidance. Each student writes a paper and gives a presentation on his or her topic.
