EXPLANATION OF COURSES:
MATH 105 Data, Functions, Graphs[/color]
Credit: 2.0
This course presents the concepts of precalculus from four points of view: geometric (graphs), numeric (tables), symbolic (formulas), and written (verbal descriptions). The emphasis is on the mathematical modeling of real-life problems using linear, polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Students develop their reading, writing, and questioning skills in an interactive classroom setting.
Advisory prerequisites: None
MATH 115 Calculus I[/color]
Credit: 4.0
The course presents the concepts of calculus from four points of view: geometric (graphs), numeric (tables), symbolic (formulas), and verbal descriptions. Students will develop their reading, writing, and questioning skills, as well as their ability to work cooperatively. Topics include functions and graphs, derivatives and their applications to real-life problems in various fields, and an introduction to integration.
Advisory prerequisites: High school math
MATH 116 Calculus II[/color]
Credit: 4.0
The course presents the concepts of calculus from four points of view: geometric (graphs), numeric (tables), symbolic (formulas), and verbal descriptions. Students will develop their reading, writing and questioning skills, as well as their ability to work cooperatively. Topics include techniques of integration, applications of integration, Taylor series, an introduction to differential equations, and infinite series.
Advisory prerequisites: MATH 115
MATH 214 Linear Algebra & Differential Equations[/color]
Credit: 4.0
This course emphasizes linear algebra including geometry of two, three and n-dimensional space, and has a lighter treatment of differential equations. It is particularly designed for students who are planning to take a course in linear programming.
Advisory prerequisites: MATH 115 and 116
MATH 215 Calculus III[/color]
Credit: 4.0
Topics include vector algebra and vector functions; analytic geometry of planes, surfaces and solids; functions of several variables and partial differentiation; line, surface, and volume integrals and applications; vector fields and integration; Green's Theorem and Stokes' Theorem.
Advisory prerequisites: MATH 115 and 116
