Course Catalog • Mathematics

This course has two purposes. First, to provide the student with some experience and insight into several areas of mathematics not normally covered in elementary courses. Typical topics which may be covered are number theory, geometries, introductory calculus, introductory probability and statistics. Second, to provide the student with some skill in handling abstract mathematical concepts. The material will develop dually the intuitive and axiomatic approach. A high degree of manipulative skill is not required for this course. Prerequisite: MATH 101 or MATH 104, or two years of high school algebra and a score of 26 or higher on ACT mathematics, or a qualifying score on the mathematics placement test. Ten written assignments; midcourse and final examinations. Instructor: Satyagopal Mandal.

Textbooks and calculator (separate purchase):

• Multimedia online materials, illustrations, and self-testing problems take the place of a text.
• A graphing calculator.

Elementary differential and integral calculus, with applications in management and the biological sciences. Not open to students with credit in MATH 121. Prerequisite: MATH 101 or MATH 104, or two years of high school algebra and a score of 26 or higher on ACT mathematics, or a qualifying score on the mathematics placement test. Eight written assignments; midcourse and final examinations. Instructor: Jeff Lang.
