of instructor. This course serves as a general introduction to statistics,
focusing on mathematical reasoning and the solving of real
life problems. Contents include descriptive methods, measures of
central tendency and variability, elementary probability theory,
elementary combinatorics, probability distributions, sampling
techniques, confidence intervals for the mean or proportion,
tests of hypotheses, chi square, correlation and linear regression,
and the F-test and one-way analysis of variance. Students cannot
receive credit for both MATH 1774 and BSNS 2514. AAS:
Mathematics elective. IAI: M1 902 Mathematics.
MATH 1803 - Trigonometry 3/0 (3)
Prerequisites: MATH 1424 and MATH 1453 with grades of C
or better or all of the following: two years of high school algebra
and one year of high school geometry with grades of C or better
and appropriate assessment score. Definitions of trigonometric
functions of an acute angle are applied to the solution of right
triangles, then extended to define the circular functions. Precalculus
applications of the circular functions, including complex
number arithmetic, are studied in detail. Topics include functions,
graphs, similarity, identities and conditional equations,
the laws of cosines and sines, and DeMoivre’s theorem. Skills for
success in more advanced courses are emphasized. Consequently,
the student must have a strong working knowledge of algebra
before entering this course. AAS: Mathematics elective.
MATH 1814 - College Algebra 4/0 (4)
Prerequisite: MATH 1424 with a grade of C or better or both
two years of high school algebra and appropriate assessment
score. Polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions
and their graphs are studied in detail. Topics include the
algebra of functions, symmetry and transformations, conic
sections, equations (linear, absolute value, fractional, quadratic,
polynomial, radical, exponential, and logarithmic), inequalities
(linear, absolute value, and quadratic), and systems of equations.
AAS: Mathematics elective.
MATH 1833 - Calculus for Business & Social
Sciences 3/0 (3)
Prerequisite: MATH 1814 with a grade of C or better or both
three years of high school mathematics and appropriate assessment
score; and completion of ENGL 1413 with a grade of C
or better or appropriate assessment score; or consent of instructor.
Introductory calculus topics are developed and applied to
problems in business, the social sciences, physics, and geometry.
Topics include limits, the derivative, optimization, and integration
of polynomial and rational functions of one variable. AAS:

assessment score; and completion of ENGL 1413 with
a grade of C or better or appropriate assessment score; or consent
of instructor. Derivatives and integrals are carefully developed
as applications of the limit concept. These ideas are extended to
algebraic, trigonometric, and logarithmic functions. A strong
emphasis is given to applications in physics, geometry, and other
sciences. AAS: Mathematics elective. IAI: M1 900-1 Mathematics.
