MATHEMATICS Minor in Mathematics (18 credit hours) Program Lead: Dr. Fernand Tessier Mathematics is a group of related subjects that concern the study of numbers, geometry, shape, space, and pattern and their inter-relationships, applications, generalizations, and abstractions. After centuries of evolution, it has become a body of knowledge that intersects with logic and philosophy and effectively describes natural, social, and technological processes. Although thinking mathematically is considered difficult by most students, everyone is born with mathematical ability. In fact, it is one of the most natural ways of thinking. Mathematics is also one of the most useful bodies of knowledge. In view of these features, the mathematics faculty members at AUK offer a minor in this subject with the purpose of demonstrating its use as well as its relation to other subjects. Admission to the Program: • At least 9 credit hours must be taken at AUK • A minimum grade of C must be achieved in each mathematics course Mathematics Core Courses (9 credit hours) To complete a minor in MATH, students must complete the following core courses: • MATH 110 Pre-Calculus (3) • MATH 201 Calculus I (3) • MATH 203 Calculus II (3) In addition, they must complete (in consultation with the academic advisor) 3 other courses (9 credit hours) chosen from among the following: • STAT 201 Statistics (3) • MATH 210 Differential Equations (3) • MATH 213 Discrete Mathematics (3) • MATH 325 Numerical Computing (3) • MATH 359 Principles of Operations Research (3) • MATH 389 Special Topics (1 – 3) 123
