MAT105 Introduction to Statistics credits: 3<br />

Introduces students to descriptive statistics, frequency distributions, graphic displays, and measures of central tendency and<br />

variation. The course also provides students with experience in sampling, confidence intervals, and preliminary inferential<br />

statistics test methods. (ADP) Prerequisite: MAT101<br />

MAT107 Intermediate Algebra credits: 3<br />

Students learn fundamental concepts and solve problems involving rational and radical expressions; inequalities; linear, quadratic<br />

and exponential functions; and systems of linear equations. Prerequisite: MAT101<br />

MAT110 Mathematics for Teachers credits: 3<br />

Course covers mathematical concepts and problem solving techniques needed by elementary school teachers. Topics include<br />

problem solving, sets, functions, numeration systems, number theory and number systems, applications, an introduction to<br />

probability and statistics, introductory geometry and measurement concepts. Prerequisite: MAT107<br />

MAT111 College Algebra credits: 3<br />

This course covers the real number system, exponents and radicals, polynomial equations, system of equations, introduction to<br />

matrices, inequalities, polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions and their graphs. Prerequisite: MAT107<br />

MAT112 Trigonometry credits: 2<br />

Topics studied in this course include trigonometric functions, identities, transcendental and inverse trigonometric functions, and<br />

trigonometric equations. Prerequisite: MAT107<br />

MAT221 Calculus I & Analytic Geometry credits: 4<br />

Plane analytic gepagometry, functions, introduction to limits and continuity, the derivative, curve sketching using derivatives,<br />

applications of the derivative, definite integration, fundamental theorem of calculus, vectors, and conic sections. Prerequisites:<br />

MAT111 & MAT112<br />

MAT222 Calculus II & Analytic Geometry credits: 4<br />

Integration of differentiation of trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic and hyperbolic functions, derivatives of parametric polar<br />

equations, general methods of indefinite integration, applications of the definite integral to volume, centroids and moments, and<br />

indeterminate forms. Prerequisite: MAT221<br />

MAT231 Linear Algebra credits: 3<br />

The application and theory of linear algebraic structures, linear transformations, matrices, vectors and vector spaces, echelon<br />

systems, and canonical forms. Prerequisite: MAT221<br />

MAT261 Elementary Statistics credits: 3<br />

A basic course in descriptive and inferential statistics for students of the natural and social sciences and business. Includes<br />

applications of parametric and non-parametric statistics to data analysis problems. Prerequisite: MAT107<br />

MAT311 Quantitative Methods in Decision Making credits: 3<br />

Students will learn selected quantitative methods and their applications, with application emphasis being given to business.<br />

Students will utilize computer quantitative analysis and modeling software during the conduct of the course. Prerequisite:<br />

MAT111<br />

MAT323 Calculus III & Analytic Geometry credits: 4<br />

Epsilon - Delta' definitions, indeterminate forms, infinite series, solid analytic geometry, partial derivatives, multiple integrals,<br />

vector fields, line and surface integrals, Green's Theorem and Stokes' Theorem. Prerequisite: MAT222<br />

numerical solutions with applications. Prerequisites: MAT222 or MAT323<br />

MAT351 Modern Algebra credits: 3<br />

This course is an introduction to the theory and concepts of modern algebra as well as to their role in unifying other mathematical<br />

notation and their application in such areas as groups, rings, field, Boolean Algebras. Prerequisite: MAT222<br />

MAT371 Modern Geometry credits: 3<br />

A survey of Euclidean geometry and several non-Euclidean geometries including finite, projective and hyperbolic. Prerequisite:<br />

MAT222<br />

MAT461 Probability and Statistics credits: 3<br />

Basic concepts of probability; moments, moment generating function, expectation, variance, covariance, distribution functions and<br />

their application to statistical tests of hypotheses; bivariate, marginal and conditional distributions; treatment of experimental data.<br />

Development of formulas and methods are emphasized but there will be applications to problems in science and/or social science.<br />

Prerequisite: MAT323<br />

MAT483 Senior Project credits: 2<br />

A culminating experience in which the student uses the skills and knowledge acquired in her or his previous preparation in the<br />

execution of an original (to the student) project dealing with an issue, question or problem of importance in the natural sciences or<br />
