Courses Offered
MAT 278 Software Applications for Office
Management
3 hours, 3 credits
This course will provide advanced experience in word processing,
database analysis and spreadsheet analysis. Emphasis is given as to how
to enhance the applicability of the above by using advanced features such
as spreadsheet macros, database languages and word processing macros.
Another feature of the course is to show how the tools above may be used
together to enhance the productivity of the modern office.
Prerequisites: ENG 101 and 6 credits of mathematics
MAT 279 Data Communications and the Internet
3 hours, 3 credits
An exploration of the use of personal computers, servers and
appliances in communication networks such as the Internet.
Communication protocols are introduced and the security of
computer networks is discussed. Methods for transmitting files and
information and search methods using e-mail, FTP, Telnet and Webbased
data systems are examined. The legal and ethical aspects of
this field also are discussed.
Prerequisites: ENG 101, and MAT 105 or the equivalent
MAT 301 Probability and Mathematical Statistics I
3 hours, 3 credits
Emphasis on the probability theory necessary for the study of
statistical inference. Topics include studies of discrete, continuous
and multivariate distributions. Applications to problems involving
normal, binomial, Poisson and other distributions. Introduction to
theory and methods of testing hypotheses and of estimation.
Prerequisites: ENG 102 or ENG 201, and MAT 241
MAT 302 Probability and Mathematical Statistics II
3 hours, 3 credits
Theory and methods of testing statistical hypotheses including
Neyman-Pearson theorem, likelihood ratio tests, power function
study, etc. Point and interval estimation of statistical parameters
including study of unbiased, consistent, efficient and sufficient
estimators. Results applied to problems from different fields
involving binomial, Poisson, normal and related distributions.
Prerequisites: ENG 102 or ENG 201, and MAT 301
MAT 310 Linear Algebra
3 hours, 3 credits
Calculations with matrices, vector spaces, bases and dimensions, rank
of a matrix, systems of linear equations, determinants, characteristic
equations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and minimal polynomials.
Prerequisites: ENG 102 or ENG 201, and MAT 241-242 or the
equivalent
MAT 323-324 Operations Research Models I and II
Each course: 3 hours, 3 credits
The construction of mathematical models for real-life situations with
the application of operations research theory to obtain practical
solutions. Problems are chosen from varied fields of endeavor with
particular emphasis upon public sector-related topics, e.g., traffic
flow, court procedures, network analysis and simulation techniques.
Prerequisites: For MAT 323: ENG 102 or ENG 201, and MAT 241.
MAT 323 is required for MAT 324.
MAT 371 Numerical Analysis
3 hours, 3 credits
Introduction to various numerical approximation techniques and the
concept of error. Schemes are developed for finding the approximate
solutions of algebraic and transcendental equations. Numerical
differentiation and integration, finite differences, interpolation and
