Students may either consult theUndergraduate Schedule of Classes for times and locations of testsor contact the Testing Center by phone at 800-888-UMUC, ext.7645, or by e-mail at fdes@info.umuc.edu.A description of the curriculum for the mathematical sciencesminor begins on p. 76. A description of the computer sciencemajor begins on p. 50.MATH 009 Introductory Algebra (3)(Not open to students who have already successfully completed ahigher-level mathematics course. Does not apply toward degreerequirements. Yields institutional credit only.) Prerequisite: MATH001 or an appropriate score on a placement test. A comprehensivereview of fractions, percentages, operations with signed numbers,and geometric formulas. Basic algebraic topics include exponents,polynomials, and linear equations. Strategies to build self-confidencein mathematics are offered for students whose academicprogress is being blocked by anxiety about their mathematicscoursework. Students may receive credit for only one of the followingcourses: MATH 009, MATH 009M, or MATH 100.MATH 012 Intermediate Algebra (3)(Not open to students who have already successfully completed ahigher-level mathematics course. Does not apply toward degreerequirements. Yields institutional credit only.) Prerequisite: MATH009 or an appropriate score on the placement test. A study ofproblem-solving techniques in intermediate-level algebra. Numbersand algebraic properties, graphing skills, and applicationsdrawn from a variety of areas (such as statistics, computing, anddiscrete mathematics) are emphasized. Topics include polynomials;factoring; exponents and their notation; linear, quadratic, andother equations; and inequalities. Students may receive credit foronly one of the following courses: MATH 012, MATH 101,MATH 101M, MATH 102, MATH 102M, MATH 199A, orMATH 199M.MATH 105 Mathematics: ContemporaryTopics and Applications (3)(Not intended for students planning to take MATH 107 or highernumberedcourses; does not serve as a prerequisite for these courses.)Prerequisite: MATH 012 or an appropriate score on the placementtest. A survey of contemporary topics in mathematics, coveringapplications and projects. Topics include problem solving,sequences and series, financial management, geometry, probability,and statistics.MATH 107 College Algebra (3)(The first course in the two-course series MATH 107–108. Analternative to MATH 115 Pre-Calculus.) Prerequisite: MATH012 or an appropriate score on the placement test. An introductionto equations, inequalities, and absolute values and a studyof functions and their properties, including the development ofgraphing skills with polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmicfunctions. Applications are also covered. Students mayreceive credit for only one of the following courses: MATH 107or MATH 115.MATH 108 Trigonometry and AnalyticalGeometry (3)(The second course in the two-course series MATH 107–108. Analternative to MATH 115 Pre-Calculus.) Prerequisite: MATH107 or an appropriate score on the placement test. An introductionto trigonometric functions, identities, and equations andtheir applications. Analytical geometry and conic sections arecovered. Additional topics may include matrices, determinants,sequences, and series. Students may receive credit for only oneof the following courses: MATH 108 or MATH 115.MATH 115 Pre-Calculus (3)(Not open to students who have completed MATH 140 or anycourse for which MATH 140 is a prerequisite.) Prerequisite:MATH 012 or an appropriate score on the placement test. Explicationof elementary functions and graphs. Topics include polynomials,rational functions, and exponential and logarithmic functions.Algebraic techniques preparatory for calculus are presented.Students may receive credit for only one of the following: MATH107–108 or MATH 115.MATH 140 Calculus I (4)Prerequisite(s): MATH 107–108, MATH 115, or an appropriatescore on the placement test. An introduction to calculus. Topicsinclude functions, the sketching of graphs of functions, limits,continuity, derivatives and applications of the derivative, definiteand indefinite integrals, and calculation of area. Students mayreceive credit for only one of the following courses: MATH 130,MATH 131, MATH 140, or MATH 220.MATH 141 Calculus II (4)(A continuation of MATH 140.) Prerequisite: MATH 140. Astudy of integration and functions, with application, and coverageof other topics. Focus is on techniques of integration, improperintegrals, and applications of integration (such as volumes, work,arc length, and moments); inverse, exponential, and logarithmicfunctions; and sequences and series. Students may receive creditfor only one of the following courses: MATH 131, MATH 132,MATH 141, or MATH 221.210
