126 MATHEMATICS/COMPUTER SCIENCE491 Independent Integrated Studyin Management (3)Has the same design purpose and application procedureas MBE 490, but with the further requirements that (1) itmust be taken for three semester hours, and (2) the enrolledstudent must bring synthesis to the particular area of study(and the process of learning) chosen. This synthesis will bea paper putting the particular study into the context ofhistorical perspective, world-view or paradigm perspective,the technological (empirical) perspective (includingcommunications) and its consequences for the cultural orinstitutional system. Offered on demand, but preferablyduring the summer.MATHEMATICS/COMPUTER SCIENCEMRS. KATHY R. AMES, (adjunct)DR. LYDIA KENNEDYDR. DANTE V. MANNADR. MARGARET REESEDR. Z. JOHN WANGMS. DENISE POCTA WILKINSON, Program CoordinatorMission StatementTo think mathematically and to understand the rolemathematics plays in human enterprise are characteristicsof liberally educated people. Mathematics contributes twoof the seven original liberal arts. Its inherent beauty, itssearch for pattern, form and irrefutable truth, and itsability to provide a language through which the naturalworld can be described are examples of its power.Mathematics, always a practical and useful art, beckons aswell as a path toward freedom of thought.The mission of the Mathematics/Computer Sciencedepartment is to provide an opportunity for all students togain computational dexterity, to understand the value ofmathematics as a human and social endeavor, and todevelop the power of mathematical reasoning, whilepromoting the rigorous reasoning skills that allow studentsto investigate the interplay between the abstract and theconcrete. The mission of the department with respect tocomputer science is to provide basic instruction in end-userskills for all students and in-depth instruction in theory andapplications for both mathematics and computer sciencemajors. One goal of the department with respect to theeducation department is to enable our students to passrequired PRAXIS exams related to mathematics.The department has two majors: Mathematics andComputer Science. Within each, students may choosebetween a theoretical emphasis or one which is moreapplied. Students are encouraged to take advanced coursesin both mathematics and computer science.The department, in conjunction with the VWCEducation Department, has created four-year programswhich meet the Virginia Standards of Education 2000 forteaching certification at the primary, middle school andsecondary levels.Major Requirements: MathematicsCOURSE NUMBER AND TITLESEM.HRS.MATH 1713Calculus IMATH 1723Calculus IIMATH 2053Discrete MathematicsMATH 2173Linear AlgebraMATH 2263Introduction to Statistical ModelsMATH 3033Multivariable CalculusMATH 3173Algebraic StructuresMATH 3233Real AnalysisMATH 4871Mathematics Senior SeminarThree of the following:MATH 315Ordinary Differential EquationsMATH 316ProbabilityMATH 340Modern Geometries 9MATH/CS 350Numerical MethodsMATH 480Advanced Topics in MathematicsMATH 489Research in MathematicsAdditional required coursesCS 112Computer Programming I3PHYS 221Physics (for BA option)4PHYS 221-222Physics (for BS option)8ScienceBS option–2 additional 8approved science coursesTOTAL 41-53See continuation of choices next page
