Students study fundamentalmathematical functions in Algebra and Trigonometry and explore the basic concepts of analysis ofthese functions in Calculus I or Applied Calculus, depending on their major. Then students select oneadditional mathematics course with a Calculus I or Applied Calculus prerequisite. Thus, studentslearn to use mathematics, including calculus, in problem solving, to use technology appropriately inthis process, and to apply mathematics to problems arising in other disciplines. In the required sciencecourses students apply the scientific method in a variety of classroom and laboratory settings so thatthey develop the ability to carefully collect, organize, and analyze data for the purpose of synthesizinga model for better understanding or problem solving. The basic concepts of matter are explored inChemistry I in order to reach a better understanding of technology, health and environmental issues.The laws of nature are studied in either College Physics I or Engineering Physics I in order to developa method of reasoning that will enable students to interpret physical events in a rational manner. Toadd necessary depth to their study of natural science, students also select a sequential laboratoryscience course in either Chemistry or Physics.GESM-1: SM-1111 Algebra and TrigonometryGESM-2: SM-1131 Chemistry IGESM-3: SM-1212 Calculus I or SM-1214 Applied CalculusGESM-4: Select one course from Science and Mathematics Group I.GESM-5: Select one course from Science and Mathematics Group II.GESM-6: Select one course from Science and Mathematics Group III.Science and Mathematics Group ISM-2113 Calculus IISM-2115 Applied Environmental MathematicsSM-2117 Quantitative Methods for ManagementSM-2119 Applied Mathematics for Deck OfficersScience and Mathematics Group IISM-2121 College Physics I7
