162 MATHEMATICS (MATH)MATHEMATICS(MATH)What is Mathematics? Studying math is an explorationof the “science of numbers and their operations,interrelations, combinations, generalizations, andabstractions and of space configurations and theirstructure, measurement, transformations, andgeneralizations” (Merriam –Webster).Why Study Mathematics? Today’s world has manyfields that need specialists in mathematics. Careersin mathematics include: scientists, researchers, spacetechnicians, mathematics teachers, actuaries andinsurance specialists, and people who can combinemathematical knowledge with a scientific, computer, orbusiness background.At College of Alameda we offer you a variety of coursesintended for those who want to pursue a degree orcertificate in mathematics as well as those who wish todevelop quantitative and problem-solving skills for usein other fields. We teach according to the motto:Education anytime anywhere by offering a widerange of Math classes designed to fit around anyone’sbusy schedules.The faculty and staff in mathematics at College ofAlameda are dedicated to working hard with you—helping you succeed in a positive atmosphere that isconducive to your learning math in the most enjoyableand competent manner possible!The AS degree in Mathematics will be awarded uponcompletion of the major course requirements listedbelow and the General Education requirements for theAssociate in Science Degree listed in the Degrees andPrograms section of this <strong>Catalog</strong>.Degree Major Requirements:Dept/No. Title UnitsMATH 3A Calculus I 5MATH 3B Calculus II 5MATH 3C Calculus III 5MATH 3E Linear Algebra 3MATH 3F Differential Equations 3Select one course (4 units) from the following:MATH <strong>11</strong> Discrete Mathematics (4)MATH 12 Symbolic Logic (4)MATH 13 Introduction to Statistics (4) 4Total Required Units 25MATH 2Pre-Calculus with Analytic Geometry5 units, 5 hours lecture (GR)Prerequisite: Math 50 or 52CAcceptable for credit: CSU, UCAdvanced algebra and analytic geometry: Linear,quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic,and inverse functions; determinants, matrices and linearsystems; zeros to polynomials, arithmetic and geometricsequences, mathematical induction; permutations andcombinations, binomial theorem; vectors, conic sections,translation and rotation of axes, polar coordinates, linesand surfaces in space, quadric surfaces. 1701.00AA/AS area 4b, 4e; CSU area B4; IGETC area 2MATH 3ACalculus I5 units, 5 hours lecture (GR)Prerequisite: Math 2; or Math 1, and 50 or 52CAcceptable for credit: CSU, UCTheorems on limits and continuous functions, derivatives,differentials and applications: Fundamental theoremsof calculus and applications; properties of exponential,logarithmic, and inverse trigonometric functions, andhyperbolic functions. 1701.00AA/AS area 4b, 4e; CSU area B4; IGETC area 2MATH 3BCalculus II5 units, 5 hours lecture (GR)Prerequisite: Math 3AAcceptable for credit: CSU, UCApplications of the definite integral: Methods ofintegration, polar coordinates, parametric equations,infinite and power series. 1701.00AA/AS area 4b, 4e; CSU area B4; IGETC area 2MATH 3CCalculus III5 units, 5 hours lecture (GR)Prerequisite: Math 3BAcceptable for credit: CSU, UCPartial differentiation: Jacobians, transformations,multiple integrals, theorems of Green and Stokes,differential forms, vectors and vector functions,geometric coordinates, and vector calculus. 1701.00AA/AS area 4b, 4e; CSU area B4; IGETC area 2
