Majors and Courses of InstructionMathematics and Computer ScienceMathematics (MATH) 104. Great Ideas in Mathematics (Staff)A course intended for non-majors which will emphasize the ideas of modern mathematics. Topicsmay include Number Systems, Infinity, The Fourth Dimension, Chaos and Fractals, Probability,and Chance. No credit can be awarded for this course if a student has previous credit for Math 111or any mathematics course with a higher number than 111. F.105. Basic Probability and Statistics (Linder)Organization and display of data; the meaning of probability, measures of dispersion, binomial andnormal distribution, one and two sample methods, estimation and hypothesis testing, correlationand regression. The MINITAB statistical computing package is used to analyze data. Students maynot count graduation credit for both MATH 105 and PSYC 210. This course cannot be taken afterreceiving credit for MATH 110 or above. Proficiency credit for MATH 110 or 111 may not beawarded after credit for MATH 105. F, S.108. Precalculus Mathematics (Staff)This course is designed for students who wish eventually to take calculus but have insufficientmathematical background. It is expected that these students will have studied Algebra 2 andGeometry in high school. The course will emphasize the techniques and thought processes thatare important in calculus. Principal topics: functions, graphs, exponentials and logarithms,trigonometry, mathematical reasoning, word problems. Use will be made of modern technology.Prerequisite: At least three years of high school mathematics, including two years of algebra andgeometry. S.110. Calculus I (Staff)A detailed treatment of the differential calculus and an introduction to the integral are presented.Symbolic algebra software is introduced and used. Applications to social, life, and physical sciencesare included. Students wishing to major in mathematics or computer science are urged to take thiscourse in the fall of the freshman year. F, S.111. Calculus II (Staff)Continuation of 110. A thorough treatment of integral calculus, including the FundamentalTheorem of calculus. Transcendental functions, followed by a study of techniques of integration,polar coordinates, and infinite series. Computer symbolic algebra projects are included. Prerequisite:110. F, S.210. Multivariable Calculus (Nunemacher)Vectors and geometry of 3-dimensional space, partial derivatives, multiple integrals, and an introductionto vector analysis. Computer symbolic algebra projects are included. Prerequisite: 111. F.230. Applied Statistics (Linder)Calculus-based introductory course in statistics. Exploratory data analysis, questions of causation,probability, continuous and discrete random variables, distributions of sums of random variables,confidence intervals, significance tests, use and abuse of tests, one and two sample procedures,inferences in linear regression, and analysis of variance. Students may not count graduation creditfor both MATH 230 and MATH 105 or both MATH 230 and PYSC 210. Prerequisite: 110. F, S.177
