differentiation and integration as applied to graphs of functions and problems
in technology.
Prerequisite: MAT 111.
MAT 121-College Algebra 3 Sem.-Hrs.
An advanced course in Algebra. The course is designed as one of the prerequisites
that prepares the student for Calculus. Topics studied include: linear, polynomial,
rational, exponential and logarithmic functions and their graphs, equation
solving and systems of equations. A graphing calculator is required.
Prerequisite: Placement by exam or MAT 105.
MAT 122-Plane Trigonometry 3 Sem.-Hrs.
A college level course in trigonometry designed as one of the prerequisites that
prepares a student for Calculus. Topics studied include: right triangle trigonometry,
circular trigonometry, trigonometric functions and their graphs, identities, polar
coordinate systems and applications. A graphing calculator is required.
Prerequisite: MAT 105 or MAT 121 or placement by exam.
MAT 125-College Algebra & Trigonometry 5 Sem.-Hrs.
A complete course designed to fulfill both prerequisites for Calculus. Topics
include those covered from MAT 121 and MAT 122. A graphing calculator is
required.
Prerequisite: Placement by exam or MAT 105.
MAT 140-Calculus for Business and the Social Science 3 Sem.-Hrs.
A practical approach to Calculus that stresses applications to business and economics.
Topics studied include: functions, modeling, rates of change, and applications
of derivatives. A graphing calculator is required.
Prerequisite: Placement by exam or MAT 121.
MAT 151-Analytic Geometry & Calculus I 4 Sem.-Hrs.
A first level College Calculus course. Topics studied include: limits, continuity,
differentiation, and applications of the derivative. The course concludes with an
introduction to anti-differentiation. A graphing calculator is required.
Prerequisites: MAT 121 and MAT 122 or MAT 125.
MAT 251-Analytic Geometry & Calculus II 4 Sem.-Hrs.
A continuation of the topics from Calculus I including integration, and applications
of integration and differentiation. Exponential, logarithmic and hyperbolic
functions are studied. A graphing calculator is required.
Prerequisite: MAT 151.
MAT 252-Analytic Geometry & Calculus III 4 Sem.-Hrs.
A continuation of Calculus I and II. Topics studied include: infinite sequences
and series, vectors, functions of several variables, partial derivatives and multiple
integration. A graphing calculator is required.
Prerequisite: MAT 251.
MAT 260-Discrete Mathematics 3 Sem.-Hrs.
This course is intended to be an introduction to pure or abstract mathematics,
especially as it applies to Computer Science. It is recommended for those majoring
in Mathematics as an introduction to proof, analysis of algorithms, and the underlying
logical structure of mathematics. It is a required course in the Computer Science
curriculum and is recommended for all students interested in software and/
or computer engineering. Topics studied include logic, proofs, sets, relations, functions,
algorithms, counting methods, probability, graph theory and trees.
Prerequisite: MAT 121.
