MATH 131 Calculus B (3)
(A continuation of MATH 130.) Prerequisite: MATH 130. A
study of definite and indefinite integrals. Topics include
calculations of area between curves; applications of integrals
(including volumes, arc length, surface, work, and moments);
area in polar coordinates; exponential, logarithmic, inverse
trigonometric, and hyperbolic functions; and integration by parts.
Students may receive credit for only one of the following courses:
MATH 131, MATH 140, MATH 141, MATH 220, or
MATH 221.
MATH 132 Calculus C (3)
(A continuation of MATH 131.) Prerequisite: MATH 131.
Further study of integrals. Topics include techniques of integration
(including parts, trigonometric substitution, and partial fractions);
improper integrals; sequences and series (including convergence
tests, Taylor polynomials, and Taylor’s theorem); conic sections;
and vectors (including dot and cross products). Students may
receive credit for only one of the following courses: MATH 132,
MATH 141, or MATH 221.
MATH 240 Introduction to Linear Algebra (4)
Prerequisite: MATH 141. An explanation of the basic concepts
of linear algebra. Topics include vector spaces, applications to line
and plane geometry, linear equations, and matrices, as well as
linear transformations, changes of basis, diagonalization, similar
matrices, Jordan canonical forms, eigenvalues, determinants, and
quadratic forms. Students may receive credit for only one of the
following courses: MATH 240, MATH 400, or MATH 461.
MATH 241 Calculus III (4)
Prerequisites: MATH 141. An introduction to multivariable
calculus. Exposition covers vectors and vector-valued functions;
partial derivatives and applications of partial derivatives (such as
tangent planes and Lagrangian multipliers); multiple integrals;
volume; surface area; and the classical theorems of Green, Stokes,
and Gauss.
MATH 246 Differential Equations (3)
Prerequisite: MATH 141. An introduction to the basic methods
of solving differential equations. Separable, exact, and linear
differential equations are addressed. The main techniques
considered are undetermined coefficients, series solutions, Laplace
transforms, and numerical methods. Students may receive credit
only once under this course number.
UMUC Course Descriptions — MATH 131 through MGRK 334
Modern Greek
Courses in Modern Greek (designated MGRK) may be applied
as appropriate (according to individual program requirements)
toward:
• the general education requirements for arts and humanities
and international perspective coursework;
• a major or minor in humanities (when appropriate); and
• electives.
MGRK 111 Elementary Modern Greek I (3)
(Assumes no prior knowledge of Greek. Fulfills the international
perspective requirement.) An elementary study of Modern Greek.
Emphasis begins with oral communication skills, and leads to
balanced proficiency in the four communication skills of listening,
speaking, reading, and writing. Topics include basic structures,
vocabulary, pronunciation, and writing, as well as elements of
culture, history, and geography. Authentic text from native
speakers is used as much as possible.
MGRK 112 Elementary Modern Greek II (3)
(Fulfills the international perspective requirement.) Prerequisite:
MGRK 111. Continued basic study of Modern Greek,
emphasizing oral communication and leading to a balanced
development of proficiency in the four communication skills of
listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Basic structures,
vocabulary, pronunciation, and writing are practiced along with
continued familiarity with culture, history, and geography. Oral
and written authentic text from native speakers is used as much
as possible.
MGRK 211 Intermediate Modern Greek I (3)
(Fulfills the international perspective requirement.) Prerequisite:
MGRK 112. A continued study of Modern Greek emphasizing
balanced development of professional proficiency in the four
communication skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Grammatical structure, vocabulary, pronunciation, and
composition are practiced along with continued study of culture,
history, and geography. Classes are conducted mostly in Greek
and using authentic text from native speakers.
MGRK 212 Intermediate Modern Greek II (3)
(Fulfills the international perspective requirement.) Prerequisite:
MGRK 211. A continued study of Modern Greek emphasizing
balanced development of professional proficiency in the four
communication skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Grammatical structure, vocabulary, pronunciation, and
composition are practiced along with continued study of culture,
history, and geography. Classes are conducted almost entirely in
Greek and using authentic text from native speakers.
MGRK 333 Greek Life and Culture I (3)
(Conducted in English. Fulfills the historical or international
perspective requirement.) A study of Greek contribution to
western civilization, including architecture, art, literature,
philosophy, and political thought. Emphasis is on ancient Greece.
MGRK 334 Greek Life and Culture II (3)
(Conducted in English. Fulfills the historical or international
perspective requirement.) A study of Greek contribution to
western civilization, including architecture, art, literature,
philosophy, and political thought. Emphasis is on Modern
Greece.
