MAT 205 Analytic Geometry (3 Credit Hours) DII
Properties of straight lines, conic sections and other algebraic curves, transcendental curves, polar coordinates, introduction to vectors and elementary 3-dimensional geometry. Not open to Math majors without permission of the Department Chairperson. Three lecture hours per week.
MAT 208 Business Calculus (3 Credit Hours) DII Q
Prerequisite: Completion of the Basic Mathematics Competency Requirement.
Introduction to calculus as applied to business. Differentiation, integration, and their applications are considered in conjunction with polynomial, algebraic, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Three lecture hours per week.
MAT 214A Discrete Structures (4 Credit Hours) DII
Prerequisite: MAT 220 Calculus I.
A study of discrete mathematical structures of interest in computer science and other applied fields. Applications-oriented study of: formal logic, algebra of sets, permutations and combinations, mathematical induction, recursion, graphs, trees, logic gates and circuits and finite state machines. Three lecture hours per week. Not open to students who have already completed MAT 314.
MAT 218 Introduction to Mathematical Computing (1 Credit Hours)
Prerequisite: MAT 220.
An introduction to a computer algebra system. Topics include the application of a computer algebra system to plotting functions, solving equations, simplifying expressions, and the creation of clear and attractive mathematical reports. One lecture hour per week.
MAT 220 Calculus I (4 Credit Hours) DII
Prerequisite: Knowledge of algebra and trigonometry is assumed.
This course includes functions and their limits, slopes and tangent lines, differentiation rules (including those for trigonometric functions), Chain Rule, linearizations, approximations, Newton's Method, extreme values and curve sketching, optimization, and the Mean Value Theorem and its applications. Also included is an introduction to integration with applications to area between curves, the Fundamental Theorems of Integral Calculus and the basic integration techniques. Four lecture hours per week.
MAT 221 Calculus II (4 Credit Hours) DII
Prerequisite: MAT 220
This course is a further development of the calculus of functions of one variable. Topics include logarithmic and exponential functions and their derivatives and integrals, exponential growth and decay, inverse trigonometric functions, techniques of integration, numerical integration with error estimates, applications of the integral, indeterminate forms and l'Hospital's rule. Infinite sequences and infinite series with error estimation. Four lecture hours per week.
MAT 234 Introduction to Mathematical Proof (3 Credit Hours)
Prerequisite: MAT 220.
An introduction to mathematical proof and the fundamental notions of higher mathematics. Topics include the basics of propositional logic, set theory, mathematical induction, functions, equivalence relations, and cardinality with an emphasis on writing proofs. Three lecture hours per week.
MAT 247 Statistics I (3 Credit Hours) DII Q
Prerequisite: Completion of the Basic Mathematics Competency Requirement.
An elementary introduction to statistical concepts, probability, frequency distributions, sampling testing of hypothesis, and linear regression. The emphasis is on practical and usable results, rather than on mathematical derivations. This course can prepare the student for the use of statistics in business, economics, the social sciences, or education. Not open to Math majors without permission of the Department Chairperson. Three lecture hours per week.
