MAT - Mathematics
MAT 109 - Introductory Mathematics
(4 Credits)
Designed for those
students with little or no experience with algebra. Emphasis is
placed on the basic concepts found in algebra including operations
with signed numbers, fractions, properties of real numbers, order of
operations, inequalities, evaluation and simplification of algebraic
expressions, solutions to linear equations with applications,
exponents, polynomials, and factoring.
MAT 111 - College
Algebra
(4 Credits)
A course which is designed to enhance the student's essential
algebra skills. Topics include linear equations and applications,
inequalities, graphing, exponents, polynomials, factoring, and rational
expressions. Applications in the real world are emphasized. The TI 83
graphing calculator is used. MAT 136 -
Precalculus (4 Credits)
A focus on functions:
notation, graphs, manipulation, evaluation and interpretation. Word
problems involving functions are explored in depth with stress placed on
interpretation of solutions. Algebraic, exponential and logarithmic
functions are included. Techniques to simplify expressions and equations
involving functions are investigated. Students assess and analyze
problems, prepare and implement plans of action, interpret results and
revise plans of action in an organized format. Group work and written
communication skills are encouraged. The graphical calculator plays a
significant role, particularly for its programming and graphing
capabilities.
Prerequisite: MAT 111
or equivalent
MAT 234 - Finite Mathematics (4
Credits)
This course is divided
into three parts. Part I is a study of logic, with emphasis on logic
operations, truth tables, arguments, and analyzing arguments with truth
tables. Part II introduces the student to sets, basic counting
techniques and probability topics. Part III covers the method of linear
programming, presenting both the graphical method and the simplex
method. Special topics such as Markov chains will be also introduced.
The graphical calculator TI 83 is required for this course.
Prerequisite: MAT 136 or equivalent
MAT 298 -
Calculus I (4 Credits)
The students will be introduced to calculus and its
application in various areas. Business applications will be
emphasized. After a review of functions, limits and continuity
will be introduced. Emphasis will be placed on differential
calculus and a variety of advanced applications in business and other
areas and topics will complete the course.
Prerequisite: MAT
136 or equivalent
MAT 299 -
Calculus II (4 Credits)
The students will be introduced to integration, numerical integration,
and applications of integrations. Special topics and applications to
business and finance will be covered. An introduction to differential
equations and applications to continuous probability models will
complete the course.
