MATH 115 TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS (3) A study of ratio, proportions and percents, geometry and elementary trigonometry with an emphasis on the mathematical analysis of problems encountered in a wide variety of technical fields. Topics include plane geometry, metric and standard measurement and conversions, trigonometric functions, trigonometric identities and vectors. Prerequisite: MATH 102. Offered: Occasionally. Three lecture hours.

MATH 119 APPLICATIONS OF MATHEMATICS FOR (3) NONSCIENCE MAJORS The course, designed for nonscience majors, covers many applications of mathematical concepts. The applications include consumer finance, probability and statistics, as well as possible topics in managerial decision making processes, coding, social-decision making or symmetry in growth. Emphasis is placed upon the application of mathematical theory and the development of problem-solving abilities with appropriate use of technology. Prerequisite: MATH 102. Offered: Summer, Fall and Spring. NMGECC: Area II – Mathematics. Three lecture hours. * MATH 121 COLLEGE ALGEBRA (4) A study of equations and inequalities, functions and graphs, matrices and determinants, complex numbers, polynomials, and exponential and logarithmic functions. It includes instruction on a graphing utility. Prerequisite: MATH 109 or MATH 110. Offered: Summer, Fall and Spring. NMCCNS: MATH 1114. NMGECC: Area II – Mathematics. Four lecture hours. * MATH 135 INTRODUCTION TO PROBABILITY (3) AND STATISTICS An introductory course in statistical methodology. Exploratory, robust, nonparametric and classical methods (descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, paired differences, chi-square tests, correlation, linear regression and one-way ANOVA) and the applications of probability are studied. The course includes laboratory time in which students use calculators and/or computers to work on individual or group projects. Prerequisite: MATH 109 or MATH 110 or MATH 119. Offered: Summer, Fall and Spring. NMCCNS: MATH 2113. NMGECC: Area II – Mathematics. Two lecture hours, two lab hours. * MATH 150 PRE-­‐CALCULUS (4) An in-depth study of topics including limits, systems of equations and inequalities, functions and graphs, matrices and determinants, conic sections, complex numbers, polynomial, exponential and logarithmic functions, sequence, series, and probability. Laboratory time is included in which students either use technology to work on projects or work on group activities that strengthen concepts learned in class. Prerequisite: MATH 110 or MATH 121.Offered: Summer, Fall and Spring. Three lecture hours, two lab hours. 230
