skills by introducing some practical word problems in each section. An introduction to algebra will also be covered. This course does not count towards baccalaureate graduation credits. MAT 106. Beginning Algebra 3 credits This is an introductory course in algebra. Students will learn the basic concepts and applications of algebra. The course will cover real numbers and variables, solving equation and inequalities, solving applied problems, exponents and polynomials, factoring, and graphing. This course does not count toward any program within the mathematics and computer science department. Prerequisite: MAT 090 (or equivalent). MAT 107. Quantitative Analysis 3 credits This course will familiarize students with the scope of mathematical applications in the various disciplines. Concepts and understanding of the applications of elementary set theory, the real number system, probability and statistics, elementary algebra, and consumer mathematics will be emphasized. This course is designed primarily for those students not majoring in mathematics or the sciences. Prerequisite: MAT 090 (or equivalent). Spring MAT 108. Intermediate Algebra 3 credits A course in intermediate algebra for students with inadequate preparation for Mathematics 205. Not counted toward any program within the Mathematics Department. Prerequisite: MAT 106 (or equivalent). MAT 203. Mathematics for Elementary School 3 credits An elective course for those students interested in teaching in the elementary school. Topics include set theory, Venn diagrams, operations in base 10 and other bases, use of math manipulatives to teach basic arithmetic operations, order of operations, integers, factors, working with rational numbers, ratios and proportions, and graphs. Some computer-aided instruction will be used. Prerequisite: MAT 106 (or equivalent). (Offered when interest is expressed and departmental resources permit.) MAT 204. Mathematics for Middle/Junior High School 3 credits An elective course for those students interested in teaching in the middle or junior high schools. Topics include relating fractions and decimals to percents, mixed numbers, scientific notation, and selected areas of algebra, geometry, probability and statistics. Prerequisite: MAT 106 (or equivalent). (Offered when interest is expressed and departmental resources permit.) MAT 205. Elementary Functions 3 credits A study of elementary functions, their graphs and applications, including polynomial, algebraic, rational, exponential, and trigonometric functions. Prerequisite: MAT 108 (or equivalent). MAT 211. Calculus I 4 credits Limits and continuity, derivatives and integrals of algebraic, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions; relevant analytic geometry and applications. Prerequisite: MAT 205 (or equivalent). MAT 212. Calculus II 4 credits A continuation of MAT 211. Techniques of integration are stressed. Prerequisite: MAT 211. MAT 213. Calculus III 3 credits Limits and continuity; infinite series; indeterminate forms; geometry, derivatives, and integration associated with functions of several variables. Prerequisite: MAT 212. Fall MAT 215. Elementary Statistics 3 credits Descriptive statistics, introduction to inferential statistics, applications. Prerequisite: MAT 106. MAT 216. Statics 3 credits Principles of mechanics, force systems, static equilibrium, structures, analysis of frames and trusses, distributed forces, friction, centroids, and moments of inertia. This course is required of all 3-2 engineering (mathematics major) program participants. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor. (Fall 2011 and alternate years) MAT 217. Applied Discrete Mathematics 3 credits Set theory, prepositional logic, Boolean algebra, recurrence relations, combinatorics, matrix algebra, analysis of algorithms, graphs and trees.
