COURSE DESCRIPTIONS MAT* 137S Intermediate Algebra with Embedded Elementary Algebra 4 MAT* 137S - Intermediate Algebra with Embedded Elementary Algebra provides eligible students with opportunity to gain knowledge of topics found in MAT* 095 - Elementary Algebra Foundations. Support will include mandatory computer lab attendance utilizing a mathematics software program, review sessions of MAT* 095 materials, and intensive one-on-one coaching. This course will satisfy the MAT* 137 requirement. (4 credits/6 contact hours) Prerequisite: BSA placement, or MAT* 085 or MAT* 095 with C- or better, and permission of instructor MAT* 143 Math for Elementary Education: Algebra, Number Systems 3 This course is designed for students planning to become certified in early childhood, elementary, or middle school level education. Topics include problem solving, sets, numeration systems, elementary number theory, non-decimal systems and computational algorithms in the elementary school. Prerequisite: MAT* 137 or placement at college level math+ on Basic Skills Assessment MAT* 146 Math for the Liberal Arts 3 This course is designed to acquaint the liberal arts student with a broad spectrum of mathematical ideas not emphasized in traditional algebra based courses. The goals of the course are to develop the mathematical and quantitative capabilities of the students; to enable them to understand a variety of applications of mathematics; to prepare them to think logically in subsequent courses and situations in which mathematics occurs; and to increase their confidence in their ability to reason mathematically. Topics may include: inductive reasoning and problem solving, sets, logic, number systems, counting techniques, elementary probability, graph theory, fractal geometry, voting and appointment, consumer mathematics. Prerequisite: BSA placement at college level+ or MAT* 137 MAT* 160 Statistical Process Control/Statistical Quality Control 2 An introduction to the fundamentals of statistics as it applies to process and quality control. Students will understand the concepts of random sampling, mean, median and modal functions and charting as it applies to both process and product data. Prerequisite: MAT* 095 or placement at college level math on Basic Skills Assessment MAT* 167 Principles of Statistics 3 Theory and application of statistics, including measures of central tendency, variability, probability, binomial and normal distribution, regression and correlation. Introduction to sampling theory and statistical inference. Prerequisite: BSA placement at college level+ or MAT* 137 MAT* 186 Precalculus 4 A review of algebra, simultaneous and quadratic equations, logarithms, the trigonometric functions, circular functions, trigonometric identities, and solutions of triangles. Prerequisite: BSA placement at college level+ or MAT* 137 with C or better MAT* 254 Calculus I 4 This is the first class in the calculus sequence and will include coordinate systems, algebraic functions and graphs, limits and
continuity, derivatives, techniques and applications of differentiation, antiderivatives, the fundamental theorem of calculus, and definite integrals. Prerequisite: MAT* 186 with a grade of C- or better MAT* 256 Calculus II 4 Second course in the calculus sequence. Antiderivatives and applications of the integral, transcendental functions and their inverses, derivatives and integrals of transcendental functions, techniques of integration, numerical methods, improper integrals, indeterminate forms and L’Hopital’s Rules sequences and infinite series. Prerequisite: MAT* 254 with C- or better MAT* 268 Calculus III: Multivariable 4 Third course in the calculus sequence. This course exposes the student to the basics of calculus of several variables. Topics include (but not limited to) curves in parametric and polar forms, vector geometry in space, calculus of vector functions, differential and integral calculus of functions of several variables, and calculus of vector fields. Prerequisite: MAT* 256 with C- or better MAT* 272 Linear Algebra 3 This is an introductory course in linear algebra for students in science and engineering. Topics include: systems of linear equations, matrix algebra, determinants, vectors and vector spaces, linear independence and bases, linear transformations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Prerequisite: MAT* 256 MAT* 285 Differential Equations 4 This is an introductory course in differential equations. Students will learn solution methods for differential equations including selected first-order equations, nth-order equations, and systems of linear equations using matrix techniques, Laplace transforms, and numerical methods. Series techniques for selected linear differential equations including Bessel’s equation will be considered. This course is recommended for science students and required for engineering students. Prerequisite: MAT* 268 with C- or better
MEDICAL ASSISTING MED* 111 Administrative Medical Assisting 3 An introduction to the theory, practice, and techniques of medical office management, professional secretarial responsibilities, reception and appointment scheduling, use of office equipment, business correspondence, and the administrative functions of a medical assistant will be emphasized. MED* 112 Medical Insurance & Billing 3 This course further develops the skills needed to perform the administrative duties of a medical assistant. Continued emphasis is placed on records management, telephone techniques and scheduling appointments. Students will use medical office software to input patient data and to perform billing and other medical administrative functions. Medical insurance, CPT, and ICD-9 coding techniques will also be covered. Prerequisite: BOT* 111 or CSA* 105
