Designed for new students intending a course of study in math or science. The emphasis will be on development of effective learning skills. Topics include reading for learning; working with study teams; managing time; managing stress; coping with pressure and even failure; setting goals; exploring university resources including research and internship opportunities; and talking with upper class students about adjusting and career choices. Restricted to freshman mathematics and mathematics education majors. Graded CR/NC. (Equivalent to BIOL 112, CHEM 112.)
Review of basic algebra, linear equations and inequalities, functions and graphs, systems of linear equations, polynomials, factoring, quadratic equations, exponential and logarithmic functions. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or successful completion of 091. Students who successfully completed 091 are required to take 081 as a co-requisite. QL
Linear equations and functions, systems of equations, quadratic equations and functions, functions and graphs, polynomial and rational functions, exponentials and logarithmic functions, and conic sections. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or successful completion of 091. Students who successfully completed 091 are required to take 081 as a co-requisite. QL
This course focuses on the concepts and applications of trigonometry. The primary goal is to prepare students for their calculus course. Topics covered include the basics of the trigonometric functions and their graphs and applications, trigonometric identities and equations, the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines, vectors, complex numbers, conic sections, parametric equations and polar coordinates. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or grade of C or higher in 111 or 112. QL
An introductory course with an emphasis on interpreting results and drawing conclusions from real life data. Topics include summarizing and plotting data, surveys, bias, probability, random variables, sampling distributions, hypothesis testing and confidence intervals for proportions and means, chi-square tests, and linear regression. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or successful completion of 091. Students who successfully completed 091 are required to take 083 as a co-requisite. QL
One hour of lab per week. Develop a basic understanding of programming to manipulate data sets and generate presentation-quality plots.
An investigation of topics such as the history of mathematics, number systems, the mathematics of voting, graph theory, geometry, logic, probability, and statistics. There is an emphasis on problem-solving. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or successful completion of 091. QL
Overview of foundational math skills for PK-9 (elementary-middle) school teachers. This course is restricted to students in the professional degree completion program.
Limits, continuity, derivatives, applications, and an introduction to the integral. Differentiation of polynomial, rational, trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential functions. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score, or at least three years of high school algebra and trigonometry with at least a B average, or a grade of C or higher in 113. QL
Integration techniques including substitution, by parts, and approximate integration. Applications of integration including area, volume, arc length, surface area, center of mass, and probability. The course also covers differential equations, direction fields, growth models, sequences, and infinite series. Prerequisite: C or higher in 220. QL
