    MATH 1010 Fundamentals of Mathematics (3)

    Develops and strengthens the concepts and skills of elementary mathematics, particularly skills related to various disciplines of the college curriculum. For credit only. 



    MATH 1050 Basic Algebra (3)

    Introduces the basic topics of algebra, including linear and quadratic equations.



    MATH 1200 Topics in Mathematics (3)

    For students interested in applications of elementary mathematics to everyday life. May be repeated for credit if content differs.



    MATH 1360 Business Mathematics (3)

    This course provides the student with a variety of opportunities to strengthen math skills necessary for analyzing numerical information and solving practical business problems. Students will learn to translate business-related problems into simple equations. Topics include applications of ratio and proportion, computing taxes, commercial discounts, simple and compound interest, basic statistics, and graphs.



    MATH 1370 Business Applications of Algebra (3)

    This course will emphasize the use of basic algebra concepts in solving numerical problems common in business and management. Students will apply skills of writing, solving, and graphing elementary equations. Students will apply basic linear programming methods to management science problems.



    MATH 1410 Introductory College Mathematics (3)

    Covers various topics of mathematics that are both conceptual and practical. Course is designed to enable a student to appreciate mathematics and its application to numerous disciplines and professions.



    MATH 1420 Modular Algebra (3)

    This course explores algebra through the lens of the modular systems, each a finite and unique world generated by remainders. Students will develop number sense, problem-solving skills, and a deeper understanding of arithmetic and algebra as they experience the beauty, underlying structure, surprising results, and creative potential of mathematics.



    MATH 1430 College Algebra (3)

    Covers sets, the real number system, functions, equations, inequalities, and logarithms.



    MATH 1440 Trigonometry (3)

    Presents trigonometric functions using the unit circle. Prerequisite: MATH 1430 or equivalent competence.



    MATH 1470 Survey of Calculus (3)

    Introduces the ideas of calculus without the rigor associated with the course in the standard calculus sequence. It can be used by students who are not mathematics or science majors to understand the concepts of calculus well enough to apply them to their own discipline. It might also be used as a stepping stone to get a head start before taking the standard calculus course. The emphasis is on computational ability, problem solving, and applications. Prerequisite: proficiency in algebra.



    MATH 1490 Finite Mathematics (3)

    Studies set terminology and operations, subsets, the power set, Cartesian products, and finite cardinality, relations as sets of ordered pairs, characteristic functions, digraphs, functions as relations, types of functions and relations. Prerequisite: MATH 1430.



    MATH 1580 Formal Logic (3)

    Covers all the fundamental topics in deductive logic. A thorough introduction to propositional and predicate logic.



    MATH 1600 Calculus I Lab (1)

    Supplementary experiences with applications and technology designed to augment the understanding of Calculus I. May be repeated once for credit. Prerequisite: taken concurrently with MATH 1610.



    MATH 1610 Calculus I (5)

    Introduces differential and integral calculus of one variable, culminating in the fundamental theorem of calculus. Introduces calculus of transcendental functions. May be repeated once for credit. Prerequisite: high school trigonometry or MATH 1440 with grade of B or better. Only offered in a 16-week format.



    MATH 1620 Calculus II (5)

    Continues the study of calculus: the transcendental functions, techniques of integration, applications of the integral, polar coordinates, parametric equations, sequences, and series. Prerequisite: MATH 1610. Only offered in a 16-week format.



    MATH 1630 Calculus II Lab (1)

    Supplementary experience with applications and technology, designed to augment the understanding of Calculus II. Prerequisite: taken concurrently with MATH 1620.



    MATH 2450 Introduction to Abstract Mathematics (3)
