6 courses with the subject MTH, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
MTH 101Numbers and Operations3
This course introduces the student to numbers, ways in which numbers can be represented, relationships among numbers, and number systems. The student learns the meaning and effects of arithmetic operations with fractions, decimals, and integers. In addition, the student gains proficiency in selecting and using appropriate methods and tools for computations, and in developing and using strategies for estimation and judging the reasonableness of results. Three lecture hours per week.
This course introduces future educators to numbers, representation of numbers and the relationship between numbers. Future educators will develop an understanding and proficiency of different algorithms for operations with fractions, decimals and integers. In addition, the students will learn to interpret and solve problems involving these operations, and in developing and using strategies for estimation and judging the reasonableness of results. While this is not a methods course, it will be taught using different pedagogical techniques that are used in the elementary classroom. Three lecture hours per week.
Develops students’ understanding of functions necessary for calculus and their ability to employ them appropriately. Topics include linear, quadratic, and other polynomial functions; exponential and logarithmic functions and applications; and trigonometry. Three lecture hours per week.
This course introduces calculus using analytic geometry functions. Topics include limits and continuity, derivatives, optimization, related rates, graphing and other applications of derivatives, definite and indefinite integrals, and numerical integration. Three lecture hours per week.
MTH 228Statistics for the Social and Natural Sciences3
An applied approach to statistics designed to enhance students’ ability to understand and analyze the types of data encountered in the social and natural sciences. Topics covered will include probability, mathematical models, measures of central tendency and variation, and selection of appropriate statistical tests for analysis of data. Three lecture hours per week.
