23 courses with the subject MAT, 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.
MAT 100Intermediate Algebra3
A further study in high school mathematics, MAT 100 includes functions and graphs, solving second-degree equations and systems of linear equations, fractional exponents and radicals, inequalities, and algebraic fractions. This course will not satisfy the mathematics requirement for graduation. Offered as needed. SPECIALIZED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES Many academic disciplines across the College offer students the option of pursuing specialized learning opportunities through directed studies, independent studies, internships, special topic seminars, and teaching assistantships. For more information about provisions governing such options in particular programs, consult the appropriate Division Chair or major coordinator. Instructors have permission to override prerequisites into their own courses. Directed Study (variable course number) 1-4 credit hours Directed Study is the teaching of a Catalog course when issues of scheduling prevent a student from taking the course as a regular, classroom offering. The Directed Study option should be taken on those rare occasions when a Catalog course needed for the student’s major is not being offered in time for the student to graduate. The course carries the same designation as the regular course (e.g., PSY 101). The faculty member and student work together to complete the same subject matter covered in the course during the regular term, governed by the following conditions: • Student Eligibility: 1) 48 or more completed semester hours; 2) completed at least one semester at Brevard College; 3) a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher; and 4) course will not be offered in schedule in time to prevent postponement of the student’s degree requirements, or there is a time conflict between two courses specifically required for the degree, neither of which may be postponed without a delay in the completion of degree requirements. • Planning and Approval: The faculty member confers with the Division Chair about the work load implications of offering a directed study during the semester in question. Upon receiving Division Chair approval the faculty member and student complete an application and arrange the syllabus and expectations for the course. • Registration: The student submits a completed application to the Office of the Registrar for processing no later than the end of the add period for the semester in which the course is to be taken. • Minimum Student Contact: Minimum student contact with the faculty member directing the study will be five hours per semester, per hour of credit awarded. • Limitations: Faculty members may direct a total of three-four credit hours of Directed Study and/or Independent Study per semester. • Recording: Any course taken by Directed Study will be listed on the student’s official transcript by the prefix, course number, and title used in the Catalog. • Credits toward Graduation: Students may register for a maximum of ten credits of Directed Study and/or Independent Study, with no more than four credits being undertaken in any given registration period, without the prior approval of the Vice President of Academic Affairs. • Grades: The faculty member evaluates the student’s academic progress and records a grade as for other courses. Independent Study 289/389/489 1-4 credit hours Students may seek approval to pursue specially designed independent study courses. Independent study courses provide the student with an opportunity to pursue/research a subject in more depth and in a more independent manner than would be possible in a traditional course. Courses are developed in concert with faculty interests and specialties and carry variable credits (normally one to three semester hours). The following conditions 130
A survey of topics designed to foster an appreciation for mathematics by studying mathematical systems not ordinarily encountered in high school. Topics may include: probability, cryptography, logic, graph theory, voting and apportionment methods, history of mathematics, and others. Prerequisite: MAT 100 (with a grade of C- or higher) or placement. Offered every fall and spring. Meets General Education Category Mathematical Thinking.
Concepts and manipulations of inequalities, absolute value, and functions of one variable: linear, quadratic, absolute value, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions; and introduction to analytic geometry. MAT 121 serves as preparation for MAT 211. Algebraic and pictorial points of view are stressed simultaneously. Prerequisite: MAT 100 (with grade of C- or higher) or placement. Offered every fall and spring. Meets General Education Category Mathematical Thinking.
An introduction to basic statistical concepts: descriptive statistics, probability, the binomial and normal distributions, estimation, hypotheses tests, linear correlation and regression. Examples are drawn from disciplines of common interest to a variety of students Prerequisite: MAT 100 (with grade of C- or higher) or placement. Offered every fall and spring. Meets General Education Category Mathematical Thinking; Information Literacy Focus Area.
Properties and algorithms of the real numbers are emphasized in this course. A course designed to enhance conceptual understanding of elementary mathematics. Pre-requisite: MAT 141 with grade of C- or higher. Meets General Education Category Mathematical Thinking
A study of functions, limits and continuity, differentiation of algebraic and trigonometric functions, applications of differentiation, antiderivatives, the definite integral, and the fundamental theorem of calculus. Prerequisite: MAT 121 (with a grade of C- or higher) or placement. Offered fall semester. Meets General Education Category Mathematical Thinking.
Applications of the integral, transcendental functions and their derivatives, introduction to differential equations, techniques of integration, improper integrals and indeterminate forms, and infinite series. General Education Category Mathematical Thinking. 172
Students will be able to reflect on their personal development, strengths and weaknesses, and clarify goals for personal growth. Students will also declare a major program to support their post- graduate plans, complete a roadmap for their personal and professional interests, and chart potential opportunities on that path. May be substituted within majors. Prerequisite: FYE 104/149.
Simultaneous linear equations; vectors; matrices; vector spaces; linear transformations; determinants; and eigenvalues. Prerequisite: MAT 200 and 211 (with grade of C- or higher). Offered spring of odd years.
Algebra, topology, and geometric representation of complex numbers; analytic functions of a complex variable, including integration, Taylor and Laurent series, residues, and an introduction to conformal
Written and oral presentations by students of the results of extensive research on advanced topics selected by the faculty and students. Meets General Education Categories Intensive Writing and Presentational Speaking.
An applied methods course designed to prepare graduate students for statistical analyses in their dis- ciplines, providing solid grounding in the theory behind statistical tests they will use in their fields of study. The course has no statistics prerequisites but assumes academic maturity at the graduate level. Descriptive statistics, discrete and continuous probability distributions (including binomial and nor- mal), linear correlation, regression, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Statistical software will be used in the application of theory. 209
