14 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 111General Mathematics - I3
This is a University Core course in mathematics for non-science majors, designed to develop skills and ability to reason and to master basic algebraic manipulations. The topics include set theory, symbolic logic, and basic algebra. This is a University Core Course in Mathematics taken by Freshmen. The students in this course are introduced to functions, graphs, linear inequalities, matrices, linear programming, the metric system, geometry. The students are trained in critical thinking and problem solving skills to be applied to real world situations. Like mortgage, credit card interests and other topics. This course is the second of a three- sequence study in college mathematics.
Prerequisite: none or Placement Test This is a reinforcement of algebraic manipulations with topics including polynomials, factoring polynomials, and solving linear, quadratic equations, and systems of equations, and introduction to the concept of functions and graphs of linear, quadratic and polynomial functions.
none or Placement Test This is a reinforcement of algebraic manipulations with topics including polynomials, factoring polynomials, and solving linear, quadratic equations, and systems of equations, and introduction to the concept of functions and graphs of linear, quadratic and polynomial functions.
MAT 113 or Placement Test This course integrates the traditional algebraic and trigonometric topics into the study of functions and graphs, utilizing graphing technology. Topics included are polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Emphasis is placed on using available technology as a tool in exploring functions and in problem solving.
MAT 120Mathematics for Elementary Teachers I3
This course prepares STEM-focused elementary teachers by investigating numeration systems and algebraic reasoning. A thorough examination of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division reveals why these operations behave the way they do and what interconnections exist between these operations. The counting numbers are extended to include negative numbers and the study of integer operation. Integer understanding is then expanded to rational numbers by examining fractions and the arithmetic of fractions at a deep level. In addition, the course addresses application of number theory including the study of primes, divisibility, the LCM and GCF. Finally, the course arithmetic to algebraic expressions and linear functions. This course sequence is intended to prepare students for formal admission to the Department of Education.
MAT 120 This course prepares STEM-focused elementary teachers by investigating functions, geometry, statistics and probability. This course begins with an investigation of functions with geometric applications. The study of geometry begins with examination of the basic shapes of one, two, and three dimensions and is followed by an investigation of the basic ways these shapes can be transformed: translation, reflection, and rotation. The study of basic measurement including length, area, surface area, and volume. Next an examination from ratios, rates, and proportions, leads to an understanding of percentages, uncertainty, and chance. This is followed by the study of basic statistics emphasizing measures of central tendency, variance, and ways of organizing data completes the content of this course. This course sequence is intended to prepare students for formal admission to the Department of Education.
MAT 115 This is an introduction to basic probability and statistics concepts with particular reference to biological data. Topics include descriptive statistics, probability distributions, estimating, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, correlation, and regression. A statistical package like MIMITAB or graphing calculators, will be integrated into the course.
MAT 115 or Placement test This is the first of a sequence of three calculus courses. Topics include functions, limits, derivatives and applications, and definite and indefinite integrals.
MAT 201 This is a study of applications of definite integrals, calculus of transcendental functions, techniques of integration, sequences, infinite series, plane curves, conic sections, and polar coordinates.
MAT 202 A study of vectors, algebra and calculus of vectors, analytical geometry in 2 and 3 dimensions, vector valued functions and their derivatives and integrals, functions of several variables, partial derivatives, and applications of derivatives of functions of several variables.
MAT 115 or Instructor’s permission A study of matrices, systems of equations, vectors, vector spaces, linear dependence and independence of vectors, bases, dimension of vector spaces, and linear transformations. Applications to real world problems, using matrices, Marcov chain, Leontief economic models, are also studied.
MAT 203 A study of ordinary differential equations and their solutions, numerical methods of solution, Laplace Transform, Power series solutions, and systems of equations. Also various applications in Physics, engineering, and mechanics are studied.
