9 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 111College Algebra4
Students will examine real numbers, algebraic operations, and factoring; solve linear and nonlinear equations and inequalities; graph polynomial, rational, and radical functions; solve systems of equations; and develop mathematical reasoning skills for future coursework. Offered fall and spring.
faculty Students will explore polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions, studying their algebraic and graphical properties. A comprehensive review of algebraic methods will emphasize preparation for calculus. Offered spring.
meets the Peace Core Mathematical Reasoning requirement faculty Students will be introduced to descriptive and inferential statistical concepts, including elementary probability, frequency distribution, random variables, binomial and normal distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, correlation, and linear regression. Most students should take this course during the sophomore year. Offered fall, spring, and summer.
MAT 111, MAT 112, or MAT 203; or by permission of the mathematics
MAT 203Contemporary Mathematics4
meets the Peace Core Mathematical Reasoning requirement faculty Students will be introduced to contemporary uses of mathematics, including problem- solving techniques and applications in sets and logic, right triangle trigonometry and vectors, and the mathematics of finance. Additional topics from linear systems and programming, matrices, probability and counting, voting and apportionment, and graph theory may be included as time allows. Offered fall and spring.
MAT 111, MAT 112, or MAT 201; or by permission of the mathematics
MAT 241Calculus with Analytic Geometry I4
meets the Peace Core Mathematical Reasoning requirement faculty Students will study limits, derivatives, and anti-derivatives of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions as well as the application of calculus to graphing functions, the fundamental theorem of calculus, and definite integrals. Offered fall. 158 | 2026-27 William Peace University Academic Catalog

MAT 295/395/495: Special Topics1-4
A course whose content may vary from term to term according to the needs of the academic department, student demand or the interests of the faculty member.
A course of study addressing a specific topic or problem of interest to a student, designed collaboratively by the student and faculty member(s), and resulting in a paper, report, critiqued performance or production, or other assessable evidence of value added to the student’s educational experience. A contract of expectations by the student and by the supervising faculty member(s) must be approved by the advisor and the Vice President for Academic Affairs prior to registration. No more than eight (8) semester hours toward the baccalaureate degree can consist of directed study credit. 159 | 2026-27 William Peace University Academic Catalog
