MTH 103Mathematical Reasoning3
This course is designed for the non-science major, to give a new outlook on mathematics and to provide a sense of the beauty and applicability of mathematics in our world. Topics are primarily related to geometry and include shapes in two and three dimensions, conic sections, topology, fractals and applied geometry.
One semester course covering descriptive statistics, statistical measures and distributions, decision making under uncertainty, applications of probability to statistical inference, and linear correlation. Particular emphasis on examples drawn from real world situations.
Development of essential skills in algebra and trigonometry. Topics include the coordinate system, functions and their graphs, solutions of equations and inequalities, introduction to transcendental functions, trigonometric functions and their graphs, trigonometric identities, and the historical and cultural significance of mathematics.
This is the second course in the calculus sequence. Topics include differential and integral calculus for the transcendental functions, advanced methods of integration, and infinite sequences and series.
This course introduces students to the process of reading, understanding and writing rigorous mathematical arguments. Additionally, students will become familiar with computer software used for analyzing math problems and typesetting mathematical documents. This course is a pre-requisite for many upper-level math courses and is intended to help students transition from problem-solving oriented classes such as Calculus into courses focused on understanding and writing proofs. Topics include: basic logic, introductory set theory, functions and relations, and quantifiers.
Introduction to differential equations. Topics include first-order and linear equations, systems of equations, series solutions, and Laplace transform methods with computer-aided study of numerical solutions, and introduction to partial differential equations, and Fourier series.
A survey of the history of our number system and theory of numbers. Topics covered include the development of number systems and mathematics from before the sixth CHATHAM UNIVERSITY CATALOG: 2026-2027 354
The integrative capstone, undertaken by the student during the senior year, is an extended project that helps the student complete their transition from an undergraduate student to a world-ready professional. The study usually centers on the student’s major and may be conducted, at least in part, in the context of a group experience. Such programs are crafted to meet the unique needs of each major, and could include, for example, fieldwork, theater production, creative work in the arts, independent research, or independent readings. The integrative capstone in an interdisciplinary major must have the approval of both academic programs.
