26 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 095Algebra (3) A study of basic algebraic
concepts and skills that underlie college-level mathematics and are required background for core science and statistics courses. The course may not be taken as an audit. Every semester. This course does count for financial aid and full-time enrollment. NOTE: This course does not earn credit toward graduation.
A rigorous review of Algebra I and II with some geometry. Every semester. Math proficiency (see Math Proficiency in the College Catalog) or Mathematics Department permission is required. If being used to satisfy math proficiency, must earn a grade of C- or better.
ACT 21, Math CLT Quant at least 19. A detailed study of trigonometry. Students may take only one course for credit from MAT 102 and MAT 120. Spring semester.
(or equivalent) 3 *** The EDU 211 pre-professional requirement is completed in the Social Sciences category of the Geneva College Core general curriculum; therefore these 3 credits are not added into the above published list of Pre-Professional Courses. Teaching majors should plan to do their student teaching during the spring semester of their senior year, except under special circumstances. Successful completion of the English with Secondary Education major with a 3.0 grade point average or better, together with passing the pre-professional and content area examinations mandated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, will qualify a Geneva College student for certification to teach English on the secondary level. Most states honor Pennsylvania’s certification. Geneva College is not responsible for students who will not be certified because of failure to meet certification requirements at the time of graduation. Writing Major BA – Program requirements In addition to the required 24 credits in the English Major Core Curriculum, a student majoring in Writing must complete 22 credit hours in Writing courses. The writing major is designed to develop general writing skills while emphasizing creative writing. NOTE: The writing major is not a journalism major. 6-2027 71
score at least 21, Math CLT Quant at least 19; MAT 101 or MAT 102. Designed to prepare students for Calculus I. Review of algebraic manipulations, functions, trigonometry, radicals, complex numbers, logarithms, and conic sections. Five hours per week. Students may take only 026-2027 127
Exponential and logarithmic functions, inverse trig functions, L’Hopital’s rule, techniques of integration, infinite series, series expansions, and polar coordinates. Five hours per week. Every semester.
Multivariable calculus; introductory linear algebra and differential equations; partial derivatives; multiple integrals. Five hours per week. Every semester.
A rigorous, mathematical development of many of the topics introduced in MAT 265. In addition, sampling methods, joint probability distributions, order statistics, and selected topics related to actuarial science will be covered. A special emphasis on topics related to the Society of Actuaries P Exam with the goal of preparing students to succeed in the P Exam. Fall semester, odd years.
or permission of the instructor. Solution of linear and nonlinear equations, polynomial interpolation and extrapolation, numerical differentiation and integration, ordinary differential equations, matrix operations. Fall semester, even years.
Education (2) Today’s efforts to reform the teaching of mathematics will be examined in an historical context. Both the history of mathematics education and the history of mathematical thought will be explored. The great thinkers and their contribution to mathematical thought will be highlighted. The implications of various worldviews, including a Christian worldview, concerning the nature of mathematics and mathematics pedagogy will be examined. Spring semester.
School (2) An introduction to curriculum resources focusing on what is critical for students to know and be able to do. Emphasis is on creating unity among the written, taught, and tested curricula. Those taking the course will become knowledgeable about and able to use the standards of the State of Pennsylvania and the National Council for the Teaching of Mathematics (NCTM) with regard to their own teaching of mathematics. Spring semester.
Prerequisite or corequisite: MAT 405. Sturm-Liouville Theory. Fourier analysis and boundary value problems. The heat and wave equations. Spring semester, even years.
permission. Covers an advanced topic in mathematics or statistics according to student interest. Possible topics include Advanced Real Analysis or Topology. Spring semester, odd years.
Independent senior work on a project related to mathematics culminating in a written paper and an oral presentation. May be literature-related or connected with faculty-student research or applied projects. Fulfills the Major Capstone Experience for the Applied Mathematics major. MAT 199, 491, 493, 494, 495, 499 (See page 14) MECHANICAL ENGINEERING MEE
