48 courses with the subject MATH, 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.
MATH 100Preparatory Mathematics3
A course designed to prepare students deficient in mathematics for successful performance in the mathematics courses required for degree programs. This course does not fulfill graduation requirements of a mathematics course and may not be taken after successful completion of any other mathematics course at Saint Francis University. Fall and as needed.
Designed for students in a variety of majors. This course seeks to develop analytic and quantitative reasoning skills and the ability to solve quantitative problems. Topics to be covered include construction and interpretation of graphs, functional relationships, descriptive statistics, geometry and spatial visualization, mathematics of finance, exponential growth, and basic probability. Appropriate use of units and dimensions, estimates, mathematical notation and available technology will be emphasized throughout the course. Fall, Spring.
MATH 102Special Topics in Math: Making a Difference Math Academy1-3
Students in small groups will work on projects in which they apply mathematical concepts in physical science, engineering science, finance, statistics, economic, medical, social and biological sciences. At the end of the semester, they write reports and give oral presentations.
MATH 105Mathematical Content Knowledge for Teaching I3
This course is the first of two courses designed to prepare pre-service teachers with the mathematical content knowledge needed for teaching grades K-8. The course emphasizes a deep conceptual understanding of the base 10 number system and the four basic operations on whole numbers, decimals, and fractions. The use of manipulatives and technology will support learning and teaching of these topics. Problem solving is emphasized throughout. Fall, Summer.
This college level algebra course covers operations involving polynomials and radical expressions, methods of solving quadratic equations, evaluating and graphing functions, and solving systems of equations and inequalities. Fall, Spring.
Essential mathematical background needed in calculus. It includes topics such as: functions, graphs, analytic geometry, polynomials, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometry, triangles, complex numbers and systems of equations. Fall, Spring.
Discrete Mathematics is the study of structures that are discrete rather than those that are continuous. This is a mathematics course designed for students of computer science and, therefore, it is focused on topics that appear in computer science courses. Topics include data representation, entropy, proof strategies with a particular emphasis on proof by induction, sets, functions, counting and countability, finite state machines, computability, and recursive structures. Spring.
An introduction to proof and standard mathematical structures to prepare students for studying abstract mathematics. Topics include logic, set theory, relations, functions, and induction. Spring, alternate years.
Sessions will cover a variety of student-centered topics from student life, undergraduate research opportunities and presentations, graduate professional school entrance exams, career planning and preparation. Fall.
Sports analytics refers to the use of data and quantitative methods to measure performance and make decisions to gain advantage in the competitive sports arena. This course is designed to help students to develop and apply analytical skills that are useful in business, using sports as the application area. These skills include critical thinking, mathematical modelling, statistical analysis, predictive analytics, game theory, optimization and simulation. These skills will be applied to sports in this course but are equally useful in many areas of business. As needed.
Sessions will cover a variety of student-centered topics from student life, undergraduate research opportunities and presentations, graduate/professional school entrance exams, career planning and preparation. Fall.
Axiomatic development of neutral geometry. Models of Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry. History of Euclidean geometry and the discovery of hyperbolic geometry. As needed.
MATH 311 - Approximation Methods I , CPSC 212 - Approximation Methods I , or MATH 322 - Linear Algebra . As needed.
MATH 315Financial Mathematics I3
This course, the first of a two-course sequence, provides students with a mathematical treatment of investment and credit. It covers the second part of material required for the FM/2 actuarial exam.

The integration of classroom theory with practical work experience under which students have specific periods of attendance at college and specific periods of employment, either full- or part-time, with or without pay. Credit may vary from three to 15 credits, but no more than four credits may be counted toward major requirements, with additional credits counted as free electives. Open only to Mathematics majors with approval of the department chair VPAA. As needed.
