MA 102CALCULUS I WITH REVIEW PART A3
This is the first course of a two-semester course sequence that covers the material in MA 109 Calculus with Applications I. This sequence is designed for students who would benefit from additional practice and review of precalculus and algebra. The necessary skills for Calculus will be taught and reviewed as needed for each Calculus topic. Topics covered in MA 102 include functions, factoring, limits, and derivatives. Successful completion of MA 102 and MA 103 fulfills all MA 109 requirements.
This is the second of a two-semester course sequence completing the material covered in MA 109, continuing from the content in MA 102. This will include topics such as derivatives, graphing, applications of 220
This is a one-semester course whose main ideas are emphasized in the presentation of the polynomial, rational, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions. The core of the course is derived from materials best described as a compendium of college algebra, trigonometry, and analytic geometry, which would reinforce those skills essential to calculus. No longer offered regularly.
Quantitative Reasoning is designed to meet the requirements for a liberal arts mathematics course. This course covers a range of topics that connect mathematics to the world around us. Students will learn about critical thinking, set theory, basic probability, finances, and basic statistics.
This is a one-semester course whose main ideas are emphasized as a prelude to calculus. We will review topics in algebra and trigonometry including rational and exponential expressions, functions and their graphs, exponential and logarithmic functions, and trigonometric functions and identities.
*MA-102 and MA-103 can be taken in place of MA-109 Aviation Management requirements: Students pursuing this program will complete BA-150 Managerial Accounting and BA-250 Global Business as part of the Business Core. Option 1: Professional Piloting (54 to 55 credits)-
The ideas and tools of practical statistics using data in context. Methods and strategies for exploring data graphically and quantitatively. Statistical reasoning and the tools of inference that go beyond the data to draw conclusions about a wider population with attention paid to the uncertainty of these conclusions. Students will conduct standard one and two sample statistical analyses. Offered Spring Semester.
An introduction to the theoretical aspects of mathematics. The course will focus on the construction and analysis of mathematical proofs, including direct proof, proof by contrapositive, proof by contradiction, and mathematical induction. The basics of some mathematical logic and sets will be covered as subject matter for the proofs.
