34 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 102College Algebra I3
Fall/Spring This course is designed to develop students’ algebra skills. Topics include algebra and problem-solving exercises and activities. This course may not be used to fulfill the general education quantitative fluency requirement. The credit hours earned will count as elective credits. 3 credit hours
Fall/Spring The MAT104 Algebra Recitation course is a companion course to MAT 171 designed to help students solidify algebra skills needed in MAT 171 . Students practice and become proficient with the algebra or other skills needed to succeed in MAT 171 , building confidence in their mathematics skills. 1 credit hour
Fall/Spring This course is designed to prepare students in the algebraic skills needed for MAT 120 , MAT 171 , or QBA 260 . Topics include working with and resolving algebraic expressions, equations in one and two variables, systems of equations, quadratic equations, polynomial functions, exponents, logarithms, summation notation and applications to statistics. 4 credit hours
Fall This course details the history of codes and ciphers from ancient times to present, including their role in times of war and peace, as well as in literature. The impact made by their successes and failures are examined. The importance of such systems in the information age for individuals, as well as corporations and governments, is also covered. This course is aimed at a general audience and is not for Mathematics or Computer Science majors. 3 credit hours
In this course, students will use quantitative reasoning in posed real-life situations and basic mathematical skills in the following areas: arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis. Knowledge gained will enable students to begin to develop and demonstrate college level abilities and choices in areas appropriate to the discipline, such as communicating with audiences, working cooperatively and collaboratively, using technology in a more skillful manner, and applying knowledge beyond academia. 3 credit hours
MAT 111Critical Thinking and Problem Solving in Mathematics3
Fall/Spring The course will emphasize the use of mathematics to solve problems and will present situations where students develop critical-thinking skills. Topics may include inductive and deductive reasoning, statistics, financial management, units, percentages, probability, and exponential growth.
Placement into MAT111 is based on MSAT and high school mathematics background. Students who believe that they need additional mathematics preparation before taking MAT111 should consult the Mathematics Coordinator to determine if they will need to take MAT 102 College Algebra I . 3 credit hours
MAT 115Mathematical Foundations3
Fall/Spring This course develops the mathematical foundations used in real world problems. The topics of this course include: numbers and operations, algebra, geometry and measurement. Students will be able to apply the conceptual knowledge to develop, implement, assess and modify curriculum and lessons as evidenced by their ability to teach students. 3 credit hours
Fall/Spring This is a one-semester course designed for Business, Biology, and other majors needing an applied calculus course. Included topics are calculating derivatives, maximum-minimum problems, curve sketching, calculating integrals and determining area under curves–and applications. The course uses applications from the business sector, and from life sciences and the social sciences. A recent and solid algebra background is essential for success in this course.
Fall/Spring Both a theoretical and an applied approach are emphasized in this in-depth study of introductory calculus. The topics of the course include a review of algebra and trigonometry, limits, differentiation, and applications of the derivative. A strong background in algebra and trigonometry is necessary for this course, and placement into it is determined by the mathematics placement test.
MAT 105 with a grade of 2.0 or higher, or equivalent. Students who have taken BEH 260 or QBA 260 are not permitted to take this course. 3 credit hours
MAT 255Intro to Data Science3
Spring In this course, students will learn to import, clean, transform, and visualize data from a wide range of sources using the R statistical programming language. They will apply these skills to analyze real-world data sets and address a research question of their choice. 3 credit hours
MAT 235 with a grade of 2.0 or higher. 3 credit hours
MAT 340Introduction to Geometry3
An introduction to Euclidean geometry with some topics in non-Euclidean geometry. (Note: This course is not appropriate for Secondary Education-Mathematics or Mathematics majors.) 3 credit hours
Fall Even-Numbered Years A rigorous survey of Euclidean geometry, recent additions to Euclidean geometry, non-Euclidean geometries, and additional topics. The historical development of geometry and related mathematics, from the Ancient Greeks to present day, will be interwoven in the course. Sketching software will be employed. Knowledge of Euclidean geometry is required for this course. 3 credit hours
MAT 172 and MAT 235 with a grade of 2.0 or higher. 3 credit hours
MAT 490Mathematics Internship3
This off-campus internship is designed to give the students an opportunity to make use of the practical aspects of their classroom knowledge, thus developing their confidence and understanding through experience. The corporate supervisor and the faculty supervisor will evaluate student’s performance.
Junior standing including MAT 171 , MAT 172 , MAT 271 , and MAT 272 , each with a grade of 2.0 or higher as well as department approval of each participant’s individual program. Students are required to spend a minimum of 120 hours work on site. Students must have earned 60 or more credits and a minimum of 2.5 cumulative grade point average at the time of application. 3 credit hours
MAT 496Independent Study in Mathematics3
The course is designed to allow the student to pursue an area of interest in the field of mathematics. This course is limited to juniors and seniors who have previously demonstrated a high degree of proficiency in mathematics.
