28 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 096BASIC MATHEMATICS Three hours credit
An introduction to basic arithmetic with a primary emphasis on sets and set operations, fractions, percent, decimals, graphs, basic equations, ratio and proportion, and basic metrics. This course will not meet any university mathematics requirements but will serve the pur- pose of preparing students for MAT 121. Offered every semester.
This mathematics course is a beginning course in algebra for students who have not had algebra in high school. The course includes a review of general arithmetic, the real number system, the fundamentals of algebra, linear equations, graphing, exponents and radicals, fac- toring, functions, systems of linear equations, rational expressions and equations, and qua- dratic equations. The applications of these concepts to real-life situations will be examined throughout the course. The course will count as an elective in terms of credit hours (3 semester hours), but it will not satisfy the general requirement of three hours of Mathematics for graduation.
A preparatory algebra course designed for students who have had only one year of algebra in high school or those who need a review in algebra before enrolling in Math 111. The course includes basic algebraic principles and techniques as applied to number systems, poly- nomials, factoring, and systems of equations and graphs. The applications of these concepts
MAT 101CONTEMPORARY MATHEMATICS Three hours credit

An introductory course in discrete mathematics stressing problem-solving techniques using an algorithm approach. Connections with computer science will be analyzed. The course will include hash functions, algorithms, recursive algorithms, and analysis of these algorithms. Decision trees, Petri nets, graph theory, and Boolean algebra concepts will also be included. The course is required for students minoring in Computer Science. Offered on demand.
Polar coordinates, transcendental functions, methods of integration, hyperbolic func- tions, vectors, and parametric equations. Prerequisite: MAT 271 with a minimum grade of C. Offered Fall Semester, every year.
The course provides both a mathematical and computational emphasis on the creation, assessment, implementation, and modification of numerical algorithms in science and math- ematics. Prerequisite: MAT 271. Offered on demand.
Axiomatic method, triangles and circles, parallelism, constructions, and modem con- cepts of both Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry. Prerequisite: One year of university mathematics. Offered Spring Semester, odd years.
