MATH 099Intro to Algebra
This course is intended for students lacking a foundation for study of college-level mathematics. Development of skills and concepts in math are addressed through: operations with real numbers, including hierarchy of operations; the notion of equivalent expressions; exponents, roots, and radicals; polynomial arithmetic, with an emphasis on factoring; solving algebraic equations and inequalities; formula manipulation; and applications of these concepts/topics. Use of calculators is prohibited in this course. Students who score 18 or lower on the Mathematics sub-score of the ACT or have an SAT Math score below 510 MUST enroll in Math 099. This course requires 2 hours of laboratory each week. *3 cr hrs toward academic load, but not counted toward the required minimum credits for graduation. This course is a prerequisite for students not meeting admission standards into MATH 105. Fall/Spring. Credits 3
This course is designed to be a logical foundation for both the classical instance of algebra in MATH 115 College Algebra and the alternative general education course, MATH 110 Reasoning and Problem Solving. Emphasis is on the logical and computational elements: operators, operands, expressions. Exercises address interpretation and use of math language and notation, algebra of sets, algebra of numbers, and processes utilized in solving linear and quadratic equations and inequalities. Scientific calculators are permitted in this course, but graphing calculators are not. Prerequisite: Math ACT of 19 or higher, or Math SAT 510 or higher, or a grade of C- or higher in MATH-099. Fall/Spring. Credits 3
The mathematical reasoning involved in problem solving is explored through various mathematical concepts: coordinate geometry; functions and function notation; properties and applications of linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic fuctions; elementary couting principles, basic probability; and descriptive statistics. Topics from systems of linear equations in included as time permits. Scientific calculators are required in this course; graphing calculators are permitted, but not required. A student receiving credit for MATH 110 cannot receive credit for MATH 115.

A course designed to give the student sufficient background in mathematical methods required for completion of the analytical, physical, and inorganic chemistry sequences. Course discussion will include review of transcendental functions, differential and integral calculus, numerical methods, linear algebra, differential equations and functions of several variables. (This course also may be taken as CHEM 310). Prerequisite: MATH 250 (or equivalent) with a grade of C- or better. Highly recommended: MATH 255. May not be taken to fulfill requirements for the Math major or minor. Spring as needed. Credits 3
Topics include: elementary combinatorics; sequences, recursion, and iteration; and graph theory. Other topics from discrete mathematics may be included at the instructor's discretion. Prerequisite: Successful completion of MATH 255 with a grade of C- or better or permission of the instructor. As needed. Credits 3 460 LMU Undergraduate Catalog
Ordinary Differential Equations with emphasis on the theory of linear differential equations. Some existence and uniqueness theorems proved, and special methods or types of equations with applications treated as time allows. Prerequisite: Successful completion of MATH 250 (or equivalent) with a grade of C- or better. Fall, as needed. Credits 3
This is the Junior-level Sequential Enhancement of Writing Skills (SEWS) requirement for the undergraduate degree in mathematics. It is designed to give the student sufficient background in writing and information literacy to satisfy the university’s SEWS requirement at the junior level. Specifically, the project is an introduction to the conventions of reading, writing, and research within the mathematics discipline. Research-based writing using correct formatting and documentation is emphasized. Writing intensive. Requires a college-level research paper of significant length, which must involve use of scholarly literature. This is offered independent of any MATH prefixed course. Pre-requisite: Successful completion of Sophomore-level SEWS requirement through the Department of Language and Literature. Graded Pass/Fail. As needed. Credits 0
A second course in linear algebra. Topics include Real vector spaces, subspaces, linear independence, coordinates and basis, dimension, change of basis, row space, column space, null space, rank, nullity, matrix transformations and properties, diagonalization, linear transformations, similarity, and matrix decomposition. Pre-requisite: Successful completion of MATH 300 and MATH 260 with a grade of C- or better. As needed. Credits 3
