29 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.

This course includes the study of antiderivatives and the indefinite integral, Reimann sums and the definite integral, integration techniques, applications of integration including area and volume problems, solving differential equations using separation of variables and integrating factor, and Taylor’s Theorem and series convergence.
MATH 205Applied Statistics
CR: 3 An introduction to data analysis and statistics. Descriptive statistics, random variables and their distributions, independence, sampling distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing and linear regression. Applications in science, social sciences and economics. This course counts for the CORE 170 requirement.
Not open to first-year students. A course for prospective elementary teachers covering the methods of instruction of mathematics and emphasizing a hands-on approach. Topics include number systems, elementary number theory, ratio, proportion, and percent.
Not open to first-year students. A course for prospective elementary teachers covering the methods of instruction of mathematics and emphasizing a hands-on approach. Topics include mathematical reasoning, geometry, and probability and statistics.
MATH 124. This course introduces students to advanced, higher mathematics. Students will learn how to read and understand mathematical statements, and how to prove or disprove them with precision and rigor. Topics include set theory, logic, standard proof techniques such as proof by contradiction, proof by contraposition, mathematical induction. The course is intended for students majoring in mathematics or those who wish to sharpen their analytical and critical-thinking skills. III.W
MATH 218Discrete Mathematics
CR: 3 While continuous mathematics is the language of calculus and requires the use of real numbers, discrete mathematics is the language of formal logic, graph theory, and computer science, and it can be characterized by the use of integers. This course is an introduction to the tools and methods used in discrete mathematics. Topics include sets, logic, recursion and mathematical induction, trees, graphs, methods of proof, counting and probability, and relations and digraphs, with applications to computer science.
MATH 124 Topics in analytic geometry in two- and three-dimensional euclidean space, functions of several variables, partial differentiation, gradients, and multiple integration.
MATH 124 A study of linear systems, matrices and matrix algebra, determinants, vector spaces, and linear transformations; includes applications to Euclidean n-dimensional spaces as well as theory of abstract vector spaces.
One MATH course and permission of the instructor. The study of introductory level material by an individual student or by a small group of students under the immediate supervision of a faculty member.
MATH 124 Permutations and combinations, discrete and continuous distributions of several random variables, independence, and conditional probability, expectation, variance, the Central Limit Theorem. Offered alternate years. MATH 223 - Calculus III is recommended prior to taking this course but is not required.
MATH 232 - Linear Algebra Topics in numerical analysis including floating point numbers, algorithms, error bounds, polynomial interpolation, root finding, numerical differentiation, numerical integration, systems of equations, and eigenvalue computation. This course will involve coding in Python, but no prior programming experience is needed.
MATH 124 . Topics in Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry, particularly geometry on a sphere. Students in this course deepen their understanding of geometry and the nature of geometric proof through discussion, discovery, and writing. Offered alternate years. III.O, III.W
MATH 217 . A rigorous study of sequences and series of real numbers and functions, developed from the axioms of the real number system and elementary point set theory. III.W
MATH 232 . Topics include separation of variables, first and second order linear equations, numerical methods, Laplace transforms, and systems of equations. Applications to the physical and biological sciences are emphasized.
MATH 223 . Algebra of complex numbers, analytic functions, Cauchy-Riemann equations, Cauchy’s theorem, Taylor and Laurent expansions, calculus of residues. Offered alternate years.
100-level MATH course and permission of the instructor. The study of an intermediate level topic by an individual student or by a small group of students under the immediate supervision of a faculty member.
CSCI 125 or ENGR 125 ; and MATH 123 and MATH 205 . This course introduces intermediate statistical methods. Topics will be chosen from x 2 test for independence; tests for correlations; non-parametric tests, including Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon, and Sign tests; multiple regression; logistic regression; ANOVA; and basic cluster analysis.
CR: 0 300-level MATH course that satisfies major requirement Students will hone their oral communication skills through presentation(s) of mathematical topics from related courses. Students learn and utilize Beamer for their presentation formatting. III.O
one 100-level MATH course, one 200-level MATH course, and permission of the instructor. Pursuit of an upper-level research project determined in advance by the student in consultation with a faculty member who will act as the sponsor.
MATH 470Advanced Honors
CR: 3 Upper-level research or creative project determined in advance by the student in consultation with two faculty members who will serve as primary and secondary project sponsors. The course is required for the Honors Degree, and serves as the capstone experience for Honors students who do not pursue a senior Honors thesis project. This course is typically taken in the student’s junior or senior year.
CR: 3 During this course, a senior is expected to refine and submit their thesis proposal under the supervision of a thesis advisor. The senior will submit their thesis proposal to the Student Advancement Committee by the deadline determined by the Honors Program. Pending approval by the Student Advancement Committee, the student will spend the remainder of the semester beginning the research described in their proposal. If a student does not submit an acceptable thesis proposal as determined by the Student Advancement Committee, they will not be allowed to continue in the pursuit of the Honors Degree/Program Honors. This course will carry the rubric of the student’s major in which the thesis is based.
CR: 3 In this course, the student is expected to continue the research proposed and approved by the Student Advancement Committee in the 471 Proposal/Research course. This work is completed under the supervision of faculty advisors, culminating in the student defending their thesis before a committee.
