Course Description

  
MTH 2350 Probability & Statistics 4 s.h.
Prerequisite: MTH 1040.

This course presents the student with basic concepts of probability and statistics such as measures of central tendency and deviation, sampling and sampling distribution, random variables, frequency distribution, statistical inference, hypothesis testing and applications. The purpose of this course is to help individuals make decisions based on analysis of data. Use of the graphing calculator is an integral part of the course.
 

MTH 2510 Calculus with Analytic Geometry I 5 s.h.

Prerequisite: MTH 1210 or departmental approval. Computer Science majors must complete this course with a grade of C or better within the first 20 hours of their major.

A study of the concepts of the calculus including limits of functions, special limits, and continuity; the derivative; and indefinite and definite integration. Included will be applications of these concepts with an emphasis on problem solving with the use of the graphing calculator.
 

MTH 2520 Calculus with Analytic Geometry II 5, 4 s.h.
Prerequisite: MTH 2510. Computer Science majors must complete this course with a grade of C or better within the first 20 hours of their major.

A study of the concepts of the calculus including area and volume applications of the definite integral; various techniques of integration; the calculus of the exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions and hyperbolic functions; the use of the polar coordinate system; and indeterminate forms and improper integrals. Use of the graphics calculator will be integrated throughout the course.
 

MTH 3300 Modern Algebra 3 s.h.
Prerequisite: MTH 2520

Students will explore the ideas, methods, applications, and questions of modern algebra. Students will study the basic properties and theorems related to groups, rings, integral domains and fields; the familiar number systems will serve as models for the abstract systems. Students will also gain experience in abstract reasoning: making and testing conjectures and proving theorems.
  

MTH 3410 Linear Algebra 3 s.h.
Prerequisite: MTH 2520

In this course students will use multiple representations of linearity, solve systems of linear equations, organize data using matrices, perform matrix operations, use determinants, study algebraic and geometric structures of vector spaces, recognize subspaces and spanning sets, find eigenvectors and eigenvalues, use technology to explore ideas, develop logical proofs, and apply concepts to real-life situations.
 

MTH 3510 Calculus with Analytic Geometry III 4 s.h.
Prerequisite: MTH 2520.

A study of the concepts of the calculus applied to sequences and series, and special series; vectors and analytical geometry in two and three dimensions including vector valued functions; partial differentiation and its applications; and multiple integration.
  

MTH 4510 Introduction to Real Analysis 3 s.h.
Prerequisite: MTH 2520.

In this course students will develop a working knowledge of logic and the standard methods of mathematical proof, use set theory concepts and notation, master the notion of relation especially equivalencies relation, understand the basic properties of functions and operations of functions, and study the properties of the real number system.
 

MTH 4650 Foundations of College Geometry 3 s.h.
Prerequisite: MTH 2520.

In this course students will broaden their understanding of Euclideon geometry; study finite geometries, geometric transformations and non-Euclideon geometries; write geometric proofs; apply geometric concepts to real-world situations; and explore geometric concepts and relationships using interactive software.
  

MTH 4950 Senior Seminar 2 s.h.

A course designed to help student develop oral and written communication within the context of their major. An essential component of the course is the preparation and presentation of research paper. Taken by mathematics students with senior status as a requirement for graduation; to be taken in the final six hours of the program.
  

CSC 2010 Internet Applications and Systems 3 s.h.

This course is designed for students who already have an adequate knowledge of computers, and basic applications such as word processing, spreadsheets, and databases. Concepts covered will include: advanced features of the Windows Operating System, the Unix Operating System, and a comprehensive introduction to HTML and web page design including the use of commercial web authoring software. This course can be taken to satisfy the Goal 4 Computer Literacy General Education requirement.
 

CSC 2080 Computer Science I 3 s.h.
Prerequisites: CSC 2010 (can be taken concurrently) or consent of instructor.

Designed to be the first computer science course taken by students in mathematics and science, as well as by those wishing to concentrate in computer science. Topics include fundamentals of computation and algorithmic problem solving, data types, procedures, control structures, arrays, and applications. The course utilizes the C/C++ high-level programming language.
