Students will use at least one computer-based statistical package. The second course in a three-course sequence in mathematics recommended by the Committee on the Undergraduate Mathematics Program of the Mathematical Association of America for prospective primary and elementary teachers. Emphasis is upon the properties of operations in several different algebraic systems. Equations are studied in finite systems as well as in conventional algebra. The third course in a three-course sequence in mathematics recommended by the Committee on the Undergraduate Mathematics Program of the Mathematical Association of America for prospective primary and elementary teachers.
Emphasis is upon constructions, congruence, parallelism, and similarity.
Direct and indirect methods of proof are studied, but the main approach is intuitive. Calculus C Multivariate calculus and vector calculus. MAT 260 Technological Tools for the Mathematical Sciences MAT 260 is designed for students in mathematics and disciplines which utilize mathematics. Particular topics might include summary measures, calculation of probabilities associated with various discrete and continuous distributions, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, regression, and various non-parametric methods. Some of these methods will be used to analyze real data collected during previous faculty consulting projects.
