In addition to the Individual and Community curriculum, a minimum of 44 credits in the major must be completed successfully with a gradepoint average of at least 2.00. Transfer students should refer to residency requirement section of catalog. Elective Mathematics Curriculum IC201 Foundations of Mathematics 3 credits The major goal of the course is to promote critical thinking by aiding the student to state problems clearly, to sort out the relevant from the irrelevant, to abstract common properties from individual situations, and to argue coherently. Students are exposed to good reasoning processes through an introduction to mathematical concepts. The precalculus or function approach is used throughout.
Emphasis is placed on the understanding of mathematical concepts.
MT211 Discrete Mathematics 3 credits This course provides an introduction to the mathematics of computing. Concrete topics include number systems, sets, functions, and relations. An exposure to abstract thinking is gained through the study of logic and proofs. MT212 Discrete Structures 3 credits This course includes both concrete topics such as combinatorics and Boolean Algebra as well as the abstract topic of graph theory. Students are required to do proofs using induction.
