This is the first of a two-course sequence that provides students with the structural mathematical concepts needed for quantitative reasoning and analysis. Emphasis is placed on problem formulation, problem-solving, graphing and graphical analysis, and using algebraic laws to support mathematical reasoning and analysis. In this course students are taught the concepts necessary for statistical analysis and inference. Topics include descriptive statistics, classical probability, probability distributions, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing, chi-square analysis, simple linear regression and correlation. This course focuses on selected topics in mathematics and will vary from year to year according to student interest and faculty availability.
Honors courses provide the opportunity for exceptional achievement.
Instructors use methods and introduce concepts that will challenge the highly motivated student. Often interdisciplinary in approach and sometimes team taught, honors courses typically offer students occasions to extend their learning beyond the classroom. A continuation of MATH 201, this course provides students further concepts necessary for statistical analysis and inference. Appropriate theoretical concepts will be presented before students attempt computer applications. This course focuses on selected topics in mathematics and will vary from year to year according to student interest and faculty availability.
