Statistics is a research based course that introduces students to theoretical and experimental probability, conditional probability, data analysis, random variables and functions, discrete and continuous distributions sampling, estimation and decision making. Students completing ASMS AP Statistics are prepared to take the Advanced Placement Statistics examination. Calculus Linear Algebra is a challenging course for students who are familiar with vectors and matrices. Calculus Number Theory is a course designed to meet the needs of advanced students who are interested in a pure mathematics course. Number Theory topics include but are not limited to Chinese Remainder Theorem in the context of solving systems of equations, Diophantine equations in context, Definition of Analytical Number Theory verses Elementary Number Theory and the Prime number theorem in both the elementary and analytical contexts.
Students often have their first true experience with proof.
Number Theory is offered pending faculty availability and student interest. Calculus Abstract Algebra is designed to be an introduction to higher mathematics. Abstract Algebra deals more with proof writing than computation. Students are expected to prove theorems. The focus of Abstract Algebra is mathematical theory.
