This course may, at the discretion of the instructor, include a laboratory. May not be counted toward a major nor toward a minor in mathematics. A study of functions, limits, continuity, differentiation and integration of algebraic and transcendental functions with elementary applications. Techniques of integration, parametric equations, infinite series and an introduction to the calculus of several variables. The basic approach in this course will be to present mathematics in a more humanistic manner and hereby provide an environment where students can discover, on their own, the quantitative ideas and mathematical techniques used in decision making in a diversity of disciplines.
Students work with problems obtained from industry and elsewhere.
A study of mathematical reasoning and problem solving, the number system through the rationals, the operations of arithmetic and other mathematical topics relevant to elementary education. Includes an introduction to uses of manipulative devices, field experiences and emphasis on how children learn mathematics. For those intending to teach in elementary school. A study of additional topics underlying elementary school mathematics including informal geometry and probability and statistics. Includes field experiences and emphasis on how children learn mathematics.
