Equations of lines and planes in 3-space, vectors, vector spaces, systems of linear equations, matrices and determinants are among the topics covered. Vectors and the multidimensional calculus are the primary topics. A general interdepartmental seminar. This course focuses on the development of the real number system and its sub-systems, probability, statistics, motions in geometry, algebra and geometry, and an introduction to computers. Ordinary linear equations with applications is the primary focus.
Some consideration is given to existence and uniqueness theorems.
An introduction of groups, rings and fields with particular emphasis on proofs. Selected topics in mathematics not available in any of the courses taught in the department. Topics include algebraic systems, equations and inequalities, elementary number theory, and abstract algebra. This course is a combination of the study of geometry and the history of mathematics. The unite on geometry will include the roles and nature of geometry, exploration in elementary geometry, patterns in geometry, polyhedra, motions in geometry, similarity-magnification, and measurement.
