This course is designed to enhance the students quantitative reasoning skills. The course introduces the student to mathematical modeling and to elements of discrete mathematics including graphs and networks. Linear, quadratic and exponential models are included. Related statistical topics such as linear regression, probability, and counting techniques are also covered. Real-world applications are covered whenever possible.
Technology is included throughout as a tool to solve problems and investigate solutions.
Other appropriate topics may be added as time permits. Calculus III Topics covered in this course include three- dimensional analytic geometry, vectors, calculus of functions of several variables, partial differentiation and multiple integration. This course is designed to introduce the student to techniques used to solve ordinary differential equations. In addition, the instructor may choose the topic of numerical methods or the topics of solutions around singular points, Bessel and Legendre equations.
