Students select and use problem solving techniques, identify and use related knowledge, monitor and evaluate their own skills in solving problems, solve problems in cooperative learning situations, and find appropriate solutions to a variety of problems. MATH 1111 Students solve application problems, construct mathematical models, apply inductive and deductive reasoning, develop valid mathematical arguments, test the validity of arguments, verify conjectures and formulate counterexamples. Students explore the basic concepts of descriptive and inferential statistics and learn to apply the concept of hypothesis testing to analyze the truth of claims. MATH 1154 Students use integration techniques to evaluate definite and indefinite integrals. Differential and integral calculus are applied to logarithmic and exponential functions.
Students explore the properties of sequences and series, conic sections, and vectors.
The concepts of limit, derivative, and integral are applied to vector-valued functions and functions of several variables. Students apply vector calculus in solving problems in physics. Students become knowledgeable of matrices and determinants, vector spaces, and linear operators. MATH 1113 Students study mathematical reasoning and learn different methods for solving problems. Problems dealing with combinations, algorithms and graphs are explored.
