The computer-laboratory component of Calculus II Earth Systems Applications. Applies these topics to real life and branches of science, particularly computer science. MATH 151 with C or better. Introduces matrices and systems of linear equations and covers topics such as determinants, vectors in two and three dimensions, vector spaces, linear transformations, and eigenvector eigenvalue decompositions. Emphasizes applications to real-world issues.
Students use computing technology for the course.
MATH 130 or equivalent, with a C or better. This course develops student understanding of the power of mathematical abstraction and symbolism through the study of advanced algebraic structures. Matrices, groups, integral domains, rings, and fields are studied and their relationship to the pre-college algebra curriculum is discussed. The course emphasizes problem solving and requires students to use a variety of algebraic representations and techniques to model and analyze problem situations and solutions. This course introduces Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries as vehicles for studying axiomatic systems, for representing real world phenomena, and for visualizing mathematical ideas.
