Problems dealing with combinations, algorithms and graphs are explored. Students explore the concepts and methods of the calculus of functions of several variables and vector analysis. Students investigate the properties of integers and develop proofs of some of their properties. Functions defined on the integers are explored. Calculators and computers are used in problem solving.
Students generalize arithmetic procedures used for integers to solve abstract problems.
Students enhance their knowledge of mathematics and its applications. Topics covered include number systems, probability, statistics, measurement and geometry. Students explore how these mathematical concepts are applied to understand and solve real world problems. Students are required to use calculators and computers. MATH 2253 Students examine the secondary school mathematics curriculum from an advanced viewpoint to be able to explain the relationships among arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and calculus.
