CLASSES OFFERED
MAT 099— Developmental Mathematics, 3 hours institutional credit
This is a one-semester developmental course which includes a study of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percents, ratio and proportion, units of measure, geometry, basic statistics, and an introduction to algebra. Fall.
MAT 100 — Elementary Algebra, 3 hours institutional credit
This is a one-semester developmental course designed especially for those students with less than one year of high school algebra. This course consists of the traditional topics in a beginning algebra course. Students may use this course as a preparatory course for entrance into Mathematics 111. This course is not open to students with one or more years of high school algebra and does not meet the mathematics requirement for graduation. Fall.
MAT 111, 112 — Introductory College Mathematics, 3 hours credit each
This is a two-semester course which includes the study of many of the topics in intermediate algebra. The first semester includes a study of properties of real numbers, sets, exponents and roots, linear equations and inequalities, the Cartesian Coordinate System, system of linear equations, polynomial functions, graphing, Cramer’s Rule, and factoring. The second semester includes the study of rational expressions and equations, complex numbers, Quadratic equations and inequalities, the conic sections, exponents and logarithms, arithmetic and geometric sequences. Emphasis is placed on problem-solving skills necessary for entrance into college algebra. Prerequisite: One year of high school algebra and one year of geometry or satisfactory completion of MAT 100.
MAT 101 or permission of the faculty is a prerequisite for MAT 102. Fall and Spring.
MAT 131 — College Algebra 3 hours credit
This course includes the study of functions and their graphs, linear equations and inequalities, linear curve fitting, mathematical modeling applied to functions, polynomial and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, and arithmetic and geometric sequences. The graphing calculator is required and is used extensively in this course. Prerequisite: Two years of high school algebra and one year of geometry, or satisfactory completion of Math 102. Fall and Spring.
MAT 141 — Algebra and Trigonometry (Pre-calculus), 5 hours credit
This is an integrated course in college algebra and trigonometry designed to provide an adequate background for an intensive study of analytic geometry and calculus. Topics include the system of real numbers; algebraic, exponential logarithmic, and trigonometric functions; complex numbers; theory of equations, sequences, matrices, and determinants; and other selected topics. The use of a graphing calculator is required in this course. Prerequisites: Two years of high school algebra and one year of geometry or the satisfactory completion of Math 131. Fall
MAT 142, 241, 242 — Analytic Geometry and Calculus, 5 hours credit each
This is a three-semester sequence of integrated analytic geometry and differential and integral calculus. Topics covered in the first semester include basic concepts and the limit, the derivative and its applications, the conic sections, and the integral. The second semester will include exponential, logarithmic, inverse trigonometric, and hyperbolic functions, techniques of integration, L’Hospital’s Rule, improper integrals, Taylor’s formula, sequences,. and infinite series. The third semester will include partial derivatives, multiple integration, line integrals, polar coordinates, vectors, and analytic geometry of three-dimensional space. Prerequisites: MAT 141 or consent of the instructor. MAT 142 Spring, MAT 241 Fall, MAT 242 Spring.
MAT 211 — Math Concepts, 3 hours credit
This is a liberal arts math course. Topics include fundamentals of problem solving, sets, symbolic logic, introductory probability and statistics, the number systems, informal geometry, linear and quadratic equations, the metric system, graphing techniques, and consumer mathematics. Basic graphing calculator functions are considered.
Prerequisite: MAT 102. Fall.
MAT 213 — Mathematics for Management and Social Science, 3 hours credit
This course applies mathematical skills and concepts to areas that are relevant to management and social sciences. Topics include curve fitting, mathematical modeling, linear programming, matrices, exponential and logarithmic functions, mathematics of finance, and an intuitive approach to the derivative and its applications. The use of a graphing calculator is required in this course. Prerequisite: MAT 131. Spring.
MAT 251 — Statistics, 3 hours credit
This course includes descriptive statistics, probability, and statistical inference with mean, standard deviation, variances, ANOVA, regression and correlation analysis, chi-square, T-test, and nonparametrics. Prerequisite:MAT 131 and SYS 120. Fall
