Differential Equation Models for Understanding Phenomena beyond Experimental Capabilities For an in-depth look at some of our upper division and graduate level courses offered in previous semesters, see the links below. Concepts and methods of statistics; display and summary of data, interval estimation, hypothesis testing, correlation, regression. Applications to biological sciences. Enroll requirements: Prerequisites: MAT 117 or 142 with C or better or completed the ALEKS Math Placement Test with a score of 50% or higher Practice Exams:Basic concepts and methods of statistics, including descriptive statistics, significance tests, estimation, sampling, and correlation. Not open to majors in mathematics or the physical sciences. Enroll requirements: Pre-requisites: MAT 117 or MAT 142 or other course meeting General Studies MA requirement with C or better or completed the ALEKS Math Placement Test with a score of 50% or higher Examines different conceptions of algebra as the study of (1) generalized arithmetic, (2) reasoning with symbols, (3) reasoning with patterns and functions, (4) structure in the number system, and (5) modeling. Distinguishes arithmetic from algebraic reasoning, and develops an appreciation for the pervasiveness of the function concept in the K-8 school mathematics curriculum. Introduces differential equations, theoretical and practical solution techniques. Applications. Problem solving using MATLAB. Enrollment requirements: Prerequisite(s): MAT 266 or MAT 271 with a C or better; Credit is allowed for only MAT 274 or 275 Vector-valued functions of several variables, multiple integration, and introduction to vector analysis. Enroll requirements: Prerequisite(s): MAT 266 or MAT 271 with C or better; Credit is allowed for only MAT 267 or MAT 272 Example Syllabus (this may not be the syllabus used by your instructor, but gives students an idea of the course content and expectations). Methods of integration; applies calculus, elements of analytic geometry, improper integrals, sequences, and series. Not open to students with credit in MAT 291. The sequence MAT 270, 271, 272 may be substituted to satisfy requirements for MAT 290 and 291. Enroll requirements: Prerequisite(s): MAT 265 or 270 with C or better; Credit is allowed for only MAT 266 or MAT 271 Real numbers, limits and continuity, and differential and integral calculus of functions of 1 variable. Enroll requirements: Prerequisite(s): MAT 170 or 171 with C or better OR Mathematics Placement Test with a score of 60% or higher and Advanced Math Placement Test with a score of 38 or higher OR ALEKS score of 76 or higher; Credit is allowed for only MAT 265 or MAT 270 Vector-valued functions of several variables, partial derivatives, multiple integration. Not open to students with credit in MAT 272. Enroll requirements: Prerequisite(s): MAT 266 or 271 with C or better; Credit is allowed for only MAT 267 or 272 Practice Exams from Previous Semesters (These do not reflect the format of the current semester's tests, however, could reflect the content of any test): |
