Students in the Mathematics Program will develop their analytical skills and learn how to work in a problem-solving environment. Advanced modeling, theory and methods make up the foundation of a mathematics degree and allow students to enter the work force or continue their education.

MAT 121 – Calculus I
Topics will include the Cartesian plane and functions of one variable, limits and their properties, differentiation, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, integration and applications of differentiation and integration.

MAT 221 Multivariable Calculus
Topics will include plane curves, parametric equations, polar representations, vectors and the geometry of space and vector calculus. (offered every Fall of even years)

MAT 225 Geometry for Elementary and Middle School Teachers
Introduction, proofs and congruent triangles, parallels and polygons, similar and regular polygons, right triangles, circles, areas, coordinate geometry, space geometry and introduction to non-Euclidean geometries. Applications of theorems and proof writing.

MAT 304 Number Theory
Divisibility, primes, congruences, Diophantine equations, arithmetic functions, Fibonacci numbers.

MAT 323 Probability and Statistics
Topics will include collection of data (random sampling, experimental design) organization and description of data (tables and graphs, univariate and bivariate statistics), probability (general probability, random variables, standard distributions), statistical inference (tests of significance, point estimation methods, confidence intervals, inference in simple linear regression). Course is calculus based.
