MTH 126 CALCULUS II Prerequisite: Grade of C or higher in MTH 125

MTH 112 PRECALCULUS ALGEBRA Prerequisite: Successful completion of MTH 100 Intermediate College Algebra with a grade of C or higher or appropriate replacement. COREQUISITE: MTH 111 Support for Precalculus Algebra, if required. This course emphasizes the algebra of functions – including polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. In addition, the course covers non-linear inequalities as well as systems of linear and non-linear equations and inequalities. 3 Credit Hours MTH 113 PRECALCULUS TRIGONOMETRY Prerequisite: Grade of C or higher in MTH 112 or appropriate placement scores. This course includes the study of trigonometric (circular) functions and inverse trigonometric functions as well as extensive work with trigonometric identities, equations, and formulas. The course also covers vectors, complex numbers, DeMoivre’s Theorem, and polar graphs. Additional topics may include conic sections and product-sum formulas. 3 Credit Hours MTH 115 PRE-CALCULUS ALGEBRA & TRIG. Prerequisite: As required by the college but may be no less than a C or higher in MTH 100 and permission from the department chairperson. This course is a one-semester accelerated combination of Precalculus Algebra (MTH 112) and Precalculus Trigonometry (MTH 113). This course is intended for students with a strong background in college preparatory mathematics. The course includes the algebra of functions (including polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions) as well as the study of trigonometric functions and inverse trigonometric functions. This course also includes extensive work with trigonometric identities, equations, and formulas; vectors; complex numbers; and polar graphs. 4 Credit Hours

This is the second of three courses in the basic calculus sequence. Topics include applications of integration, techniques of integration, infinite series, polar coordinates, and parametric equations, lines and planes in space, and vectors in the plane and in space. 4 Credit Hours MTH 131 MATHEMATICS IN GENERAL EDUCATION I Prerequisite: As required by the college . This course is designed for general education and for all students in education programs except those who will concentrate on science or mathematics. Emphasis is on the structure of the number system from the integers to the real numbers, logic, numeration systems, prime numbers, basic concepts of algebra, elementary probability and statistics, graphs, informal geometry, and the metric system. This course does not apply toward the general core requirement for mathematics. 4 Credit Hours MTH 132 MATHEMATICS IN GENERAL EDUCATION II Prerequisite(s): MTH 131 or appropriate mathematics placement score. This course is a continuation of MTH 131. This course does not apply toward the general core requirement for mathematics. 3 Credit Hours

MTH 186 MEDICAL DOSAGE CALCULATION Prerequisite(s):MTH 090 or suitable placement score

This course explains mathematical applications to the following dosage calculations: oral dosages, injectable drugs, intravenous fluids, insulin, heparin, pediatric dosages, geriatric dosages, and electrolyte solutions. This course does not apply toward the general core requirement for mathematics. 3 Credit Hours

MTH 227 CALCULUS III Prerequisite: Grade of C or higher in MTH 126

This is the third of three courses in the basic calculus sequence. Topics include vector functions, functions of two or more variables, partial derivatives (including applications), quadric surfaces, multiple integration, and vector calculus (including Green’s Theorem, curl and divergence, surface integrals, and Stokes’ Theorem). 4 Credit Hours MTH 231 MATH FOR THE ELEMENTARY TEACHER I Prerequisite: Grade of C or higher in MTH 100 or appropriate placement score This course is designed to develop a deeper understanding of elementary school mathematics content needed for teaching. The course is designed to develop conceptual understanding of number systems and operations by focusing on basic concepts and principles, exploring multiple representations and strategies, and illuminating connections among concepts and procedures. Topics include whole numbers and integers, fractions, ratio, percent, decimals, and arithmetic operations within these systems. 3 Credit Hours MTH 232 MATH FOR THE ELEMENTARY TEACHER II Prerequisite: Grade of C or higher in MTH 100 or appropriate placement score This course is designed to provide mathematical insights into measurement and geometry for students majoring in elementary education. Topics include geometric shapes (two- and three- dimensional), measurement, congruence and similarity, symmetry, and transformations. 3 Credit Hours MTH 233 MATH FOR THE ELEMENTARY TEACHER III Prerequisite: MTH 232. This course is the third of a three-course sequence and is designed to provide appropriate insights into mathematics for students majoring in elementary education and to ensure that students going into elementary

MTH 116 MATHEMATICAL APPLICATIONS Prerequisite: None

This course provides practical applications of mathematics and includes selected topics from consumer math, algebra, and geometry. The course covers integers, percent, interest, ratio and proportion, measurement systems, linear equations, and problem solving. 3 Credit Hours MTH 120 CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS Prerequisite: Grade of C or higher in MTH 112, 113, or 115 or appropriate placement score. This course is intended to give a broad overview of calculus. It includes limits, differentiation, and integration of algebraic, exponential, logarithmic, and multi-variable functions with applications to business, economics, and other disciplines. This course may also include LaGrange multipliers, extrema of functions of two variables, method of least squares, linear approximation, and linear programming. 3 Credit Hours MTH 125 CALCULUS I Prerequisite: Grade of C or higher in MTH 113 or 115 or appropriate placement score. This is the first of three courses in the basic calculus sequence taken primarily by students in science, engineering, and mathematics. Topics include the limit of a function; the derivative of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions; and the definite integral and its basic applications to area problems. Applications of the derivative are covered in detail, including approximations of error using differentials, maximum and minimum problems, and curve sketching using calculus. 4 Credit Hours
