MTH/BUS 106 FINANCE MATHEMATICS 3 CR
This course reviews
basic mathematics and then moves on to introduce key business topics such as
payroll, bank services, business discounts and mark-ups, consumer loans, taxes
and insurance, and financial statements.
Students will learn the basic mathematical applications of percentages
and simple and compound interest, use of a financial calculator and time value
of money, present and future value. (Fall, Spring)
MTH 111 Pre-Algebra 3 cr
Properties of integers,
fundamental algebraic operations, exponents, linear equations and inequalities
are covered in this course. This course
is designed for those students with a sound grasp of arithmetic but little or
no previous algebra experience. (Fall,
Spring)
MTH 112 Intermediate Algebra 4 cr
This course bridges the
gap between Prealgebra and College Algebra.
Topics covered will include real numbers, linear equations, graphing
linear equations and inequations, systems of equations, polynomials, rational
expressions and equations, and quadratic equations. (Fall, Spring)
MTH

Introduction to descriptive and inferential statistics as applied to social science situations. Includes tabular, graphical, and numerical summary measures; probability distributions; sampling and sampling distributions; hypothesis testing; analysis of variance; and regression/correlation analysis.
MTH
230 CALCULUS
I 5 CR
This course will be an introduction to differential calculus with emphasis
on applications in other disciplines. We will begin with a review of coordinate
geometry, linear and quadratic functions. This includes: a review of power,
exponential, and logarithmic functions with application to mathematical models.
Initial applications of the derivative will include linear approximation and
marginal analysis. More advanced differential techniques will include the chain
rule, implicit differentiation and derivatives of logarithmic and exponential
functions. The course will conclude with further applications of the
derivatives in graphical analysis, curve sketching, and general optimization
considerations. (Fall)
MTH 231 CALCULUS AND ANALYTICAL
GEOMETRY 5 CR
This
course will be an introduction to differential calculus and plane analytical
geometry. We will begin with a review of advanced algebraic topics including:
function notation, composition of functions, exponential and inverse functions,
and parametric expressions. The concept of limits will lead to the basic
definition of the derivative with emphasis on problem solving. The fundamental
differentiation rules will be explored including: polynominal, exponential,
trigonometric, and logarithmic functions. The product, chain and quotient rules
will be discussed as well as implicit differentiation. Applications of
differentiation will cover maximum and minimum values, curve fitting, as well as
other optimization problems. (Spring)
MTH 250 Selected Studies 1-4 cr
Topics will reflect
particular competencies of the faculty, and will consider the needs and
requests of the student. (Fall, Spring)
