MATH 1802
Intermediate Calculus
A continuation of the study of the calculus of functions of a single variable. Topics may include more advanced techniques of integration, infinite sequences and series, power series (including Taylor and Maclaurin series), parametric equations and polar coordinates. Prerequisite: MATH 1801.
MATH 2535
History of Mathematics
A historical integration of mathematical ideas, content, settings and biography, with particular attention to values of invention, creativity, and application, as well as the influence of classical mathematics on recent developments. Prerequisite: MATH 1801 or MATH 1701.
MATH 1400
Introduction to Programming
Same as CIS 1400. A study of basic skills for computer programming. Students will utilize the programming process to design and create original artifacts using basic programming elements. An introduction to data, objects, and issues of privacy and ethics is included.
MATH 2801
Multivariable Calculus
A study of the calculus of functions of two or more more variables and of vector-valued functions. Topics may include techniques and applications of differentiation, techniques and applications of iterated integrals, line integrals and surface integrals, Green's Theorem, Stoke's Theorem and the Divergence Theorem. Prerequisite: MATH 1802.
MATH 2900
Intro to Mathematical Proofs
An introduction to reading and writing mathematical proofs. Proof techniques and methods will be applied in areas that may include logic, sets, relations, functions, continuity, convergence, and countability arguments. Prerequisite: MATH 1701 or MATH 1801.
MATH 3501
Linear Algebra
A study of the theory and applications of vector spaces, linear transformations, and matrices. Prerequisite: MATH 1701 or MATH 1801.
MATH 3533
Abstract Algebra
A study of basic algebraic structures, including groups, rings and fields. Prerequisites: MATH 2900 and MATH 3501.
MATH 3541
Advanced Calculus
Rigorous treatment of real numbers, elements of set theory, sequences, limits, continuity, differentiation, and integration. Prerequisites: MATH 1802 and MATH 2900.
MATH 4400
Capstone Experience
Same as CIS 4400. A capstone experience for advanced mathematics, mathematical finance or computer science majors to integrate content learned in courses spanning the major, including analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of learned knowledge, in a project having a professional focus and effective communication of the results of the study. Course requirements also include a satisfactory score on a major field achievement test. Prerequisite: Junior or Senior Mathematics, Mathematical Finance or Computer Science Major.
