Courses
An introductory level algebra course intended primarily for those with weak or no skills or those who have been away from the subject for some time. This course provides the algebra background required for all entry level courses in mathematics. Completion of MTH 100 provides three administrative credits. Administrative credits cannot be applied towards credits required for graduation.

An overview of basic mathematical concepts and methods for quantitative reasoning. Topics include: numeracy, mathematical modeling, recognizing trends, graphing, and interpreting descriptive statistical summaries. It is recommended for Sociology, Criminal Justice, Nursing, Political Science, English and other languages, Visual Design, or other Liberal Arts and Fine Arts majors whose degree program does not require any other courses in mathematics. This course fulfills the general education requirements for Liberal Arts and Fine Arts majors who matriculated prior to Fall 2012 and has been approved by University Studies Curriculum for students matriculating in Fall 2012 or later.
An introduction to statistics and probability. Topics include: measures of central tendency and dispersion, elementary probability, binomial, normal, and t-distributions, hypothesis testing and confidence intervals, and a survey of correlation and regression analysis. It is recommended for Psychology, Sociology, Nursing, or other Liberal Arts and Fine Arts majors whose degree program does not require any other courses in mathematics. The course fulfills the general education requirements for sociology, psychology, nursing, education, and other related majors who matriculated prior to Fall 2012 and has been approved by University Studies Curriculum for students matriculating in Fall 2012 or later.
An introduction to the main concepts and techniques of college algebra. Topics include: linear, quadratic, exponential and logarithmic functions, as well as modeling of data using functions. This is the first semester of the college math sequence designed for students interested in Biology and Life Sciences. This course fulfills the general education core requirements for Biology and Life Sciences majors who matriculated prior to Fall 2012 and has been approved by University Studies Curriculum for students matriculating in Fall 2012 or later.

An intensive study of advanced algebra and trigonometry. Topics include: linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions, modeling and graphing these functions, and the effects of affine transformations on the graphs of functions. This course prepares students for the study of Calculus I (MTH 151 or MTH 153), which is required for majors in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering and Mathematical/Computational Biology. This course fulfills the general Calculus I prerequisites for Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering and Mathematical/Computational Biology majors who matriculated prior to Fall 2012 and has been approved by University Studies Curriculum for students matriculating in Fall 2012 or later.
An intensive study of the techniques and applications of integration and infinite series. Topics include: techniques of integration and its application, improper integrals, infinite series (including convergence tests, the interval of convergence for power series, and Taylor series), and parametric equations and polar coordinates. This is the second semester of the standard calculus sequence designed for students interested in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering and Mathematical/Computational Biology. This course fulfills the general education core requirements for Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering and Mathematical/Computational Biology majors who matriculated prior to Fall 2012 and has been approved by University Studies Curriculum for students matriculating in Fall 2012 or later.
