MATH 210 Discrete Mathematics I (3 semester hours) Prerequisites: MATH 120 or 220

Corequisites: CISC 120

Description: This course provides the computer science student with an understanding of multiple mathematical concepts and methods which shape the foundation of modern information science in a form that is relevant and useful. Discrete mathematics plays a fundamental role for computer science which is similar to that played by calculus for physics and engineering. Many concepts in computer science are best understood from a perspective that requires expertise with mathematical tools and certain reasoning skills associated with mathematical maturity. The topics covered draw on current material from several mathematical disciplines: graph theory, mathematical logic, and set

theory. Offered Semester I (Fall), annually. MATH 220 Calculus I (3 semester hours) Prerequisites: MATH 120

Corequisites: None

Description: This course introduces techniques to evaluate limits and covers continuity, special trigonometric limits, absolute value limits and differentiation of algebraic, trigonometric, and logarithmic functions. The course explores intermediate value theorem, mean value theorem, and extreme value theorem. Other topics for exploration are application and formal definition of derivative average rate of change versus instantaneous rate of change, velocity, and the introduction of the definite integral and its applications. A graphing calculator is required for this course. Offered Semester I (Fall) and Semester II (Spring), annually.

MATH 260 Calculus II (3 semester hours) Prerequisites: MATH 220

Corequisites: None

Description: This course focuses on the exploration of differential calculus, the derivatives of all functions. An emphasis is placed on the rules of differentiation and their proofs. The course analyzes graphs of functions using the concept of derivative and its application and includes an introduction to integral calculus, integration properties, differential equations and notation. Problem solving is learned using elementary integration techniques, elementary trigonometric integration, and hyperbolic functions. A graphing calculator is required for this course. Offered Semester II (Spring) and Semester III (Summer), annually.

MATH 261 Calculus III (3 semester hours) Prerequisites: MATH 260

Corequisites: None

Description: This course develops vector algebra, the calculus of more than one variable; partial derivative; volume; surface and line integrals; the polar, cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems; and the theory of vector fields. It develops the theory of vector calculus and conservative vector

fields which lead to the conservation laws of nature. In addition, the course fully treats the mathematical framework of defining geometry in three dimensions. Offered as needed. MATH 280 Introductory Statistics (3 semester hours)

Prerequisites: MATH 120 Corequisites: None

Description: This course covers elementary topics from the probability and statistics of both discrete and continuous random variables. Topics include independence and dependence, mean, variance and expectation, and distributions of random variables. Statistics is applied to hypothesis testing. This course provides the student with a broad, general knowledge and understanding of statistics. The emphasis of this course is on the utility and practical application of statistics rather than on the mathematical derivation of statistical principles. Offered each semester, annually.

MATH 300 Experiment Design and Analysis (3 semester hours) Prerequisites: MATH 120 or equivalent

Corequisites: None

Description: This course is an introduction to applied design of experiments and the statistical analysis of scientific data. It provides a detailed development of specific parametric and non-

parametric statistical procedures and their application to various experimental designs. This course is well-suited for a student to apply sound data analysis technique to experimental data. Key course objectives are: designing experimental procedures to obtain the desired information, application of the statistical procedures consistent with the design, and to draw meaningful inferences from the results. Offered Semester II (Spring), even-numbered years.

MATH 310 Discrete Mathematics II (3 semester hours) Prerequisites: MATH 210 or 260

Corequisites: None

Description: This course ensures that the computer science student reaches the level of mathematical maturity necessary for the study of Computer and Information Science. Topics covered draw on current material from the study of graphs, trees, relations, algorithms and models of computation. Offered Semester II (Spring), annually.

MATH 380 Mathematical Modeling (4 semester hours) Prerequisites: MATH 220

Corequisites: None

Description: This course involves applications of mathematics to real-world problems drawn from industry, research, laboratories, the physical sciences, engineering and scientific literature.

Techniques used include parameter estimation, curve fitting, calculus, elementary probability, optimization, computer programming, and ordinary and partial differential equations. People routinely solve problems using estimation, probability, optimization, and simulation or modeling techniques without considering themselves mathematicians. This course broadens and strengthens the exposure of the interested student to applications of mathematics frequently seen in industry, science, and government. Offered Semester I (Fall), annually.
