Course information contained within the Bulletin is accurate at the time of publication in August 2023 but is subject to change. For the most up-to-date course information, please refer to the Course Catalog.
This course surveys a variety of mathematical topics. Topics include numeracy with an emphasis on estimation and fluency with large numbers, evaluating expressions and formulas, rates, ratios, proportions, and percentages, solving equations, linear models, data interpretations including graphs and tables, verbal, algebraic and graphical representations of functions, exponential models. The course will help students develop conceptual understanding and acquire multiple strategies for solving problems. It will prepare students for success in future quantitative courses and will help them develop skills for the workplace and for everyday life. Please note that MATH 0701 is no longer a prerequisite for MATH 1021, College Algebra, or STAT 1001, Quantitative Methods for Business I. Students whose program of studies requires one of these two courses must complete MATH 0702, Intermediate Algebra, instead.

This course is designed as an intermediate algebra course that prepares students for the topics covered in MATH 1021. This course covers the real number system, basic properties of real numbers, operations with fractional expressions, simplifying complex fractions, powers and roots, operations with radicals, graphing linear equations and inequalities, and factoring of polynomials.
This course is about becoming an "informed user" of quantitative information. Do numbers make us more or less rational? What does "free" really mean? What's the difference between "correlation" and "cause"? How can we be misled by numbers? How can we make better decisions and have more effective discussions by understanding mathematics? Does it make sense to play the lottery? What are your chances of drawing the card you in need in a poker game? How long will it take you to save a million dollars assuming interest is earned but you keep spending? How does math play into the digital world that surrounds us, whether it is email, online tools or the creation of passwords, IDs or serial numbers? These and many other questions will be explored and answered throughout the course. NOTE: (1) This course fulfills the Quantitative Literacy (GQ) requirement for students under GenEd and a Quantitative Reasoning (QA or QB) requirement for students under Core. (2) Duplicate Course: Students cannot receive credit for CIS 0823/0923 if they have successfully completed MATH 0823/0923.
This course will convey the essence of mathematics and its current breadth. It sets out to describe mathematics as a rich and living part of human culture, and is intended for the general student with minimal mathematical knowledge. Exposure to this subject matter will contribute to students' educational breadth and intellectual development by sharpening their problem-solving skills, enhancing their understanding of logical reasoning and analysis, and strengthening their ability to use language and symbolic expression in a disciplined manner. The course will consist of a series of vignettes. Topics may include problem solving, voting theory, graph theory, finance, mathematical models, cryptography, statistics and probability. NOTE: This course fulfills the Quantitative Literacy (GQ) requirement for students under GenEd and a Quantitative Reasoning (QA or QB) requirement for students under Core. Students cannot receive credit for MATH 0824 if they have successfully completed MATH 0924.
The course teaches students how to deal with and solve complex problems by confronting them with critical analysis. We look at these problems both from an historical perspective and the practical view of how and when these types of problems affect the students' everyday lives. The course takes students through several key mathematical disciplines, including probability and statistics, including the hallmark of probability - reasoning under uncertainty - as well as set theory and counting techniques and graphing, especially with Venn diagrams, a skill they will find beneficial as the world turns to technology and graphics. For example, when we introduce probability, we cover the first dramatic application of the discipline, Mendel's discovery of the centuries-old problem of explaining the scientific laws of heredity as he gives birth to genetics. We also cover Mendel's use of statistics. This leads us to study modern uses of the same concepts in areas such as medicine - how to evaluate statistical studies and how to analyze topics such as false positives - as well as the application of DNA in areas such as how it has significantly changed our justice system.

This course provides a firm foundation for the study of statistics in other fields. Although no one field is emphasized to the exclusion of others, applications are drawn from psychology, political science, exercise science, and other areas. NOTE: This course can be used to satisfy the university Core Quantitative Reasoning B (QB) requirement. Although it may be usable towards graduation as a major requirement or university elective, it cannot be used to satisfy any of the university GenEd requirements. See your advisor for further information.
This is a course intended for students wishing to familiarize themselves with basic arithmetic and geometric concepts. Subjects include the real numbers, the decimal system, and fractions, elementary number theory (primes, gcd, lcm, rational and irrational numbers), and geometry (angles, triangles, polygons, polyhedra, circles, spheres, symmetry, congruence, and similarity).
Fundamentals of finite mathematics necessary for a business student to pursue statistics and other quantitatively oriented business courses. Topics and illustrations are specifically directed to applications in business and economics. Topics include algebraic concepts; linear, quadratic, polynomial and rational functions; logarithm and exponential functions; elementary matrix manipulations. Fitting of curves, interest rate calculations, present and future values of annuities are some of the specific applications. Use of a graphing calculator. NOTE: (1) Duplicate Course: Students cannot receive credit for MATH 1018 if they have successfully completed Statistics 1001. (2) This course can be used to satisfy the university Core Quantitative Reasoning A (QA) requirement. Although it may be usable towards graduation as a major requirement or university elective, it cannot be used to satisfy any of the university GenEd requirements.

This is a calculus course in the reform style that will introduce students to the basic concepts of differential and integral calculus. The emphasis of the course will be on understanding the concepts (intuitively rather than rigorously). However, the course will also cover the basic techniques of differentiation and some techniques of integration. NOTE: (1) This is the course appropriate for those students who are taking calculus in order to fulfill the quantitative core requirements. (2) This course can be used to satisfy the university Core Quantitative Reasoning B (QB) requirement or the GenEd Quantitative Literacy (GQ) requirement.
This is the lab component of MATH 1041, a first semester calculus course that involves both theory and applications. MATH 1039 is required for students who earned a grade of C- in MATH 1022 Precalculus. Students with no previous calculus experience or those needing extra review of algebra and precalculus topics are strongly encouraged to register for MATH 1039. Topics include algebra and precalculus in the context of the topics covered in MATH 1041.
