This course is an alternative in Area A of the Core Curriculum and is not intended to supply sufficient algebraic background for students who intend to take Precalculus or the calculus sequences for mathematics and science majors. This course places quantitative skills and reasoning in the context of experiences that students will be likely to encounter. It emphasizes processing information in context from a variety of representatives, understanding of both the information and the processing, and understanding which conclusions can be reasonably determined.

Prerequisite: Four years of high school mathematics. Students who have completed a course in calculus in high school with a grade of B or better may not enroll for credit in this course without permission of the chair of the Department of Mathematics. This course is an introduction to mathematical modeling using graphical, numerical, symbolic, and verbal techniques to describe and explore real world phenomena. Emphasis is on the use of elementary functions to investigate and analyze applied problems and questions, supported by the use of appropriate technology, and on effective communication of quantitative concepts and results.

This course is a symbolically intensive, functional approach to algebra that incorporates the use of appropriate technology. Emphasis will be placed on the study of functions and their graphs, inequalities, and linear, quadratic, piece-wise defined, rational, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Appropriate applications will be included.

Prerequisites: Grade of C or better in MATH 1111 or equivalent. This course is designed to prepare students for calculus, physics, and related technical subjects. Topics include an intensive study of algebraic and transcendental functions accompanied by analytic geometry.

Prerequisite: Four years of high school mathematics. Topics covered will include the basic trigonometric functions, graphs of trigonometric functions, identities, triangles, the law of sines and the law of cosines. Also covered are the conic sections and their graphs. Students may not receive credit for both MATH 1113 and MATH 1114.

Prerequisite: C or better in Area A mathematics. This course introduces the concepts of differential and integral calculus useful to students in business, economics, biology, and the social sciences. Topics include: the derivative, methods of finding derivatives, applications of derivatives, the integral, methods of integration, applications of integrals, and elementary multivariable calculus. A student may not receive credit for MATH 1260 and MATH 1261. MATH 1260 does not substitute for MATH 1261 in any course that has MATH 1261 as a prerequisite or in any degree program that requires MATH 1261.

Prerequisite: C or better in MATH 1113 or MATH 1114 or an average of B or better in four years of high school mathematics including a course in trigonometry or permission of the instructor. This course introduces the fundamental concepts of calculus: limits, continuity, differentiation, transcendental functions, and Riemann Integration. Applications of these topics are included.

Prerequisite: C or better in MATH 1261. This course covers further topics in calculus: techniques of integration, analytic geometry and vectors, infinite series, and polar coordinates.
