MATH 1101 Intro to Mathematical Modeling

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.

MATH 1111 College Algebra

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.

MATH 1112 College Trigonometry

Prerequisite: Four years of high school mathematics. This course is an in-depth study of the properties of trigonometric functions and their inverses. Topics include circular functions, special angles, solutions of triangles, trigonometric ildentities and equations, graphs of trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions and their graphs, Law of Sines, Law of Cosines, and vectors. Students may not receive credit for both MATH 1112 and MATH 1113.

3

MATH 1113 Precalculus

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. This is a HOPE and Zell Miller STEM course.

MATH 1260 Survey of Calculus

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.

MATH 1261 Calculus I

Prerequisite: C or better in MATH 1112 or MATH 1113 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. This is a HOPE and Zell Miller STEM course.

4

MATH 1262 Calculus II

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. This is a HOPE and Zell Miller STEM course.

4

MATH 1401 Elementary Statistics

Prerequisite: C or better in Area A mathematics. This is a non-calculus based introduction to statistics. Course content includes descriptive statistics, probability theory, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and other selected statistical topics. This is a HOPE and Zell Miller STEM course.
