MATH 090 Foundation Course in
Math 3 Credits
Foundation Course in Math is a remedial
course intended for students who need
assistance in math skills. It is a non-transfer
course intended for students lacking preparation
for college-level math courses. Students
will be introduced to basic arithmetic
and algebra which will help and enable
students to further their math studies
at the college level. Strategies for dealing
with common mathematical problem areas
and ways for improvement will be taught.
The focus of is to help students attain
the necessary Math competence for college
students.
MATH 110 College Algebra 3 Credits
College Algebra develops a variety of
skills and techniques for making precise
and accurate calculations relevant to
everyday experiences. A complete overview
is given through the use of set theory
and number structure. Emphasis on studying
practical problems with the help of mathematical
models will be applied.
MATH 120 Statistics 3 Credits
Prerequisite: College Algebra
Statistics introduces and makes students
aware the use of statistical tools in
real life business situations. They are
taught to compute mean, median, mode and
standard deviation of the group data.
In addition the course focuses on instructing
the probability approach that is needed
to formulate, solve and interpret real
life business problems. Students are also
exposed to different real life business
scenarios with a major emphasis on the
analysis and interpretation of the data.
MATH 220 Pre Calculus 3 Credits
Pre-Calculus continues as a foundation
in its relationship to College Algebra.
This course is a pre-requisite to the
study of Calculus which when properly
presented with College Algebra, proves
to be a solid base for students continuing
on in further upper division math courses.
In order to complete the course successfully,
students must have had some basic algebra
preparation.
MATH 240 Calculus 3 Credits
Prerequisite: Pre Calculus
Calculus I introduces the differential
and integral calculus of functions of
a single variable and provides a deeper
understanding of functions as both processes
and entities. Students will develop a
working understanding of the central calculus
concepts (CCCs) limit, derivative, and
integral work to interrelate the CCCs.
Students will work with calculus topics
from a graphical, numerical, and algebraic
point of view. The course will allow students
to establish connections among calculus
topics and “real world” applications.
In addition students will be able to achieve
the level of mathematical understanding
required for further study of calculus.
MATH 241 Discrete Mathematics
3 Credits
Prerequisite: College Algebra Discrete
Mathematics is an introduction introduces
elementary concepts in logic, set theory,
and combinatory. Important concepts, techniques
and structures will be taught in order
for students to understand the basic groundwork
in the computer science field.
