justice. Extensive reading is required for the course. It can only be used as a general
elective in theBSMathematics degrees.
Prerequisite(s): A C or better in MATH 1231 or PSYC 2105 or SOCI 3510 or
permission of the instructor.
MATH3220 - AppliedStatistics (3-0-3)
This course is an introduction to multiple regression, analysis of variance, and other
selected inference methods. Topics will be selected from chi-square tests, non-
parametric statistical methods, analysis of variance using simple experimental
designs, and multiple regression methods, including model checking, analysis of
residuals, and model building. Throughout the course, real data and computer
softwarewill be utilized.
Prerequisite(s): A grade of C or better in MATH 1231 or PSYC 2105 and MATH 1241
or MATH 1501 or CHEM 2412 or BUSA 3101.
MATH3303 -OrdinaryDifferential Equations (3-0-3)
This course provides an introduction to methods for solving ordinary differential
equations. Course material will include modeling and methods of solution for linear
and nonlinear first order equations, modeling andmethods of solution for second and
higher order linear equations and series solutions around ordinary points. Further
topics (e.g. series solutions around regular singular points, Laplace transformmethods
and introductory methods for solving systems of ordinary differential equations) may
beadded at the instructor’s discretion.
Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in MATH 2502 and a grade of C or better or
concurrent enrollment inMATH2140.
MATH 3520 – Introduction toAnalysis (3-0-3)
This is a rigorous introduction to analysis of functions on Euclidean space. Topics
include limits, continuity, sequences, series, differentiation, integration, and sequences
and series of functions.
Prerequisites: A grade of C or better inMATH2503 andMATH 3005.
MATH 4010 - Mathematical ProblemSolving: AdvancedConcepts (3-0-3)
This course is a study of extended and refined methods of mathematical problem
solving. These methods will allow the use of problem-solving approaches to
investigate and understand mathematical content, to apply integrated mathematical
problem-solving strategies to solve problems from within and without mathematics,
and to apply the processes of mathematical modeling to real-world problem situations.
Problems tobe solved will arise from a variety of areas including the course content of
MATH 3010 andMATH3020.
Prerequisite(s): A grade of C or better inMATH 3020.
MATH4020 - Concepts of DiscreteMathematics (3-0-3)
This course is a study of mathematical topics characterized by discrete processes.
The study focuses on combinatorics, the theory of graphs and trees, matrix
representations, and iterative algorithms. Recursive thinking and inductive processes
are emphasized through a variety of applications involving discrete mathematical
models. Deductive proof is introduced through topics from logic, set theory, and graph
theory; some relevant topics from thehistory of mathematics are explored.
Prerequisite(s): MATH 3030 (C) and a grade of C or better or concurrent enrollment in
MATH4010.
MATH 4050 –Methods of TeachingSecondaryMathematics (3-0-3)
Students will explore theory and pedagogy of mathematics instruction with a focus on
teaching methods across a variety of mathematical topics. The emphasis will be on
learning and communicating mathematics. Topics will be taken from Number and
Operations, Geometry, Algebra, Data Analysis, and Discrete Mathematics.
Appropriate integration of technology for mathematics teaching and learning will be
emphasized.
