Prerequisite: Completion of Area A mathematics with a grade of C or higher. This course is an Area F introductory mathematics course that may only be taken by pre-early childhood and special education majors. This course will emphasize the understanding and use of the major concepts of number and operations. As a general theme, strategies of problem solving will be used and discussed in the context of various topics. A student may not receive credit for both MATH 2008 and MAED 3001. Enrollment is restricted to early childhood education majors and special education majors.

Prerequisite: C or better in MATH 1261. An introduction to the algebra and geometry of Euclidean 2-space and 3-space and its generalization to n-space and also a transition to the study of abstract vector spaces. Topics include systems of linear equations, matrix algebra, determinants, vector spaces, linear transformations, and an introduction to eigenvectors and eigenvalues.

Prerequisite: C or better in MATH 1262. Multi-variable and vector calculus. Topics include vectors, functions of several variables, partial derivatives, multiple integration, Green's and Stoke's Theorem.

Completion of Area A2 mathematics requirement. This course will introduce students to selected topics in advanced mathematics with the aim of conveying to students that mathematics deals with large and universal questions, that it does so in a unique and compelling way, and that mathematics has much to contribute to other areas of thought. The topics covered will be selected from number theory, set theory, graph theory, abstract algebra, and geometry.

Prerequisite: C or better in Area A mathematics. This course is an overview of descriptive and inferential statistics, with topics in exploratory data analysis, basic experiment design, probability distributions and elementary statistical inference.
