MATH-1880 Topics in Calculus
–Fa, Sp, Su
1–3 hours
This course is for students who are attempting to transfer
credit for MATH-1710 or MATH-1720 Calculus I and II when those
transferred courses lack some of the topics contained in MATH-
1710 or MATH-1720. It requires full participation in a MATH-1710
or MATH-1720 course during the sections in which the student’s
transferred course is found to be deficient or in a stand-alone
course offered during Summer School I. Prerequisite: GMTH-1030
Precalculus or equivalent; permission of instructor. Corequisite:
partial transfer credit for MATH-1710 and/or MATH-1720 or
approved transient credit for a Calculus I or II course that will
provide less than full credit for MATH-1710 or MATH 1720.
MATH-1990
3 hours
Beautiful Math Structures and Thinking
–Fa
This course introduces freshmen math majors to interesting
mathematical ideas and applications beyond the usual scope
of standard math courses. Topics include an introduction to
propositional logic, function theory, and infinite sets. Other
topics will be chosen from elementary number theory, modular
arithmetic, error-correcting codes, Fibonacci numbers and the
golden ratio, fractals, discrete dynamical systems and chaos, Euler
and Hamilton Circuits, democracy and impossibility theorems,
game theory, the Platonic solids, n-dimensional space, and other
topics up to the discretion of the instructor.
MATH-2210 Logic and Methods of Proof
–Fa
3 hours
