MATHEMATICS 180 Introduction to Mathematics - A 5 hours An historical, conceptual overview of mathematics with little attention to computa– tion. Areas studied include mathematical systems, logic, sets, probability and statistics, informal Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, and the metric system. 182-183 Mathematics for Elementary Teachers - W, Sp 5 hours each quarter A course designed to certify that th€ prospective elementary teacher has mastered the arithmetic skills and concepts currently taught at the elementary school level. The first quarter coverage includes ordinary arithmetic of real numbers and elemen– tary algebraic concepts. The second quarter is devoted to a study of the metric system, informal geometry, sets and statistics. The course does not satisfy general education requirements except for elementary education majors. Prerequisite: Major in Elementary Education or permission of instructor. 184-185 Introduction to Analysis - W, Sp 5 hours each quarter A general introduction to modern methods of analysis, including topics from algebra and trigonometry. The course is designed for students with inadequate preparation for calculus. Prerequisite: Two years high school mathematics or permission of instructor 281-282-283 Analytic Geometry and Calculus 5 hours each quarter An integrated course of the basic concepts of analytic geometry and the calculus. Includes theory of limits, derivatives, integrals, conic sections, solid analytic geometry, partial derivatives, multiple integrals, infinite series, differential equation. Prerequisite: Mathematics 184 and 185 or equivalent 384 Probability and Statistics - A 5 hours Probability, binomial, normal, t-, chi square and F- distributions, regression and analysis of variance will be studied from theoretical and practical viewpoints. Prerequisite: Mathematics 282
