MATHEMATICS 180 Introduction to Mathematics - A 5 hours An historical, conceptual overview of mathematics with little attention to computation. Ar– eas studied include mathematical systems, logic, sets, probability and statistics, informal Eu– clidean 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 the prospective elementary teacher has mastered the arithmetic skills and concepts currently taught at the elementary school level. The first quar– ter coverage includes ordinary arithmetic of real numbers and elementary algebraic con– cepts. 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 ele– mentary education majors. Prerequisite: Major in Elementary Education or permission of instructor. 184-185 Introduction lo 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.
