Includes limits and derivatives of algebraic and transcendental functions, applications of the derivative, single variable integration, including the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and integration by substitution, and applications of integration, including solving differential equations and finding volumes of revolution. Prerequisite: GMTH-1030 Precalculus or equivalent; or permission of instructor. MATH-1720 Calculus II–Fa, Sp 5 hours The second course of a two-course sequence covering the basic concepts of analytic geometry and single variable calculus. Includes techniques of integration such as integration by parts, trigonometric substitution and partial fractions, improper integrals and L’Hopital’s rule, sequences, series, expansion of functions into Taylor and power series, conic sections, plane curves, calculus of parametric equations and polar coordinates, vectors and geometry in three-space, vector-valued functions and curvature. Prerequisite: MATH-1710 Calculus I or equivalent or permission of instructor. 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 MATH1710 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 Introduction to formal mathematical logic; emphasis on preparing students for the abstraction of upper-division courses. Special attention is given to the development of students’ skills with a variety of methods of proof, using examples from numerous areas. Prerequisites: MATH-1720 Calculus II; MATH1990 Beautiful Math Structures and Thinking; or permission of instructor. MATH-2510 Discrete Math for Computer Science–Sp 3 hours An introduction to mathematical foundations of computer science, including propositional and predicate calculus, methods of proof, sets and relations, recurrences, graphs and trees, and program correctness and proofs. This course does not satisfy any requirements for the BA or BS in mathematics or the BA in integrated mathematics education. Prerequisite: MATH-1710 Calculus I. MATH-2520 3 hours Discrete Math and Probability Principles for Computer Science–Sp An introduction to mathematical foundations of computer science, including propositional and predicate calculus, methods of proof, sets and relations, recurrences, program correctness and proofs, probability models, random variables, probability distributions, estimation, and hypothesis testing. This course does not satisfy any requirements for the BA or BS in mathematics or the BA in integrated mathematics education Prerequisites: MATH1720 Calculus II; EGCP-1010 Digital Logic Design. MATH-2710 Calculus III–Fa, Sp 3 hours Introduction to differential and integral calculus of several variables, multiple integrals, vector analysis, line integrals, and surface integrals.
