Mathematics

MATH 601 Using the Graphing Calculator in the School Curriculum (1) In this 24-hour workshop participants will develop a better understanding of graphing technology while considering the following topics: domain, range, linear and quadratic functions, common solutions, inequalities, extreme values, slope, translations, rational and trigonometric functions, asymptotes, statistical menus and data, exponential and logarithmic functions. Problem solving and programming will be included throughout.

MATH 602 Concepts and Practices in General Mathematics (3) A practical approach to the development of programs, methods of motivation, and mathematical concepts for the teacher of general mathematics. Prereq: 15 hours of math including calculus.

MATH 603 Fundamental Concepts of Algebra (3) The conceptual framework of algebra, recent developments in algebraic theory and advanced topics in algebra for teachers and curriculum supervisors. Prereq: 24 hours of math including calculus.

MATH 604 Fundamental Concepts of Geometry (3) The conceptual framework of many different geometries, recent developments in geometric theory, and advanced topics in geometry for teachers and curriculum supervisors. Prereq: 24 hours of math including calculus.

MATH 605 Problem Solving in Mathematics (3) Theory and practice in mathematical problem-solving; exploration of a variety of techniques; and finding solutions to problems in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and other mathematics for teachers of mathematics and curriculum supervisors. Prereq: 24 hours of math including calculus.

MATH 611 Introduction to Analysis for Secondary Teachers (3) A study of continuity, differentiability and integrability of a function of a real variable particularly as these properties appear in the secondary school mathematics curriculum. Prereq: at least an undergraduate minor in mathematics.

MATH 614 Basic Topics in Mathematics for the Elementary Teacher (3) For the elementary teacher who needs to have a better understanding of mathematical content. Sets, numeration systems and algorithms for computation are studied in conjunction with a logical but non-rigorous development of the real numbers.

MATH 624 Intermediate Topics in Mathematics for the Elementary Teacher (3) Topics included are an intuitive study of geometric figures, measurement, basic algebra and functions, and the rudiments of statistics and probability. Designed for the elementary teacher who needs a better understanding of mathematical content.

MATH 638 Fundamental Models in Statistical Inference (3) This class emphasizes the study of probability models hat form he basis of standard statistical techniques.  Statistical techniques considered include inferences involving measures of central tendency and measues of variability, linear regression model estimation and goodness of fit hypohesis testing.  Prereq: at least an undergraduate minor in mathematics.
