101 Intermediate Algebra Supplement-1 hour.  This course is a supplement to Math 100; topics include concepts from elementary algebra.  Concurrent enrollment in the corresponding section of Math 100 is required.  This supplemental course is mandatory for students who have not been successful (C or better) in Math 100 after having attempted it twice or for students who were placed into GENS 097 and did not pass it on the first attempt. This course does not satisfy the A₂ component of the University Core Curriculum. F, Sp, Su

103 Mathematics for Elementary Teachers I-3 hours. This course is the first course in a two-course sequence designed to enhance the conceptual understanding and processes of the common content in elementary mathematics curricula. Topics include problem solving, counting, the structure of the decimal system and procedural and conceptual understanding of the four basic operations on whole number, decimals and fractions. The use of manipulatives and technology will support learning and teaching in these and other topics studied. Enrollment is only open to students seeking a degree in elementary education or a related degree. This courses does not satisfy the A2 category of the University Core Curriculum. Prereq: C or better in Math 100 or satisfactory placement score.

107 Fundamentals of Mathematics for Nursing-4 hours. Topics covered include algebraic concepts and procedures (equations, ratios, proportions, percentage problems, formulas,  logarithmic calculations), geometric concepts and procedures (systems of measurements and conversions, area, volume), problem solving techniques (modeling, dosage calculations, flow-rate calculations, angle measurements) and an introduction to statistical methods and procedures (measure of central tendency, constructing and interpreting graphs, range, standard deviation and coefficient of variation, normal distributions). Prerequisites: This online course is open only to persons with an Associate's Degree in Nursing from a program that includes a minimum of one semester of intermediate algebra and who are seeking a BS or MS in nursing. Exams are given in person on campus or via an approved proctor. Students are required to complete textbook homework that will be emailed or faxed weekly and there is additional on-line homework due weekly.

108 Survey of Mathematics-4 hours. A survey of contemporary topics in mathematics designed to introduce students to thinking processes developed in mathematics. Scientific calculators will be used. This course satisfies the A₂ category of the University's Core Curriculum. Prerequisite: MATH 100 (grades of C or better) or satisfactory placement score.   F, Sp, Su
