Rotation of Upper-level Offerings

323 College Geometry-3 hours. An introduction to the foundations of geometry.  Topics from finite, Euclidean and Non-Euclidean geometries are explored.  Properties of polygons, convexity and various geometric shapes are explored.  Prerequisite: MATH 330.  F

235 Calculus II-4 hours. Integrating and differentiating transcendental functions, applications of the integral, numerical integration techniques, and infinite series. This course satisfies the A₂ category of the University Core Curriculum.  Prerequisite: MATH 230 (grade of C or better).  F, Sp, Su

331 Mathematical Models with Applications-3 hours. Techniques from algebra, calculus, probability and other areas of mathematics are employed to solve problems arising in the biological, physical and social sciences. Suitable for secondary school teachers. Prerequisite: MATH 230 or consent of instructor.

335 Calculus III-4 hours. Vectors in two and three dimensions, surfaces and space curves, partial differentiation, multiple integration with applications of each. This course satisfies the A2category of the University Core Curriculum.  Prerequisites: MATH 235 (grade of C or better) or consent of instructor.   F, Sp

353 Discrete Mathematics-3 hours. Topics in discrete methods, combinations, graph theory, and finite algebraic structures will be studied. The applications of these topics in computer science, physical and life science, as well as in social sciences makes the course valuable for students in many majors. Prerequisite: MATH 253 or consent of instructor.
