- MATH 231: Calculus and Analytical Geometry
The world in which we live today could not exist without the
explosion in mathematical knowledge that occurred since the Renaissance.
Not only does mathematics make modern technology possible, but
mathematical ideas have profoundly changed our views of the structure of
the world itself. The ideas which today are grouped under the heading of
Calculus lie at the center of this transformation; although some of them
can be traced back to Archimedes, the subject is usually considered to
have been developed by Newton and Leibnitz in the 17th century, and its
success in solving problems such as planetary motion led to the modern
idea of the universe as a complex, but predictable, machine. We will study
Calculus by solving problems. Primary topics of study include elementary
conic sections, optimization and graphing techniques, integration and
anti-differentiation, the Mean and Value Theorem, the fundamental theorem
of calculus, and applications.
Prereq: Math Placement Level A
- MATH 341: Seminar: Intro. to the Language and Practice of
Mathematics
It is often said that learning mathematics is like learning a
second language. There is much truth to this statement. Mathematics is
written in a very precise and careful manner, where each and every word
has an exact meaning not subject to interpretation. In order to truly
understand mathematics, one must become fluent in the language. One goal
of Math 341 is to give students an opportunity to read, write and think in
that language.
A second goal is to develop students' ability to reason abstractly, to
create their own logical arguments, to express these arguments both orally
and in writing, and to think critically about such arguments.
This is accomplished in a small group setting (15 students or less) with
much student participation. Topics of study include: logic, sets,
functions, order, mathematical induction, cardinality, and others. No
previous knowledge of these topics is required.
