Prerequisite: MATH 099 or Level II placement on the Basic Math Skills Inventory or permission of the instructor. Open to early childhood and elementary/special education majors with sophomore standing; open to others with permission of the instructor. Credit by exam. Focus on developing a deep understanding of the fundamental ideas of elementary school mathematics: place value and multidigit calculations; the properties of integers, rationals, and reals; representing and justifying arithmetic claims; algebraic notation; representing functions by graphs, tables and formulas; appropriate use of technology.

Prerequisite: MATH 106. Open to early childhood education and elementary/special education majors with sophomore standing, and to others with permission of the instructor. Topics include visualization skills; basic shapes; the process of measurement; geometric concepts of length, area, and volume; designing data investigations and making judgments under conditions of uncertainty. Integrated mathematics laboratory approach, including the use of appropriate technology.

Prerequisite: MATH 098 or Level IB placement on the Basic Math Skills Inventory or permission of the department. These courses promote students' understanding and appreciation of mathematics and develop quantitative and problem solving skills. Each course uses the computer to aid in exploration and computation. Various topics are offered each semester.

Prerequisite: MATH 098 or Level IB placement on the Basic Math Skills Inventory or permission of the department. This course addresses a wide range of applications of basic mathematical ideas to modern life. Topics include: mathematical tools that businesses use to schedule and plan efficiently; number codes such as UPC, ZIP codes, and ISBN codes that help organize our lives; and surprising paradoxes and complexities of elections.

Prerequisite: MATH 098 or Level IB placement on the Basic Math Skills Inventory or permission of the department. A mathematical study of two basic questions about democracy, "How do we vote?" and "How do we allocate power?", revealing surprising paradoxes and complications. The course explores why we vote the way we do, what problems arise in voting, and what alternatives are being tried.

Prerequisites: MATH 098 or Level IB placement on the Basic Math Skills Inventory or permission of the department. How often is a perfect game pitched? Why split 8s in blackjack? How is a tournament scheduled for seven teams? Should you bet on a color or a number in roulette? Students will explore all of these questions and more using probability, linear models, graph theory, and more. This class also uses computational tools to solve problems and analyze data.

Prerequisite: MATH 098 or Level IB placement on the Basic Math Skills Inventory or permission of the instructor. Not open to students who have received credit for ECMG 212, MATH 112W, MATH 213, PSY 211 or SOC 261. Statistics with emphasis on applications. Topics covered include statistical measures, normal distribution, sampling theory, statistical inference, hypothesis testing and quality control, correlation, regression and analysis of variance. Students will use statistical software packages on the computer to explore topics in more depth.

Prerequisite: MATH 098 or Level IB placement on the Basic Math Skills Inventory or permission of the instructor. Not open to students who have received credit for ECMG 212, MATH 112, MATH 213, PSY 211 or SOC 261. An active-learning approach to introductory statistics. Emphasis is on collaboration, discovery, and use of technology. Topics covered are the same as those in MATH 112: statistical measures, distributions, sampling, inference, confidence intervals, correlation, regression, ANOVA. Students will use a statistical software package.

Prerequisite: MATH 099 or Level II placement on the Basic Math Skills Inventory. Credit by exam. Not open to students who have received credit for MATH 201 or its equivalent. Functions and graphs: polynomial, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions; analytic geometry. Emphasis is on problem-solving, mathematical modeling and the use of technology. Designed primarily as preparation for calculus.

Prerequisite: Level 1.7 mathematics placement score; concurrent enrollment in MATH 120. Students in this class will work on algebra skills necessary to be successful in MATH 120. Each week's workshop will parallel the content of MATH 120 for that week. Grading is on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis.
