Students will be able to work on business and economics applied problems using the derivative. The use of a graphing calculator/computer program is essential throughout this course. Students successfully completing this course with a “C” or higher should be prepared to take AP Calculus BC. 

 

MAT450 College Mathematics Credit: 1.0 Students will gain a working knowledge of college-level mathematics and its application to real-life problems. There is an emphasis on understanding mathematical concepts and their applications. Topics include set theory, probability, statistics, finance and geometry. This course may be offered for college (dual) credit and is the course most non-math/science majors need.

 

MAT520 AP Calculus BC* Credit: 1.0 This course continues the thorough study of differentiation and integration begun in Honors Brief Calculus. Applications of these topics are studied: limits, continuity, differentiation, integration, infinite series, and differential equations are investigated in-depth. After completion of this course, the student may wish to take one of these Advanced Placement Exams: Calculus AB or Calculus BC.

 

MAT530 Honors Calculus III* Credit: 0.5 This course is designed as an advanced follow-up course to AP Calculus BC. This course will cover the third semester of college calculus. This course will be taught utilizing a graphing calculator. Computer graphing will be used to enhance visualization and conceptualization. Real-life applications and examples will reinforce problem-solving skills. The course will combine graphical, numerical, and algebraic techniques toward the solution of problems involving the techniques of calculus.

 

MAT540 Differential Equations* Credit: 0.5 This course is designed as an advanced follow-up course to Honors Calculus III. This course will cover differential equations. This course will be taught utilizing a graphing calculator. Computer graphing will be used to enhance visualization and conceptualization. Real-life applications and examples will reinforce problem-solving skills. The course will combine graphical, numerical, and algebraic techniques toward the solution of problems involving the techniques of calculus.  

 

MAT550 AP Statistics* Credit: 1.0 This college-level course is designed to explore data analysis, standard deviation, scatter plots, correlation, residual plots, experimental design, bias, probability, central limit theorem, the margin of error, null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, assumptions rules of thumb, p-value, alphas level, type I & II errors, confidence intervals, inference by z-tests, I & II sample and tests, I & II proportion tests, x2 tests, 2 sample f-tests, Anova tests, linear regression t-tests.

MAT560 Honors Linear Algebra* Credit: 1.0 This course is a college-level course for students who have completed Honors Calculus III. This course covers systems of linear equations and matrices, Gauss-Jordan elimination, homogeneous systems, matrix algebra, matrices, and inverses. Study continues with determinants, by row reduction and cofactor expansions, vector spaces, linear independence, subspaces, bases, and dimension. It also covers topics such as linear transformations, matrices, change of basis, similarity, rank, null spaces, range, inner product spaces, Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization, eigenvectors and values and diagonalization. This course is presented in a more rigorous way than a student may be used to from previous math courses, so although the theory is easier than that of calculus, there will be perhaps unexpected challenges for most students.
