MAT 171: Algebraic Concepts. This is a 3-credit course consisting of three hours of regular classroom contact taught by mathematics faulty and 2 hours of supplemental math studio contact guide by ACE instructional counsellors in coordination with the faculty responsible for the course. This course develops algebraic skills through the use of data collection, hands-on manipulatives, and application of algebraic concepts with embedded study skills. Topics include the properties of equality; linear equalities and inequalities, with applications; graphing (linear, quadratic, and exponential growth models), including data collection; rigorous quantitative and qualitative analysis of quadratic functions; and appropriate applications. This course serves as a prerequisite for students whose intended major requires them to complete MAT 115/176. Prerequisite: MAT 095 with a grade of C or better or appropriate sores on ACT, SAT, or mathematics placement test. CREDIT: THREE SEMESTER HOURS.

MAT 172: Accelerated Contemporary Mathematics. This course develops problem-solving and mathematical skills through a sequence of applied topics. Topics include mathematical finance, probability and statistics, and linear and quadratic growth models. The beginning algebra required for each topic will be covered with the topic. Prerequisite: MAT 095 with grade of C or better or appropriate scores on ACT, SAT, or mathematics placement test. CREDIT: FOUR SEMESTER HOURS.

MAT 176: Accelerated College Algebra. This course is designed to be an efficient combination of Intermediate Algebra and College Algebra. Topics include manipulation of monomials, polynomials, rational and radical expressions; solving equations and inequalities, including linear, rational, quadratic, absolute value, exponential a logarithmic; developing problem solving techniques; and introduction to functions, variation, the algebra of functions and their graphs; study of properties and graphs of polynomial and rational functions, including use of a graphing calculator and regression analysis; reading/interpreting graphs of function and applications. Prerequisite: An ACT math subscore of 19 (or better), or an SAT math subscore of 400 (or better), or a grade of C or better in MAT 096, or a KYOTE College Readiness placement score of 22 (or better). CREDIT: FOUR SEMESTER HOURS.

MAT 203: Mathematics for Elementary Teachers I. This is the first course in a two-semester sequence designed to meet the needs of elementary school teachers. Topics include sets, whole numbers, numeration systems, bases, elementary number theory, fractions, decimals, real numbers. Problem solving, applications and historical topics are discussed throughout the course. Prerequisite: completion of mathematics liberal studies requirement. CREDIT: FOUR SEMESTER HOURS.

MAT 204: Mathematics for Elementary Teachers II. Continuation of MAT 203. Topics include ratio and proportion, probability, statistics, geometry, and measurement. Prerequisite: MAT 111 or MAT 172. CREDIT: FOUR SEMESTER HOURS.

MAT 231: Multivariate Calculus. Calculus of vector-valued functions, partial differentiation, multiple integrals, curl, surface integrals and Stokes' theorem. Plane curves, polar coordinates, vectors, and three-dimensional analytic geometry. Prerequisite: MAT 132. CREDIT: THREE SEMESTER HOURS.

MAT 232: Differential Equations. The study of first-order equations, linear equations, the Laplace transform, Picard's existence theorems, and systems of equations. Prerequisite: MAT 132. CREDIT: THREE SEMESTER HOURS.

MAT 300: Introduction to Advanced Mathematics. This course provides an orientation to higher mathematics. Topics include logic, mathematical proof, set theory, relations and functions, and an introduction to mathematical axiom systems. Prerequisite: MAT 132 or consent of instructor. CREDIT: THREE SEMESTER HOURS.
