MAT 131: Calculus and Analytic Geometry I. Review of functions; limits of functions; derivatives and definite integrals of algebraic and transcendental functions; indeterminate forms; applications of the derivative and integral; the fundamental theorem of calculus. Prerequisite: MAT 120 or appropriate scores on ACT, SAT, or placement test. Credit: 5 semester hours.

MAT 132: Calculus and Analytic Geometry II. Review of the fundamental theorem of calculus; properties of definite and indefinite integrals; applications of the definite integral; techniques of integration; improper integrals; definite integral approximation with error bounds; infinite sequences and series; Taylor polynomial approximation; parametric equations and polar coordinates. Prerequisite: MAT 131. Credit: 5 semester hours.

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 MAT115/176. Prerequisite: MAT 095 with a grade of C or better or appropriate sores on ACT, SAT, or mathematics placement test. CREDIT: 3 SEMESTER HOURS.

MAT 172: Accelerated Contemp. Math. "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: 3 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 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: 4 SEMESTER HOURS.

MAT 200: Introduction to Statistical Reasoning and Analysis. This course consists of three hours of regular classroom contact taught by Mathematics faculty and a 1 hour career application laboratory. Topics will include sampling techniques, data measurement and classification, measures of central tendency, representation and communication of statistical information symbolically, visually, and numerically, probability, evaluation and assessment of different statistical models such as normal distributions, linear regression, confidence intervals, and one sample hypothesis testing. Prerequisite: Appropriate scores on ACT, SAT, COMPASS, and KYOTE. Credits: 4 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: grade of C or better in MAT 115/176. Credit: 4 semester hours.
