CRN	92152	Distribution	E
Course No.	MATH 107 Q course
Title	Topics in Geometrical Math
Professor	Ethan Bloch
Schedule	Mon Wed 3:00 pm - 4:20 pm HEG 106

Geometrical mathematics involves many topics other than traditional Euclidean geometry. This course explores topics that vary from semester to semester and may include some, but not all of the following: symmetry, groups, frieze and wallpaper patterns, graphs, surfaces, knots, and higher dimensions.

Prerequisite: eligibility for Q courses and a willingness to explore new ideas and construct convincing arguments is a necessity.

CRN	92154	Distribution	E
Course No.	MATH 110 Q course
Title	Precalculus Mathematics
Professor	Jeff Suzuki
Schedule	Mon Wed 9:00 am - 10:20 am HEG 102

A course for students who intend to take calculus and need to acquire the necessary skills in algebra and trigonometry. The concept of function is stressed, with particular attention given to linear, quadratic, general polynomial, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Graphing in the Cartesian plane and developing the trigonometric functions as circular functions are included. This class makes extensive use of graphing calculators.

Prerequisites: eligibility for Q course.

Title	Calculus I
Professor	Wesley Ostertag
Schedule	Mon Wed 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm HEG 102

An introduction to the basic ideas of differentiation and integration in one variable. Topics include limits, techniques of differentiation, definite integrals, the fundamental theorem of calculus, and applications.

Prerequisite: Mathematics 110 or equivalent.

Title	Calculus II
Professor	Ethan Bloch
Schedule	Tu Th 3:00 pm - 4:50 pm ALBEE 106

This course, a continuation of Calculus I, reinforces the fundamental ideas of the derivative and the definite integral. Topics covered include L'Hopital's rule, integration techniques, improper integrals, volumes, arc length, sequences and series, power series, continuous random variables, and separable differential equations.

Prerequisites: Mathematics 111 or the equivalent.

Title	Ordinary Differential Equations
Professor	Karen Ricciardi
Schedule	Mon Wed 1:30 pm - 3:20 pm HEG 201

This course is both an introduction to ordinary differential equations as well as the final course in our three-semester Calculus sequence. The course is organized around methods for solving ordinary differential equations, and incorporates ideas from Calculus as needed (such as sequences and series). Topics include first and second order differential equations, Laplace transforms and series solutions.

Prerequisite: Mathematics 111 and 114, or permission of instructor.

CRN	92161	Distribution	E
Course No.	MATH 235 Q course
Title	Discrete Mathematics
Professor	Melvin Chen
Schedule	Tu Th 7:00 pm - 8:20 pm ALBEE 106

This course will examine the field of discrete mathematics, especially the areas of importance in computer science, such as algorithms, combinatorics, probability, and graph theory. Equal time will be given to theory, computation, and applications.

Prerequisites: Math 111 or permission of the instructor.

CRN	92733	Distribution	E
Course No.	MATH 261 Q course
Title	Proofs and Fundamentals
Professor	Mark Halsey
Schedule	Tu Th 1:30 pm - 2:50 pm ALBEE 106

This course introduces students to the methodology of mathematical proof. The logic of compound and quantified statements, mathematical induction, and basic set theory including functions and cardinality are covered. Topics from foundational mathematics are developed to provide students with an opportunity to apply proof techniques.

Prerequisite: Mathematics 111 and 114, or permission of instructor.

CRN	92162	Distribution	E
Course No.	MATH 331 Q course
Title	Linear Algebra
Professor	Karen Ricciardi
Schedule	Tu Th 10:00 am - 11:20 am ALBEE 106

This course gives an introduction to the theory of abstract vector spaces. The concept of a vector space is often useful when studying physical phenomena. Topics covered will include linear independence and dependence, bases and dimension, linear transformations, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, diagonalization, inner product spaces, and orthogonality.

Prerequisite: Mathematics 231 or 261.

CRN	92163	Distribution	E
Course No.	MATH 361 Q course
Title	Real Analysis
Professor	Ethan Bloch
Schedule	Mon Wed 1:30 pm - 2:50 pm HEG 106

An introduction to the rigorous study of functions of real variables. Topics include the topology of Euclidean spaces, continuity, convergence, and the Riemann integral. Proofs will be emphasized.

Prerequisites: Mathematics 231 or permission of the instructor.
