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.
Prerequisites: eligibility for
Q courses.

In the twentieth century, the theory of games
gained prominence for its application to the social sciences. Game theory is a
mathematical approach to modeling situations of conflict whether real of
theoretical. This course will introduce the student to this exciting area of
mathematics. Using algebra and some analytical geometry, students will be able
to explore the mathematical foundations of game theory. At the same time
students will encounter a wide range of applications of the theory of games.
Topics covered will be chosen from: zero sum games, nonzero sum games, pure and
mixed strategies, von Neumann’s Minimax Theorem, Nash equilibria, and
cooperative games.
Prerequisities: Precalculus or permission of the instructor.

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.

The fundamental ideas of analysis in
one-dimensional Euclidean space are studied. Topics covered include the completeness
of the real numbers, sequences, Cauchy sequences, continuity, uniform
continuity, the derivative, and the Riemann integral. As time permits other
topics may be considered, such as infinite series of functions or metric
spaces.
Prerequisite: Mathematics 261 or
