  • Introduction to Mathematical Proofs

  • 4
  This course introduces the student to the formal methods of mathematical proof. Course topics include set theory, logic, proof by contrapositive, existence proofs, proof by contradiction, mathematical induction, proof by counterexample, mathematical conjectures, equivalence relations, congruence Modulo n, the integers Modulo n and simple proofs in Number Theory. This course serves as a necessary conceptual bridge from the undergraduate study of calculus to more advanced mathematics courses involving proofs and analysis. Prerequisites: MAT 204
• • MAT 217

  • Advanced Statistics

  • 3
  This calculus-based statistics course expands upon students’ knowledge by further developing the essential concepts underlying mathematical statistics. Topics include counting methods, probability theory, random variables, expectation, variance, estimation, hypothesis testing, correlation, and regression. Students are expected to become fluent in discrete and continuous probability distributions and their applications. The Ti-83 (or higher) graphing calculator is strongly recommended. Prerequisite: MAT 204 Co-requisite: MAT 206
• • MAT 225

  • Differential Equations

  • 4
  The laws of nature are expressed in the language of differential equations. In engineering and science, students must know how to model the world in terms of differential equations, properly interpret the solutions and apply those solutions to areas of application. This course focuses on linear differential equations and their applications in science and engineering. Also, this course stresses the beauty and complexity of nature that can be comprehended in the language of differential equations. Prerequisite: MAT 204 and MAT 206.
