This course will provide the basic mathematical toolkit needed for students who do not wish to pursue calculus but still need to be exposed to the mathematical concepts and techniques that are required to study elementary statistics and mathematical models in the social sciences. Emphasis will be placed on the understanding of important concepts and on developing analytical skills rather than just on computational skills, the use of algorithms, and the manipulation of formulae.
Available for First-Year and Second Year Students who have taken the Math Placement Assessment and met the minimum requirements.

A fundamental understanding of mathematical functions is critical before engaging in the rigors of calculus. This course examines single variable functions, including their algebraic and geometric properties. By necessity, the course begins with an exploration of the following question: What is a function, and how can it be represented geometrically as a graph? The course delves into standard function manipulations and examines a range of mathematical functions, including polynomial, trigonometric, and exponential functions. The course further provides an in-depth study of trigonometric functions, trigonometric equations and trigonometric identities, including double angle and half angle formulae and their application. In addition, there is an introduction to the polar coordinates system and vectors in two and three dimensions. Basic sequences are also studied. By the end of the course, students will have a solid preparation for calculus, from the algebraic, geometric and analytic point of view.

This course presents the basic principles of calculus by examining functions and their derivatives and integrals with a special emphasis placed on the utilitarian nature of the subject material. Since the derivative measures the instantaneous rate of change of a function and the definite integral measures the total accumulation of a function over an interval, these two ideas form the basis for nearly all mathematical formulas in science, engineering, economics, and other fields. This course also provides instruction in how to model situations in order to solve problems. Applications include graphing, and maximizing and minimizing functions. In addition to two weekly lectures, students attend a weekly recitation focused on applications. Placement into Calculus with Applications is decided by discussion with mentors and the results of a mathematics placement examination. This course focuses on the needs of students in science and engineering.

Ordinary differential equations arise in virtually all fields of applied mathematics. Newton's equations of motion, the rate equations of chemical reactions, the currents flowing in electric circuits, all can be expressed as ordinary differential equations. The solutions of these equations usually evolve a combination of analytic and numerical methods. The course studies first- and second-order equations, solutions using infinite series, Laplace transforms, linear systems, numerical methods.

Real Analysis builds a more rigorous foundation for calculus and prepares the way for more advanced courses. The emphasis is on the careful formulation of the concepts of calculus, and the formulation and proof of key theorems. The goal is to understand the need for and the nature of a mathematical proof. The course studies the real number system, the convergence of sequences and series, functions of one real variable, continuity, connectedness, compactness, and metric spaces.
