Calculus I

Studies the development of differential calculus, starting with limits, continuity, and the definition of derivative. Emphasizes differentiation techniques and their applications.

Calculus II

Integration theory and techniques with applications in science and engineering.

Calculus III

Studies sequences and series, including convergence tests and Taylor polynomials and series, as well as the calculus of curves in the plane and space described in polar, parametric, or vector-valued form.

Multivariable Calculus [IV]

Introduction to the concepts and computation techniques of multivariable calculus, including partial derivative, the chain rule, double and triple integrals, vector fields, line integrals, surface integrals, Green's Theorem, Stokes' Theorem, and the Divergence Theorem.

Matrix Algebra

Introduces linear algebra, including systems of linear equations, Gaussian elimination, matrices and matrix algebra, vector spaces, subspaces of Euclidean space, linear independence, bases and dimension, orthogonality, eigenvectors, and eigenvalues. Applications include data fitting and the method of least squares.

Foundations of Modern Mathematics

Introduces students to mathematical argument and to reading and writing proofs. Develops elementary set theory, examples of relations, functions and operations on functions, the principle of induction, counting techniques, elementary number theory, and combinatorics. Places strong emphasis on methods and practice of problem solving.

Probability and Statistics for Engineering

Covers concepts of probability and statistics; conditional probability, independence, random variable, and distribution functions; descriptive statistics, transformations, sampling errors, confidence intervals, least squares, and maximum likelihood; and exploratory data analysis and interactive computing.

Introduction to Professional Mathematics
