AMAT 101 Algebra and Calculus I

An integrated approach to pre-calculus and calculus. Elements of algebra and analytic geometry necessary to study calculus of one variable. Functions, limits, continuity, differentiation of algebraic functions, applications of differentiation. May not be taken for credit by students with credit for A Mat 100, 106, 112 or 118.

 

AMAT 106 Survey of Calculus

An intuitive approach to differentiation and integration of algebraic and transcendental functions, intended only for students who plan to take no more calculus. Does not yield credit toward the major or minor in mathematics.

 

AMAT 108 Elementary Statistics

Frequency distributions, measures of central tendency and dispersion, probability and sampling, estimation, testing of hypotheses, linear regression and correlation.

 

AMAT 112 Calculus I

Calculus of one variable. Limits, continuity, differentiation of algebraic functions, applications of differentiation, anti-derivatives, the definite integral, transcendental functions.

 

AMAT 113 Calculus II (*prerequisite AMAT 112/118H or Placement) Techniques of integration, applications of the definite integral, conics, polar coordinates, improper integrals, infinite series.
AMAT 118H Honors Calculus I Honors version of first semester calculus. Same topics as A Mat 112, but topics are covered in greater depth. This course is for students with more than average ability and more than average interest in mathematics. Presidential Scholars with a strong interest in mathematics or the physical sciences should consider taking A Mat 118 instead of A Mat 112.
 
AMAT 119H Honors Calculus II (*prerequisite AMAT 112/118H or Placement) Honors version of second semester calculus. Same topics as A Mat 113, but topics are covered in greater depth. This course is for students with more than average ability and more than average interest in mathematics. Presidential Scholars with a strong interest in mathematics or the physical sciences should consider taking A Mat 119 instead of A Mat 113.
 

APHI 210 Introduction to Logic

Introduction to classical and modern logic with an emphasis on the theory and application of truth functions. Introduction to quantification; discussion of the structure and properties of formal systems of logic. Students should be prepared to do daily homework assignments.
