The Euclidean algorithm; prime and composite integers, elementary Diophantine equations, Pythagorean triples, Euler’s phi-function, congruences, Euler-Fermat theorems, exponents and primitive roots, quadratic residues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A survey of the development of mathematics from the time of the ancients to the present, analysis of causes for the retardation of the advancement of mathematics in different centuries, contributions by under represented cultures and selected reading to show the contributions of mathematics to the development of science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Various methodologies for teaching middle and secondary mathematics will be introduced and used in the course. The emphasis will be on using techniques and ideas suggested in the NCTM standards and South Carolina Frameworks. Ideas on how to supplement textbook material and how to motivate students will be presented. 糖心VLOGs in the course will have the opportunity to practice the techniques presented. Note: All undergraduate mathematics prerequisites must be completed before taking this course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This course will introduce new technological developments and explore ways to use calculators, computers, etc. in the teaching of mathematics.
Note: May be substituted for MATH 618.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A reexamination of elementary geometry from an advanced standpoint. Metric and synthetic approaches to plane and solid geometry, topics in non-Euclidean geometry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A linear algebra course that emphasizes the geometry of vectors in two-and three dimensions. Topics include linear transformations, bases, orthogonality, matrix algebra, and applications in the real world as well as applications in mathematics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An introduction to the terminology, concepts, and methods of modern Abstract Algebra. Topics discussed include groups, rings, integral domains, fields, and isomorphism. Examples drawn from familiar number systems are used to illustrate elementary properties of the systems discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Topics will include probability, random variables, important probability distributions, sampling distributions, point and interval estimation, hypothesis testing, regression, correlation, and analysis of variance. Emphasis will be given to applications in the fields of biology, business, agriculture, political science, and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Discrete mathematical topics are introduced and used in various applications. Included are counting techniques, combinatorics, graph theory, and recurrence relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The course is designed to strengthen the content knowledge needed to use mathematical modeling as an effective tool in problem solving. Topics include models which require use of some or all of the following: difference equations, curve fitting, graphing, spreadsheets, geometry, matrices, calculus, maximization and minimization, and simulation using random numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
