Secondary Level Mathematics Concentration

Teaches a statistical approach to decision making under uncertainty. Topics are descriptive statistics, probability distributions, inferential statistics, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, linear regression and correlation.

This course teaches the common application of calculus theories. You will investigate basic topics of differential and integral calculus with a specific emphasis on applications. You will perform differentiation and integration of algebraic and transcendental functions, apply optimization techniques, and learn to formulate and solve differential equations.

This is the second course in single-variable calculus. Students will learn techniques and applications of integration, be given further exposure to trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions, and learn the basics of infinite sequences and series.

Students will learn the concepts, techniques, and structures of discrete mathematics necessary for the software engineer, including logic, sets, functions, relations, Boolean algebra, and combinatorics. The course also introduces the concept of mathematical proof.

Students develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for mathematics by seeing how different ideas were developed in different locations over time. From ancient Egyptian geometry to Newton, Leibniz and calculus, this course allows students to see historical evidence of the different and perfectly valid ways to view mathematical concepts across cultures. In this course, students view mathematical theories in a historical context to recreate methods and connect old techniques to modern perspectives.

This is an introductory course in linear algebra. Topics include systems of linear equations, matrix algebra, determinants, eigenvalues & eigenvectors, and an introduction into the theory of vector spaces.

This course is an exploration of different types of geometries. Starting with compass and straightedge constructions, students identify and prove theorems in Euclidean geometry. By relaxing Euclid’s Parallel Postulate, students explore neutral and non-Euclidean geometries. The course concludes with a survey of finite geometries.

This course is designed to develop the topics of multivariate calculus. Emphasis is placed on multivariate functions, partial derivatives, multiple integration, solid analytical geometry, vector valued functions, and line and surface integrals. Upon completion, students should be able to select and use appropriate models and techniques for finding the solution to multivariate-related problems.
