A course designed for the general student as well as for the science student. It deals with the fundamental algebraic operations, special products and factoring, fractions, linear equations in one, two and three unknowns, graphs, exponents, radicals, quadratic equations, logarithms, and variations. Prerequisities: First course in Algebra or its equivalent. Five quarter hours. Autumn, Winter, Spring. Staff 2, Solid Geometry. A course dealing with lines, planes, dihedral and polyhedral angles, prisms, cylinders, pyramids, cones, spheres, spherical polygons, and general polyhedrons. Prerequisite: Plane Geometry. Three quarter hours. Autumn, Winter, Spring. Atkins 3. Trigonometry. A course in plane and spherical trigonometry designed primarily for mathematics, science, and engineering majors. It deals with the natural functions and their graphs, identities, functions of the sum of two angles and related formulas, logarithms, solutions of triangles, complex numbers, inverse functions, hyperbolic functions, equations, spherical triangles. Prerequisites: Second course in Algebra and plane geometry. Five quarter hours. Winter, Spring. Staff 3a. Trigonometry. A course in plane trigonometry designed for general students, some engineers, and other non-mathematics majors. It includes the natural functions, their line values and graphs, identities, functions of the sum of two angles and related formulas, logarithms, solution of triangles and inverse functions. Prerequisite: First course in algebra and plane geometry. Credit will not be given for both Mathematics 3 and 3a. Three quarter hours. Spring. Staff 99 4. College Algebra. A course for mathematics, science and engineering majors which deals with fundamental operations, quadratics, ratio and proportion, binomial theorem, progressions, mathematical induction, inequalities, complex numbers, theory of equations, logarithms, determinants, partial fraction, and selected topics. Prerequisites: Mathematics 1. Five quarter hours. Autumn, Spring. Staff 5. Analytic Geometry. A course in plane analytic geometry which, together with Mathematics 6, constitutes a more thorough and complete course in analytic geometry which is designed for those students who desire a stronger background of mathematics as a prerequisite to the calculus. This course deals with plane analytic geometry, cartesian, and polar coordinates, lines, curves and equations, conic sections, and transformation of coordinates. Prerequisites: Mathematics 3 and 4. Five quarter hours. Winter. (May not be given). Staff 6. Analytic Geometry. A continuation of Mathematics 5. It deals with plane and solid analytic geometry; polar coordinates, higher plane curves, tangents, normals, graphs, functions, empirical equations, three dimensional coordinates, surfaces and curves in space. Prerequisites: Mathematics 5 and 2 (or be taking Mathematics 2 concurrently). Five quarter hours. Spring. (May not be given). Staff 1. Calculus. A course in differential calculus designed, primarily for mathematics, science, and engineering majors. It deals with functions, limits, differentiation of algebraic and transcendental functions, applications of differentiation, parametric and polar equations, differentials, and curvature. Prerequisites: Mathematics 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 or 10. Four quarter hours. Autumn. Stevenson, Terry 8. Calculus. A continuation of Mathematics 7. It deals with differential and integral calculus; successive differentiation and applications, methods of integration of algebraic and transcendental differentials, indefinite and definite integrals, areas and the applications, formal integration and reduction formulas. Prerequisite: Mathematics 7. Four quarter hours. Winter. Stevenson, Terry 9. Calculus. A continuation of Mathematics 8. It deals with integral calculus and differential equations; multiple integrals, centroids, moments, fluid pressure, and other applications, series, expansion of functions, and ordinary differential equations. Prerequisite: Mathematics 8. Four quarter hours. Spring. Stevenson, Terry 10. Analytic Geometry. A brief course which deals with the plane and solid analytic geometry which is designed to meet the needs of mathematics, science, and engineering majors. This course is a satisfactory prerequisite to calculus. It deals with cartesian, polar coordinates, lines, conic sections, transcendental curves, rectangular, cylindrical and spherical coordinates in three dimensions; planes and quad-ric surfaces. Prerequisites: Mathematics 3, 4, and 2. (Or be taking Mathematics 2 concurrently). Five quarter hours. Winter, Spring. Staff |
