2013 Fall

• ENGL 509-193 SEMINAR IN LANGUAGE STUDY
  A study in selected topics in language and linguistics. The course focuses in different semesters on such topics as the new English, descriptive or historical linguistics, morphology-syntax, or phonetics and phonemics, teaching standard English to speakers of other languages or to speakers of other dialects. May be repeated under different course subtitles recorded with the Registrar. Three hours per week.

• MATH 105-004 LIBERAL ARTS MATHEMATICS
  Study of the beauty and structure of mathematics, with emphasis on quantitative and analytical reasoning skills. Various areas of mathematics or its applications will be used as a vehicle for this study. Designed for students whose major area of study does not have specific requirements in mathematics. May not receive credit for more than one of MATH 105, MATH 200 and MATH 190. Prerequisites: Three years of high school mathematics including geometry or college-level intermediate algebra. Four hours per week. Meets General Education IVB or IVC (Prior to Fall 2008: IIIB or IIIC).

• MATH 210-003 INTRO TO DISCRETE MATH
  Introduction to basic techniques and modes of reasoning for discrete problem solving. Set theory, recurrence relations, counting, graphs and lattices, number theory. Prerequisites: MATH 140 or equivalent. Four hours per week. Meets General Education IVB or IVC (Prior to Fall 2008: IIIB or IIIC).

• MATH 441-001 ABSTRACT ALGEBRA I
  Introduction to the theory of groups, rings, integral domains and fields, including basic properties of polynomials. May be offered for undergraduate or graduate credit. Prerequisite: MATH 210 and/or 306 (both recommended). Three hours per week. Meets General Education IVB or IVC (Prior to Fall 2008: IIIB or IIIC).

• MATH 561-001 ABSTRACT ALGEBRA I
