MATH 105-001 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 306-002 LINEAR ALGEBRA Basic concepts of linear algebra: linear equations and matrices, vector spaces and subspaces, similar matrices, basis and dimension, linear transformations, eigenvalues, determinants, orthogonality, coordinate systems, and applications to geometry. Prerequisite: MATH 202. Four hours per week.
MATH 385-001 DIRECTED STUDY For students who desire to pursue a special topic in mathematics not covered in the current curriculum. Under most circumstances students will take this course for three credit hours. This course may be repeated under different subtitles but only a total of four credit hours from MATH 385 and/or COSC 385 may be used toward a major or minor. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor and chair of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. One to four hours per week.
