Course Descriptions:

Math for Liberal Arts Students

This course is intended as an invitation to anyone who, while not interested in developing a technical facility in calculation, is interested in gaining an appreciation of the methods and scope of mathematics. The emphasis will be on topics not usually covered in a general algebra - trigonometry sequence. The approach will be conceptual, rather than computational.

Precalculus

The purpose of the course is to broaden and strengthen the student's high school mathematics background and to prepare for the study of calculus. Topics will include algebra and functions including exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions.

Instructor requirements include:

• M.A. or M.S. degree in Mathematics
