MATH 101 - CALCULUS II

A sequel to Math 100 for students who wish to major
in sciences, mathematics, or engineering. The course
includes: the definite integral and its applications to
volume, arc length, and surface area of revolution;
techniques of integration; improper integrals;
parametric equations and polar coordinates;

linear first order differential equations; infinite
series; convergence and power series; and Taylor
Polynomials.

Prerequisites: MATH 100 or equivalent with a grade of
“C” or higher.

MATH 221 - INTRODUCTORY
LINEAR ALGEBRA

provides an introduction to linear algebra and vector
spaces. Topics covered in the course include the
solution of systems of linear equations through
Gaussian elimination; matrices and matrix algebra;
vector spaces and their subspaces; coordinate
mappings and other linear transformations;
construction of Gram-Schmidt bases and least-square
approximations. Although the course devotes

a substantial amount of time to computational
techniques, it should also lead the student to develop
geometrical intuitions, to appreciate and understand
mathematical abstraction and to construct some
elementary proofs.

Prerequisites: MATH 100 with a grade of “C” or higher.

PHYS 104 - FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS |

A calculus based overview of the fundamentals of
classical mechanics. This course is suitable for those
interested in further study in the physical sciences
and in engineering. Classical mechanics describes
the physical phenomena occurring in the real world
around us. We study linear and rotational motion of
objects, and then consider how forces cause motion,
using Newton’s laws. We next use conservation of
energy and conservation of momentum to describe
the motion of objects. Finally we investigate heat
transfer and simple harmonic motion. These

topics form a basis for future physical science and
engineering courses.

Prerequisites: PHYS 12 or PHYS 62/63 with a minimum
grade of “C”. Corequisites: MATH 100.

PHYS 105 - FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS II

A calculus-based survey of waves, sound, optics,
electricity and magnetism. This course is designed
for students interested in further study in Physical
Science and Engineering.

Prerequisites: PHYS 104 and MATH 100 with a grade
of “C” or higher. Corequisites: MATH 107.

STAT 206 - STATISTICS

This course provides an introduction to statistical
methods intended for students of Engineering or
the Sciences. Descriptive statistics, probability

and inferential statistics are covered at a level
appropriate for students with some calculus
background. The students will learn to calculate
confidence intervals and perform hypothesis testing
for experiments involving one and two samples.
Linear regression and correlation may be introduced
if time permits.

Prerequisites: Math 100 or Math 140 or an equivalent
calculus course that introduces integral calculus.
