MATH 125 - BUSINESS MATHEMATICS

MATH 125: Business Mathematics is intended for first year students enrolled in the Business Administration program. It stresses the mathematics required in financial processes. The course starts with a review of basic arithmetic and algebra. With these skills

the student will solve several practical business problems. Topics include (but are not limited to) ratio and proportion, merchandising, break-even analysis, simple interest and promissory notes, compound interest and effective rates, simple and general annuities, annuities due and deferred annuities, amortization of loans and payment schedules, sinking funds and investment decision analysis.

MATH 180 - MATHEMATICS FOR TEACHERS

Math 180: Mathematics for Teachers, introduces future elementary school teachers and others to the mathematical content and principles of British Co- lumbia elementary school curriculum. In the process of taking a theoretical and historical, in-depth look at the curriculum, students will be encouraged to develop comfort and confidence with mathematics as well as the ability to communicate mathematically and solve mathematical problems.

Pre-requisites: Pre-caiculus 11, Foundations 11 or equivalent with a grade of “C” or better, or written permission of the Instructor and Schoo! Chair.

Course Credit: 4

MATH 181 - PROBLEM SOLVING

Designed to follow MATH 180, Math 181: Problem Solving introduces students to more in depth problem solving on a smaller number of topics including probability, combinatorics and statistics, modular arithmetic, geometry, sequences and series, fractals, coding and other topics of interest. Students will solve problems in class in smaller groups and out

of class individually. Students will develop problem solving ability as well as oral and written presenta- tion skills. While intended for all non-science majors, this course is designed to be especially useful for students who want to prepare to teach math at the elementary school level.

Pre-requisites: Pre-caiculus 11, Foundations 11 or

Math 11 with a grade of “B” or better; Pre-calculus 12, Foundations 12 or MATH 72 with a grade of “C” or better; MATH 780 with a grade of “C” or better; or written permission of the Instructor and Schoo! Chair.

MATH 190 - RESOURCE STATISTICS 1

Math 190 is an introductory applied statistics

course for environment and geomatics students. Topics include: types of data, descriptive statistics, probability and random variables, discrete probability distributions, continuous probability distributions, confidence intervals, sample size, and hypothesis testing.

Pre-requisites: MATH 160. Course Credit: 3

MATH 221 - INTRODUCTORY LINEAR ALGEBRA

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 elimi- nation; 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.

Pre-requisites: MATH 100 with a grade of “C” or better or written permission of the instructor and Schoo! Chair.

Course Credit: 3

MATH 291 - RESOURCE STATISTICS Il

This course is a continuation of Math 290 - Resource Statistics L. Topics include linear regressions

and correlation, inferential statistics, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, goodness of fit and contingency tables.

Pre-requisites: Math 190 Course Credit: 2

MATH 292 - RESOURCE STATISTICS III

This course is a continuation of Math 291 - Resource Statistics II. Topics include sampling techniques, experimental design and computer based application. Additional topics may include analysis of variance, non-parametric statistics or time series forecasting.

Pre-requisites: Math 291 Course Credit: 2

PEAC 100 - PEACE STUDIES |

PEAC 100: Peace Studies Lis an interdisciplinary

and values-based course that is the first of two introductory core courses in Peace Studies. Readings will include United Nations documents,

as well as essays and excerpts from the writings of philosophers, anthropologists, psychologists, and peace researchers. Students will thus gain familiarity with literature addressing a broad range of past and current theories and discourse related to peace and conflict. Through their own reflection and working collaboratively in groups, students will have the opportunity to move from theory to practice in one of the most challenging issues of humanity’s collective experience: building cultures of peace.

Pre-requisites: English 12 with a grade of “C” or better, or written permission of the instructor and Schoo! Chair.
