Overview of Courses

In addition to our foundational mathematics core, you will also have the flexibility to choose electives tailored your interests. Here’s a sample of what you can expect to learn and do:

  • Introduction to Linear Algebra
    This course introduces topics in matrix algebra for applications that are basic to future coursework in mathematics. Topics include vector spaces, determinants, matrices, linear transformations, and eigenvectors.
  • Calculus I
    This is a beginning course in the calculus of one variable and analytic geometry. The concept of limits and their use in differential and integral calculus, max and min values of functions, and solving for areas and volumes are treated.
  • Introduction to Differential Equations
    This course examines the fundamental methods of solving elementary differential equations. Topics include exact solutions, series solutions, numerical solutions, and solutions using Laplace transforms.
  • Calculus II
    Topics include the Mean Value Theorem and its applications, applications of the integral, transcendental functions, techniques of integration, sequences and series, and conic sections
  • Topics in Geometry
    The course includes foundations of geometry, congruences, parallelism, similarities, measures, coordinate systems, axiom systems for the Euclidean, and projective planes.
