MAT240 Calculus I
This calculus course is designed for engineering, natural sciences, computer science, and mathematics majors. Topics include limits, continuity, derivatives, integrals, the fundamental theorem, applications on curve sketching, optimization, areas and volumes, differentiation and integration (up to substitution) involving trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions.
Prerequisites: MAT0190 or MAT195 or satisfactory basic skills assessment score
Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer
MAT150 Elementary Statistics
Students are introduced to descriptive and inferential statistics focusing on conceptual understanding and statistical literacy. Topics include: techniques for organizing and presenting data, measures of central tendency and dispersion, probability, discrete and continuous probability distributions, sampling distributions, estimation, one- sample hypothesis tests, and correlation and regression. (4 contact hours)
Prerequisite: MAT035 or MAT045 and ENL108 or satisfactory basic skills assessment score
Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer
Note: Satisfies a Mathematics/Quantitative Reasoning general education requirement.
MAT195 Precalculus with Trigonometry
Targeting students in Mathematics, Engineering, and Physical Sciences, this course provides the foundation necessary for a rigorous study of calculus. It covers non-linear inequalities, functions, and graphs. The primary focus is on polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Applications are also discussed extensively. Additional topics may include analytic geometry with an emphasis on the conic sections, Gibbs notation vector algebra, polar coordinates, sequences, series, and mathematical induction. (5 contact hours)
Prerequisite: MAT175
Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer
Note: Students planning to transfer into a Biology major in the Massachusetts state system are advised to take MAT240 as required by the MassTransfer Academic Pathway for Biology.
