Session I  (Please Check Specific Dates)

MATH 101 - Reasoning with Data: Elementary Applied Statistics

Alex Diesl, Assistant Professor of Mathematics

Please note this is a 6-week course beginning June 3 and ending July 12

An introduction to the fundamental ideas and methods of statistics for analyzing data. Topics include descriptive statistics, basic probability, inference and hypothesis testing. Emphasis on understanding the use and misuse of statistics in a variety of fields, including medicine and both the physical and social sciences. This course is intended to be accessible to those students who have not yet had calculus.

Prerequisite: Fulfillment of the basic skills component of the Quantitative Reasoning requirement. Not open to students who have completed MATH 205, except by permission of the instructor; such students should consider taking MATH 220 instead

Time: M, T, W, Th (10am-12pm)
Location: Science Center 264

Credit: 1.0 unit (4 sem. hrs.)

Tuition: $2,300

Registration Fee: $50 (non-refundable)

Session I  (June 3 - June 28)

MATH 115 - Calculus I

Ismar Volic, Associate Professor of Mathematics

Introduction to differential and integral calculus for functions of one variable. The heart of calculus is the study of rates of change. Differential calculus concerns the process of finding the rate at which a quantity is changing (the derivative). Integral calculus reverses this process. Information is given about the derivative, and the process of integration finds the “integral,” which measures accumulated change. This course aims to develop a thorough understanding of the concepts of differentiation and integration, and covers techniques and applications of differentiation and integration of algebraic, trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions. MATH 115 is an introductory course designed for students who have not seen calculus before.

Prerequisite: Fulfillment of the basic skills component of the Quantitative Reasoning requirement.

Session II  (July 1 - July 26)

MATH 116 - Calculus II

Andrew Schultz, Assistant Professor of Mathematics

The course begins with applications and techniques of integration. It probes notions of limit and convergence and adds techniques for finding limits. Half of the course covers infinite sequences and series, where the basic question is: What meaning can we attach to a sum with infinitely many terms and why might we care? The course can help students improve their ability to reason abstractly and also teaches important computational techniques. Topics include integration techniques, l'Hôpital's rule, improper integrals, geometric and other applications of integration, theoretical basis of limits and continuity, infinite series, power series, and Taylor series. MATH 116 is the appropriate first course for many students who have had AB calculus in high school.
