This course covers those mathematical topics considered as essential elements for teachers of elementary school mathematics. Development of mathematics concepts through the process of doing mathematics will create a foundation for mathematical understanding. Numerous problem-based activities are interwoven with a discussion of mathematical content to produce a course used to engage students in mathematics exploration. Prerequisite: Completion of MATH 1304 with a C or better. It will not count as an elective for mathematics majors or as a CORE mathematics course. This course serves as a prerequisite for MATH 2375. (Fall)
This course develops concepts through the process of active involvement and creates a foundation for mathematical and scientific understanding. Manipulative and science instructional kits provide the basis for developing the pedagogy of elementary pre-service teachers. Student error patterns are interwoven with a discussion of mathematics and science pedagogy to produce a course used to engage students in high quality mathematics and science instruction. Instructional and assessment strategies are chosen for the optimal preparation of teachers of elementary school mathematics and science. Prerequisites: Completion of MATH 1304, MATH 2374, and PYSC 2374 with a C or better. It will not count as an elective for mathematics majors or as a CORE mathematics course. (Spring)
This course covers vectors, differential calculus of functions of several variables, multiple integrals, and applications. Prerequisite: MATH 2313 with a C or better or permission of the instructor. (Fall)
This course is a rigorous development of ideas prerequisite to the study of abstract mathematics with emphasis on proving theorems involving logic, set theory, relations and functions. Prerequisite: 9 semester hours in mathematics or permission of instructor. This course may serve as a prerequisite for MATH 2235 and MATH 4341. (Fall)
This course introduces groups, rings, and fields. Algebraic ideas are developed in parallel with the considerations of congruence and congruence classes, which normally arise in elementary number theory.
