This course provides students the opportunity to study topics of interest to mathematicians. Subject matter will vary.

A study of the essentials of high school algebra, this course prepares students for further study in mathematics.

This study of basic problem solving introduces the following topics: set theory, mathematical logic, basic counting techniques, probability, and descriptive statistics.

Terms, expressions, functions, and equations; factoring expressions; solving linear equations; solving quadratic equations; using factoring to solve equations; solving exponential and logarithmic equations, graphing functions, absolute value, and applications.

This course provides an analysis of the real number system, functions, graphing, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions and topics in analytic geometry.

This course is designed to meet the needs of teachers in the elementary school. Topics include the algebra of matrices, mathematical systems, modular arithmetic, axiomatic systems, systems of numeration, and the nature of proof.

Provides a foundation in algebra and number concepts appropriate for elementary and middle school teachers. Topics include numeration systems, number theory rational numbers, and integers. Emphasis is placed on conceptual understanding, problem solving, mental arithmetic, and computational estimation. A graphing calculator is required; the model is specified by the instructor.

This course is designed to meet the needs of teachers in the elementary school. The course will explore the historical contributions of many different cultures including Egyptian, Greek, Chinese, Indian and others. The course will focus on the development of the notion of numbers and how they have been denoted as well as well as the progression of the development of geometry and algebra.

Provides a foundation in geometry and measurement concepts appropriate for elementary and middle school teachers. This course explores the fundamental ideas of planar and spatial geometry. Content includes the analysis and classification of geometric figures; the study of geometric transformations; the concepts of tessellation, symmetry, congruence, and similarity; and an overview of measurement. The course includes an introduction to the use of Geometer's Sketchpad in the teaching and learning of informal geometry. A graphing calculator is required; the model is specified by the instructor.

A series of workshops intended to enhance the study of Mathematics, Mathematics instruction, or Mathematics history.

A set of workshops that review essential mathematics skills from arithmetic, number theory, algebra, and geometry taught in the elementary schools.

This course will give prospective secondary school mathematics teachers increased proficiency in the mathematical skills and concepts they will teach at the secondary level, helping bridge the gap between the mathematics learned in college and the mathematics taught in high school. Prospective Mathematics for Secondary Education majors must earn an A or B in this course or have earned a Math ACT subscore of 25 or higher to apply for undergraduate admission to the College of Education. Required of Secondary Education/Mathematics majors.
