MATH-11600 Win Lose or Draw

Why do people play games? Whatever the reason, games are a big piece of life. The world has played games for a long, long time - every time period, every culture. Students in this course will study games and gaming in our culture as well as those in other cultures. To better understand games, the students will study probability theory and its application to gaming. Applications include casino games, lotteries, racing, wagering systems, as well as other games. Some analytical tools that will arise during the course are counting methods, expected values, combinatorics, probability, statistics, tress, gambler's ruin, and distributions.

MATH-11700 Storytelling with Data

This data analytics course is presented in the service of a project which will offer students an intensive hands-on experience in the quantitative research process. Students will develop skills in generating testable hypotheses, understanding large data sets, formatting and managing data, conducting descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, and presenting results for expert and novice audiences. This course is designed for students who are interested in developing skills that are useful for working with data and using statistical tools to analyze them. No prior experience with data or statistics is required.

MATH-11900 College Algebra

This course provides a preparation for further study in mathematics and related fields in which fluent skills in algebra are necessary for successful use of mathematical analysis. Topics include simplifying algebraic, rational, radical, exponential, and logarithmic expressions; solving quadratic, rational, radical, exponential, logarithmic, and absolute value equations; solving compound and absolute value inequalities, and graphing functions.

MATH-12300 Modeling our World with Mathematics

This course will provide students with an overview of how mathematics can be used to model behavior and phenomena in a variety of fields including the natural sciences, social sciences, and business. It introduces students to the basics of mathematical modeling and the importance of how the modeling process can be used to draw conclusions and make predictions about systems. Some examples discussed will include how to model the spread of infectious disease, the dynamics of predators and prey, gerrymandering, and the spread of information on social media. This course will also discuss how to use mathematical modeling and their results to make decisions and advocate change. Additionally, students will learn how to use computer software at an introductory level to develop and simulate models.
