Please note: the courses offered below will be taught in person, unless otherwise specified as an online course.

MATH-1110 FINITE MATHEMATICS

This course introduces students to finite mathematical techniques and to mathematical models in business, life and the social sciences. The course begins with an introduction to mathematical models, types of models, and conversion of verbal models to mathematical models. Topics covered include systems of linear equations and matrices, linear inequalities and linear programming, sets, counting and probability.

PREREQUISITE: Grade XII academic Mathematics

Section 1: M/W/F 8:30 AM - 9:20 AM

Section 2: M/W/F 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM

MATH-1120 CALCULUS FOR THE MANAGERIAL, SOCIAL AND LIFE SCIENCES

This course provides an introduction to calculus for students in the managerial, social and life sciences. The main emphasis of the course is the development of techniques of differentiation and integration of algebraic, exponential and logarithmic functions. Applications of derivatives and integrals are also discussed.

Section 2: M/W/F 1:30 PM - 2:20 PM

MATH-1910 SINGLE VARIABLE CALCULUS I

This course is an introduction to differential and integral calculus of functions of a single variable. The course is intended primarily for majors in the Mathematical and Computational Sciences, Engineering and the Physical Sciences, as well as those planning to continue with further Mathematics courses. The concepts of limits, continuity and derivatives are introduced and explored numerically, graphically and analytically. The tools of differential calculus are applied to problems in: related rates; velocity and acceleration; extrema of functions; optimization; curve sketching; and indeterminate forms. The concepts of definite and indefinite integrals are introduced, and the relation between the two integrals is discovered via the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

PREREQUISITE: Grade XII academic Mathematics

Four lecture hours per week

Section 4: M/W 8:30 AM - 9:45 AM & Th 1:00 PM - 1:50 PM

Semester hours of credit: 4

STAT-1210 INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS

The main objective of this course is to introduce the basic concepts of descriptive statistics, statistical inference, and the use of statistical software such as MINITAB to students in any discipline. More time is spent on statistical inference than on descriptive statistics. Topics include frequency distributions, descriptive statistics, rules of probability, discrete and continuous probability distributions, random sampling and sampling distributions, confidence intervals, one- and two-tail tests of hypotheses, and correlation and linear regression.

PREREQUISITE: Grade XII academic Mathematics.
