Course Descriptions
MATH 1005 – Introduction to College Mathematics
This course helps you master exponents, lines, factoring, radicals, rational (fractional) expressions and much more. After passing Introduction to College Mathematics, you will then be eligible to register for any introductory core QRMS course. We also offer an accelerated section of MATH 1005. Top
MATH 1012 - Quantitative Reasoning and Mathematical Skills
This course is intended for students who plan non-technical majors. The course surveys the range and the applicability of modern quantitative techniques to a variety of disciplines. Topics vary and may include finance, statistics, probability, linear and exponential modeling, unit conversion and applications of higher-level math accessible via computers. Critical thinking and mathematical and quantitative literacy are emphasized. It is assumed that students who take this course have a high-school level proficiency in mathematics (have completed geometry and a year of algebra). Top
MATH 1011 - College Algebra
An introductory course in college mathematics that meets the College of Arts and Sciences core requirement for quantitative reasoning. This section is a terminal course in mathematics. It will help students prepare for the math they need in science core courses. It is assumed that students who take this course have knowledge of basic algebra concepts--i.e., those gained through at least 3 years of high school mathematics (Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2) or the equivalent. Topics include lines, functions and graphs, inverse functions, theory and manipulation of logarithms and exponents. Top
MATH 1011 - Calculus-Bound College Algebra
For students who want to prepare for college calculus courses. This course also meets the Arts and Sciences core requirement, but the college algebra material is covered on a more sophisticated level. It is assumed that students in these sections possess good basic algebra skills. The topics covered are similar to college algebra, but examples and applications are chosen to prepare students for calculus. Emphasis is on functions, with an introduction to limits. Trigonometry is not covered in this course. Therefore, it is recommended that a student take trigonometry after college algebra and before any calculus course. ARSC 1710 is a required co-requisite. Top
MATH 1021 - Numerical and Analytical College Trigonometry
This course is an important prerequisite for Calculus; College Algebra is a prerequisite. Trigonometry meets two of the three credits for the College of Arts and Science core requirement for quantitative reasoning. Topics include trigonometric functions and their applications, identities, solutions of triangles, circular functions, trigonometric equations, inverse trigonometric functions, and laws of sines and cosines, when time allows.

MATH 1300 – Analytic Geometry and Calculus I
The SASC sections of Calculus I provide a workshop version of Math 1300. Lecture and lab will be similar to sections of Math 1300 provided in the Math Department. However, students will have the opportunity to actively participate through extensive discussion and cooperative learning exercises. Topics include limits, derivatives of algebraic and trigonometric functions, applications of the derivative, integration, and applications of the definite integral. Students who take this course must have completed pre-calculus or college algebra and trigonometry and should have at least a B+ average. ARSC 1720 is a required co-requisite. Top
ARSC 1710 – Calculus Bridge Course
This one-credit seminar provides motivated pre-calculus students with more in-depth and more challenging coverage of material assumed in Calculus. Students will complete advanced problems that cannot be covered in pre-calculus courses due to time constraints. Mastery of material is emphasized. This course is a recommended co-requisite with Math 1001 – Calculus-Bound College Algebra 2. Top
ARSC 1720 – Calculus 1 Co-Seminar and Business Calculus Co-Seminar
This one-credit seminar provides motivated calculus students with more in-depth and more challenging coverage of material assumed in calculus. Students will complete advanced problems that cannot be covered in calculus courses due to time constraints. Mastery of material is emphasized. Students will work in groups to solve theoretical and applied problems and group projects. A SASC section of Math 1300 or a regular section of MATH 1081 is a co-requisite. Top
ARSC 1440 – Calculus 2 and Business Statistics Co-Seminars
These 1 credit-hour seminars are offered as a co-requisite for Math 2300, Math 2400 and BCOR 1020. They are interactive seminars designed for students who plan to improve their success in Calculus and Statistics. Top
