Course Descriptions

This course covers techniques for working with data, including getting and cleaning data, exploratory data analysis, data visualization, and statistical modeling and prediction. Students will learn how to ask good questions, apply data to practical problems, and communicate data analytic results. Statistical computing is integrated into the course. This course carries SUNY General Education Mathematics (and Quantitative Reasoning) credit.Prerequisite: Placement into Math Level 3 Placement or Take MAT 145 with

This is the first of a two-course sequence designed for prospective elementary school teachers. The course presentation is informed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Process Standards, emphasizing problem solving, communication, reasoning and proof, representation, and mathematical connections. Students will explore mathematical concepts and theories underlying the topics which include: set theory; the history of numeration and different number systems, including other base numeration systems; operations on whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, and irrational numbers; and elementary number theory.

This statistics course is designed for an experienced mathematics student. It is a one semester course covering descriptive and inferential statistics. Topics included are measures of center; measures of dispersion; hypothesis testing; estimations for population means, proportions, and variance; determination of sample size; uses of the Chi-square distribution; analysis of variance; linear correlation and linear regression; and statistical research. The course will emphasize computer or calculator use (graphing calculator, Minitab, Excel, StatCrunch, etc.) to obtain results.

This course introduces students to ideas and techniques from mathematics that are widely used in computer science. Topics include the fundamentals of logic (propositional and predicate calculus), set theory, relations, recursive structures, and combinatorics. This course will increase students' mathematical sophistication and ability to handle abstract problems. This course carries SUNY General Education Mathematics (and Quantitative Reasoning) credit.Prerequisite: Take MAT-271; with a Minimum Grade of C-

This course covers new topics in the field of mathematics or topics of interest that are not included, or only introduced in another mathematics course. The topics are then beyond the scope of standard MAT courses and are of interest to faculty and students. Some topics may include history of mathematics, advanced linear algebra, advanced statistics, game theory, graph theory or introduction to real analysis. This course can be taken more than once, as long as the content changes. Pre-requisites will vary depending on the topic. Students should consult with a member of the Mathematics department before enrolling.
