MTH 121 Mathematics for Early and Middle Grade Teachers I

includes such topics as an introduction to problem solving, set theory, functions, logic, numeration systems, and other number bases, and an overview of the real number system with its subsystems and related properties. Historical development and mathematical connections are stressed. The course is only for majors pursuing early and middle childhood, intervention specialist, and adolescent to young adult licensure, other than mathematics.

MTH 123 MATH/AYA Mathematics

Explores an overview of linear regressions, recursive powers, matrices, definite integrals, statistics, trigonometry and transformations using the TI Smartview CE. Explores constructions for geometry, conjectures, triangular centers, graphs and functions, transformational symmetry, iterations, sine wave tracers, ovals, and logarithmic curves using the Geometer's Sketchpad. Utilizes Fathom Statistical Software for data surveys, correlation coefficients, scatter plots, and sums of squares.
