This course is intended for future elementary teachers and explores mathematical knowledge, communication, and student thinking. Content includes number theory, number systems, operations with numbers, integers, and algebra. There will be an underlying theme of mathematical communication, problem solving, and justification.  (Does not fulfill the core requirement.)

The second half of the sequence of mathematics courses for future elementary teachers includes data analysis and visualization, statistics, measures of center, fraction representations, fraction operations and geometry, with underlying themes of problem solving, math modeling, justification, and mathematics as a representational tool for social justice.  (Does not fulfill the core requirement.)

The ideas necessary for the study of calculus, including modeling and representing exponential, logarithmic, rational, and trigonometric functional relationships. Precalculus seeks develop a productive mathematical disposition, including persistence in problem-solving, evaluating the reasoning of others, and formulating mathematical justifications. Targeted toward students continuing to MTH 201. (Does not fulfill the core requirement.)

Introduction to differential and integral calculus with emphasis on applications to business and economics.

Matrices, systems of linear equations, linear programming. Sets and counting, probability.

Students will be able to understand, process, and interpret statistical information arising in everyday life using real world examples and case studies from a variety of disciplines. Critical thinking and quantitative decision-making skills will be taught. This course focuses on being a consumer of statistics, interpreting research studies, and learning how statistics are used in the real world.

Elementary statistical calculations and statistical thinking. Examples will be chosen from various disciplines. Topics include sampling, normal distribution, central limit theorem, hypothesis testing, and simple regressions.
