MATH 110-Fundamental Concepts of
Mathematics I (4)
• Gen Ed Math
Prerequisite or Co-requisite: MATH 67 or appropriate
score on mathematics placement test
(formerly MA 105)
Note: MATH 110 is designed and recommended for
Education majors in the Early Childhood Education
and Elementary Education A.A.T. degrees only.
Provides a comprehensive, conceptually-based
background in elementary mathematics. Topics
include historical development of numeration
systems, decimal notation, arithmetic algorithms in
decimal and other bases, elementary set theory and
number theory. Intended for early childhood and
elementary education students, or other non-STEM
majors, who need a general course in problem-
solving strategies, numeracy, and the real number
system.
MATH 113-Fundamental Concepts of
Mathematics II (4)
Prerequisite or Co-requisite: MATH 67 or appropriate
score on mathematics placement test. It is
recommended that students complete MATH 110
(formerly MA 105) before taking this course.
(formerly MA 106)
Presents topics including plane and solid, metric
and non-metric, dimensional analysis, congruence
and similarity, and coordinate and transformational
geometry. Emphasizes problem solving strategies.
MATH 113 is not a general education course.
Intended for early childhood education and
elementary education students who need a
conceptually-based study of the fundamentals of
geometry.
MATH 120-Statistics (3)
• Gen Ed Math
Prerequisite: Appropriate score on mathematics
placement test
(formerly MA 206)
Introduces non-calculus statistics. Topics include
descriptive analysis and treatment of data,
probability, statistical inference, linear regression and
correlation, and chi-square tests and non-parametric
tests.
