Currently Teaching

NMTH-110
3 Credits
Improves students' fundamental understanding of and skills in mathematics. Concepts covered include fractions, decimals, percents and ratios. Students are introduced to signed numbers, variables, algebraic expressions and equations, simple geometric formulas, and graphing. Instruction emphasizes the use of English and ASL as they relate to basic mathematical operations.
NMTH-140
3 Credits
This project-based course is intended for students interested in the exploration of mathematical thinking and procedures. It includes applications to real world situations and uses problem solving skills. Topics include number sense, consumer mathematics, introduction to statistics, basic geometry, and units of measurement including conversion in English and metric systems.
NMTH-212
3 Credits
An intermediate algebra course consisting of a blended lecture/lab component in which non-linear functions and graphs, systems of linear equations, exponents, polynomials, roots, radicals and properties of the complex numbers are considered. There is significant emphasis on scientific and geometric models, as well as the use of graphing utilities. Students cannot earn credit for both NMTH-210 and NMTH-212.
NMTH-275
3 Credits
Topics from precalculus mathematics are studied with an emphasis on functions and graphs. Topics include the algebra of functions and the study of inverse functions. Rational, exponential, logarithmic and piecewise-defined functions are among those studied. Students, who earn credit for NMTH-275, cannot take NMTH-260 or NMTH-272.
