Currently Teaching
NMTH-110
Prealgebra
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-220
Trigonometry
3 Credits
Topics include the trigonometric ratios, radian measure, angles in a coordinate system, ratio values for special angles, trigonometric inverses, graphs of trigonometric functions, and trigonometric identities and equations
NMTH-275
Advanced Mathematics
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.
STAT-145
Introduction to Statistics I
3 Credits
This course introduces statistical methods of extracting meaning from data, and basic inferential statistics. Topics covered include data and data integrity, exploratory data analysis, data visualization, numeric summary measures, the normal distribution, sampling distributions, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing. The emphasis of the course is on statistical thinking rather than computation. Statistical software is used.
