Mathematics AA

Purpose

The Mathematics program is designed to meet the transfer requirements of four-year colleges and universities for the many disciplines that require a strong mathematics background. These disciplines include: Computer and Information science; Business and Economics; Science and Engineering; Statistics, Actuarial Science and Operations Research; Mathematics and Education; Medicine and Law.

Program Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the program, the graduate will be able to:

  • differentiate algebraic and trigonometric functions.
  • integrate exponential, logarithmic, inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions.
  • differentiate vector valued functions.
  • use mathematical modeling.
  • find a matrix P that will orthogonally diagonalize a symmetric matrix A (MAT 220); or 
  • solve a nonhomogeneous linear differential equation by the method of parameters (MAT 223).
