MA111 - College Algebra and Statistics with Business Applications
Prerequisites: High School Regents mathematics or MA099.
This course provides students foundations in algebra and statistics as preparation for the demands of quantitative reasoning in the field of business. Topics on algebra include: function, linear, quadratic, radicals, exponential, logarithmic, and inverse functions. Topics on statistics include: measures of central tendency, measures of variations, and measures of positions, counting principles, probability, expected value and regressions. Applications to business and finance problems are a focus.
Credits: 3
MA112 - College Algebra with Trigonometry
Prerequisite: MA099, two years of high school level mathematics under the Regents curriculum, or an algebra course
Students are advised to earn a minimum grade of “B” in the prerequisite mathematics course.
This pre-calculus course is designed to develop mathematics and skills so that students are adequately prepared for calculus and other College-level science courses. Algebra topics covered include: radicals, quadratic functions, logarithmic, exponential and their inverse functions, and systems of linear equations. Trigonometry topics include right triangle trigonometry, trigonometric ratios and identities. Graphing is emphasized in both algebra and trigonometry topics.
Credits: 4
MA120 - Statistics I
Prerequisite: high school Regents mathematics
An introduction to Statistics with modern applications to Sociology, Business, Economics, Ecology, Health Science and Psychology. Topics include descriptive statistics, central tendency, percentile rank, Z-Scores, probability, probability distribution, correlation and regression analysis.
Credits: 3
MA130 - Calculus I
Prerequisite: MA110 or permission from Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs
This is a study of differential and integral calculus with analytic geometry. Various types of functions with their derivatives, applications including curve plotting, maxima and minima problems and related rates. Integration problems, including the area between two curves and the trapezoidal rule.
Credits: 4
MA200 - Statistical Methods
Prerequisites: College algebra
This introductory statistics course focuses on several topics: population and samples; data organization and representation; measure of central tendency, variation, and position; basic probability and probability distribution; normal distribution; confidence interval; hypothesis testing of one population: z-test and t-test; type I and type II errors; linear regression; and non-parametric statistics. Statistics applications are drawn from several disciplines such as sociology, business economics ecology, health science, and psychology. This course uses a graphing calculator and computer statistical software.
Credits: 3
MA220 - Statistics II
