This introductory course examines the application of ordinary differential equations as mathematical models for a variety of disciplines. Students explore analytical, graphical and numerical techniques for solving ordinary differential equations and systems of ordinary differential equations. A systems approach is used with relevant linear algebra concepts developed as needed. A CAS-capable graphing calculator is required.

MTH261 Linear Algebra

Credits 4Spring

Registration Requirement: MTH252 with a grade of "C" or better.

This course is a study of vectors, matrices, systems of equations, linear transformations, determinants and eigenvectors, primarily in the setting of finite real vector spaces (though examples of other spaces are used in context). Students are introduced to formal proof writing. This course provides the linear algebra necessary for the study of multivariable calculus, differential equations and abstract algebra. A CAS-capable calculator is required (e.g. TI-nSpire CX CAS or TI-89).

MTH275 A Bridge to Upper-Division Mathematics

Credits 3Winter

Registration Requirement: MTH251 with a "C" or better; RD090 and WR090, or IECC201R.

This is a bridge course designed to help students transition from computation-based mathematics to the more proof-based curriculum typical of junior and senior collegiate-level mathematics courses. Students will construct and validate proofs, explore the nature of mathematics, and navigate some of the systems and conventions used within the mathematics community. Prerequisite MTH251.
