Mathematics

Multivariable Calculus
Mathematics

This two-term sequence re-examines the differentiation and integration processes, and investigates topics such as partial derivatives, level curves and gradients, moving frame description for space curves, the analysis of critical points, double and triple...

Linear Algebra
Mathematics

MAT640 is an introduction to the theory of linear algebra, the study of systems of linear equations and their solutions. The interplay between algebra and geometry affords powerful and quite different insights into the subject. Topics include: Gaussian...

Selected Topics in Math
Mathematics

The topics in MAT690 will be studied with an emphasis on intuition and computational facility. At the same time, one should note that commitment to pursue difficult mathematical ideas is a necessary quality for doing well. While some theorems and their proofs...

Foundations of Abstract Mathematics
Mathematics

This course constitutes a bridge between calculus and theoretical, proof-based courses such as real analysis, abstract algebra and set theory. The emphasis is on understanding and mastering increased levels of rigor, dealing with mathematical notation, and...

Transition 4 Mathematics
Mathematics

MATTR4 is a year-long course for students who have finished four years of high school mathematics. The goal of this sequence is to review and reinforce the precalculus mathematics students have previously seen, while introducing new concepts and techniques...

Transition 1 Mathematics
Mathematics

This transition option is for students with algebra experience, but little or no background in geometry. Students are placed in one of the following three courses in the fall term. MAT11T is for students who need a full year of algebra. It promotes to MAT120...

Algebra
Mathematics

These courses develop facility in working with numbers, tables, equations, inequalities and graphs. The focus is on solving word problems and reading carefully, and thus the building of algebra skills stems from the need to solve problems in a context, rather...

Integrated Mathematics
Mathematics

The 200-level courses are geometry courses tied to algebraic processes. Students investigate lines, polygons, and vectors, in both two and three dimensions. Right-triangle trigonometry is introduced, as are circles and parabolas, the latter viewed from a...

Transition 2 Mathematics
Mathematics

This transition option is for students with one or more years of algebra and one full year of geometry. Similar to the 200-level courses, these courses feature the study of geometry tied to algebra processes. Depending on their academic backgrounds, students...

Advanced Integrated Mathematics
Mathematics

The purpose of the 300-level courses is to enable students to expand their view of algebra and geometry to include nonlinear motion and nonlinear functions. The investigation encompasses circular motion and the functions that describe it, ellipses and...
