Quantitative Literacy Course Description
This course covers the basic mathematical and technological tools used to analyze quantitative information with an emphasis on life-skills applications and analysis of current events. Topics include the interpretation of data, computation and estimation, logical reasoning, visual representation of data, statistical reasoning, basic probability, and financial concepts. Throughout the course, quantitative literacy skills will be used to interpret topics such as current events, public policy issues, news reports, personal financial and life-style decisions, and health care issues. Prerequisite: Student has met the college's Mathematics Proficiency Entrance Requirement.
Calculus IV Course Objectives:
- To investigate the theory of vectors and the calculus of vector-valued functions.
- To study the calculus of functions of several variables.
- To become proficient in using the computer (Maple) as a mathematical tool for exploring vector-valued functions and functions of several variables.
This is one of capstone courses for the mathematics major, and as such there are numerous unique features that you won’t see for example in Numerical Analysis or Calculus II. This is a seminar-type course so to a certain extent the content will be driven by the interests of the students. Students will take turns developing and giving classroom presentations and leading discussions on chapters from the reading assignments. As appropriate, problems based on the mathematics being studied will be assigned.
Each student will be required to maintain an (on-line) portfolio on Moodle of her/his work in this course, which will include responses on presentations, short assigned writings, problem solutions, and materials used for presentations.
The final project will be in two parts: 1) a research paper on a mathematical topic of your choice and 2) an oral presentation on this same topic. More information on the requirements for this will be given soon, and grading rubrics for both parts of this project are part of the syllabus.
