MATH 1314 Mathematics
Transfer Coursework (CLEP, AP, DSST, TA, JST)
Objective: Present the basic concepts and methods in modern mathematics, to develop the student's ability to think critically using the axiomatic method, and to apply these ideas to other disciplines.
Students will be able to:
- Solve problems using the appropriate mathematical expertise.
- Interpret mathematical and quantitative information and draw logical interference from representations such as formulas, equations, graphs, tables, and sheets.
- Evaluate the results obtained from quantitative methods for accuracy and/ or reasonableness.
- Use appropriate technology to solve practical problems, access mathematical information, and develop mathematical insight.
- Use abstract reasoning to rigorously evaluate mathematical hypotheses, and formulate and communicate mathematical analysis and arguments.
- Students will explore probability concepts, moment generating functions, discrete and continuous distributions, bivariate distributions, distributions of functions of random variables.
