Course Offerings
MATH 103Q - Elementary Discrete Mathematics
- Either semester. Three credits. Not open for credit to
students who have passed any MATH course other than Math
101, 102, 105, 107, 109, 115, or 116.
- Problem solving strategies, solutions of simultaneous
linear equations, sequences, counting and probability, graph
theory, deductive reasoning, the axiomatic method and finite
geometries, number systems.
MATH 107Q - Elementary Mathematical Modeling
- Either semester. Three credits. Prerequisite: MATH 101
or passed Q Readiness Test or passed a Q course. Not open
to students who have passed any MATH course other than MATH
101, 102, 103, 105, 108. This course and MATH 109 cannot
be taken for credit. This course should not be considered
as adequate preparation for MATH 106, 112, 115, or 120.
- Use of algebraic and trigonometric functions with technology
to analyze quantitative relationships and illustrate the
role of mathematics in modern life; graphical numerical
and symbolic methods. Most sections require a graphing calculator;
some require work with a computer spreadsheet.
MATH 112Q - Introductory Calculus I
- Either semester. Four credits. Prerequisite: MATH 101
or equivalent. Students cannot receive credit for MATH 115
or 120.
- Limits, derivatives, and extreme values of algebraic functions,
with supporting algebraic topics.
MATH 113Q - Introductory Calculus 2
- Either semester. Four credits. Recommended preparation:
A grade of C- or better in MATH 112Q. Students cannot receive
credit for MATH 113 and either MATH 115 or MATH 120.
May be used in place of MATH 115 or 120 to fulfill any requirement
satisfied by MATH 115 or 120.
- Limits, deriviatives, and extreme values of trionometric
functions, with supporting trigonometric topics; anti-deriviatives
of algebraic and trigonometric functions; the definite integral
and applications.
MATH 115Q - Calculus I
- Either semester. Four credits. At least four class periods.
May be taken before MATH 116Q; may not be taken concurrently
with MATH 116Q. Not open to students who have passed MATH
112 or 120. Suitable for students with some prior calculus
experience. May be used in place of MATH 112 or 120 to fulfill
any requirement satisfied by MATH 112 or 120.
- Limits, continuity, differentiation, antidifferentiation,
definite integrals, with applications to the physical and
engineering sciences.
MATH 116Q - Calculus II
- Either semester. Four credits. At least four class periods.
Prerequisite: MATH 115 or 120, or advanced placement credit
for calculus (a score of 4 or 5 on the Calculus AB exam
or a score of 3 on the Calculus BC exam). May not be taken
concurrently with MATH 115. Not open to students who have
passed MATH 121. Substitutes for MATH 114 or 121 as a requirement.
- Transcendental functions, formal integration, polar coordinates,
infinite sequences and series, vector algebra and geometry,
with applications to the physical sciences and engineering.
Events
UConn ECE Math Workshop
Wednesday, May 14, 2008
8:30am - 12:30pm
CUE Building, room 320, UConn Storrs Campus
Please remember, certified instructors who did not attend the 2007 Math Workshop are required to attend the 2008 workshop in order to maintain certification.
Frequently Asked Questions About Instructor Certification
Q: What are the minimum requirements for instructor
certification in mathematics?
A: The minimum degree requirement for instructors wishing
to teach UConn ECE mathematics courses
is typically a Master's degree in Mathematics. In exceptional
cases, a strong Bachelor's degree with evidence that the
candidate is enrolled in a program to earn a Master's
degree may be considered. A candidate with a Master's
in Education may also be considered if coupled with a
Bachelor's degree in Mathematics. Interviews will be conducted
before certification is granted.
**The transcript must include at least one course on
the theory of calculus (i. e., Real Analysis or Theoretical
Advanced Calculus) with a grade of B or better.**
