The Junior Seminar in Economics is designed to prepare the student for Senior Seminar in Economics and Senior Project. In the course students gain command of the writing and research methods characteristic of contemporary economics and their incorporation in written and oral reports in economics.
The Senior Seminar in Economics is a review of economic analysis with attention to the mathematical concepts and writing in Economics. In the course students improve their command of the research methods characteristic of contemporary economics and their incorporation in the preparation of oral and written reports in economics.
The Senior Project is open only to students majoring in Economics. Students prepare and present a senior project. The topic for the senior project must be selected during the first semester of the senior year and must be approved by the department chair.
This course is an administrative placeholder used to record a student’s score on Comprehensive Exams (CR/NCR).
The course examines sets and operations on sets, numbers systems, algebraic expressions, exponents, solutions to equations, inequalities, and graphing. (Not open to students who have credit for a Level IV mathematics course or its equivalent, or to students with a Level III or Level IV mathematics placement score.)
This course provide foundational and supportive mathematics instruction for college students. Emphasis is placed upon conceptual understanding of mathematics with corresponding computational skill development.
This course examines functions, including linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. (Not open to students who have credit for a Level IV mathematics course or its equivalent, or to students with a Level IV mathematics placement score.)
This course introduces the student to the use of the computer program Mathematica. Students majoring in mathematics are expected to take this course in their first year so that Mathematica may be employed in all subsequent courses.
This course examines the connections between mathematics and other liberal arts disciplines. Topics for discussion include mathematics in language, philosophy, art of symmetry, perspective, mathematics in movies and literature, daily applications of mathematics, the application of statistics, and practical uses of geometry.
