General Science

Modern concepts of atomic structure and chemical properties, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, chemical equilibrium and kinetics. Satisfies the general chemistry requirements for chemistry and biology majors as well as prerequisites for medical, veterinary and other health related graduate programs. Placement into MATH 151 or higher required. A drop or withdrawal in the lecture must be matched by a drop or withdrawal in the corresponding laboratory course.

Corequisite: CHEM 142     Course Offered: Every Fall

Qualitative and quantitative studies of chemical systems. Introduction to basic synthetic and instrumental chemical methods.

Required: placement into MATH 151 or higher     Corequisite: CHEM 141

This course is designed to strengthen the student’s pedagogy in mid-elementary, middle school, and practical mathematics. The course goal is to equip students to answer the question “how can I prepare myself and my students (and/or children) to be competent mathematics students?” Students will develop skills and gain the content knowledge necessary to be an effective, competent, and student-centered mathematics teacher.

Course Offered: Every Fall

A thorough preparation for calculus with analytic geometry, including conic sections, and the transcendental functions: logarithmic, exponential and trigonometric functions.

Course Offered: Every Fall, Every Spring

A theoretical introduction to differential calculus including limits, continuity, the basic rules for derivatives and applications including optimization problems. A brief introduction to integration leading to the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus completes this course.

Prerequisite: MATH 151 or equivalent.    Course Offered: Every Fall, Every Spring
