The Dolciani Mathematics Learning Center is a
laboratory type of facility, designed primarily for the utility of computer,
tutorial, and audio-visual materials in learning mathematics and statistics. At
the current time we support Math 100, 101, 104, 105, 126, 125, 150, 155,160,
250, 255, 260, Stat 113, and 213. We also work with students who need to
re-learn, or in many cases, learn for the first time, the arithmetic and algebra
skills needed to succeed in other courses at Hunter.
Pre-101: ElementaryAlgebra Workshop is a
multi-media workshop which helps students review the necessary arithmetic and
algebraic concepts necessary to be successful in MATH 101, the gateway course
for most math and stat courses.
MATH 100: Basic Structures of Mathematics meets the
college’s math/science distribution requirement in quantitative reasoning. It is
not a required course and is designed for non-math majors. The course curriculum
consists of symbolic logic , topics in probability and statistics, matrices and
other finite mathematics topics.
MATH 101: Algebra for College Students is an
introductory course for students who intend to major in a field which requires
proficiency in college algebra. The course content includes algebraic and
graphical solutions to systems of equations and inequalities ; absolute value ,
polynomial, rational and radical ex pressions and equations ; complex numbers ; the
function concept; introduction to polynomial , rational, and exponential
functions and their graphs.
MATH 104/105: Mathematics for Elementary Education I
and II are content courses in math for prospective elementary school
teachers. They cover problem solving, sets, logic, numeration systems and whole
numbers, integers, number theory, rational numbers, decimals, computation,
probability, statistics, plane and transformational geometry, congruence and
similarity.
MATH 125: Pre-Calculus is a course that covers
functions and their graphs; polynomials, rational, exponential, logarithmic and
trigonometric functions ; conic sections ; topics in trigonometry; graphical and
analytical solutions to systems of equations and inequalities.
MATH 126: Pre-Calculus Technology Laboratory is
course that introduces students to MATHEMATICA as a tool for exploring
qualitative features of functions and solving pre -calculus problems: simplifying
algebraic expressions, solving equations, plotting functions and curves , finding
and approximating zeros , and solving systems of equations.
MATH 150: Calculus with Analytic Geometry I
contains limits, continuity, differentiation and integration of elementary
functions and trigonometric functions, applications.
MATH 155: Calculus with Analytic Geometry II
contains differentiation and integration of transcendental functions,
integration techniques, infinite sequences and series, improper integrals, and
polar coordinates.
MATH 160: Matrix Algebra is a course containing
systems of linear equations , matrices, de terminants , introduction to vector
spaces and linear transformations, and applications.
MATH 250: Calculus with Analytic Geometry III
covers elementary vector geometry, dot and cross products, partial derivatives,
matrices, determinants, multiple integration and applications.
MATH 255: Vector Analysis covers line and surface
integrals, Green’s Theorem, divergence theorem, Stoke’s Theorem, and generalized
coordinates.
MATH 260: Linear Algebra is a course covering
vector spaces, linear transformations, cononical forms, inner product spaces ,
bilinear forms, applications.
