 College Catalog Addenda

This 2004-2006 Bridgewater State College Catalog Web Addenda contains the most up-to-date information. Information in this Catalog Web Addenda supersedes the published version of this catalog.

Only changes made to program requirements, courses or academic policies are outlined here. This Web Addenda should be used in conjunction with the 2004-2006 print or Online Catalog.

MATHEMATICS (MATC, MATH)

MATH 518 Topics in Analysis

  • Change in prerequisite to: MATH 202 and MATH 252
  • Change in course description to:
    The course consists of a detailed discussion of limits, continuity, and applications of the differential and integral calculus, and the real number system. Group and/or individual projects will be required as part of the course. This course is designed to provide graduate level mathematics education students with an introduction to analysis, appropriate to the needs of secondary school mathematics teachers.

MATH 551 Topics in Finite Mathematics (3 credits) (New)

Prerequisite: Consent of department
This course is designed for teachers of mathematics, and will extend and enrich the topics of finite mathematics. Possible topics include: sets, logic, probability, statistics, combinatorics, and graph theory.

MATH 552 Topics in Analytic Geometry (3 credits) (New)

Prerequisite: Consent of department
Properties, definitions and applications of conic sections will be studied. Vectors, polar coordinates and calculus will be used to enhance the presentation and to develop formulas for tangent lines, areas and volumes. Translation and rotation of axes and invariants under translation will be covered. Quadric surfaces and their graphs along with homogeneous coordinated will be discussed.

MATH 562 Topics in Geometry (3 credits) (New)

Prerequisite: Consent of department
This course employs classical and modern tools to explore topics that extend and enrich the standard high school geometry curriculum. Possible topics include transformations, tessellations, non-Euclidean geometrics and fractals.

MATH 582 Topics in Problem Solving Using Technology (3 credits) (New)

Prerequisite: Consent of department
This course will include an in-depth study of problem solving techniques in mathematics using technology. Application problems will include topics from physical and social sciences.

All changes are effective Fall 2005 unless otherwise noted.
