Mathematics, A.S.

This course focuses on the theory and application of numerical techniques using MATLAB, reinforcing and building off a student’s prior mathematics skills. The course allows the student to preview and gain intuitive understanding of more advanced mathematical concepts and explore the power and limitations of modern computation through real world applications and demonstrates the ways in which mathematical algorithms and computation influence society. Using MATLAB students will use state-of-the-art computational tools for error analysis, matrix manipulation, interpolation, data visualization, numerical integration, curve fitting, statistical analysis, and numerical methods of solutions of linear differential equations. Computer solutions are emphasized. Prerequisite: MATH170M, MATH171M, or MATH202M with a grade of C or better.
