Courses

An introductory study of fiction with the purpose of cultivating skills in literary interpretation, scholarly research, textual analysis, and academic writing and documentation. Students will focus on the distinctive conventions of fiction in order to interpret these works critically, while interacting thoughtfully with themes presented therein. Students will continue to develop their academic prose, with attention to improving foundational grammar, diction, phrasing, organization, and argument-building in the genre of the essay.

Students engage in inquiry and discussion of concepts underpinning a Christian liberal arts education; explore TWU's unique core curriculum and Student Learning Outcomes; practice strategies to confidently navigate their university journey; and develop an educational plan to guide their academic decision-making.

This course addresses functions, limits and continuity, derivatives and applications, and integrals and applications.

Transcendental functions, integration techniques, polar co-ordinates, sequences, series, and Taylor series.

Multivariate calculus. Topics include vectors, vector functions and derivatives; curves; partial and directional derivatives; Lagrange multipliers; double and triple integrals; spherical and cylindrical co-ordinates; vector integrals, Green's Theorem, and surface integrals.

Systems of linear equations, matrices, determinants, vector spaces, linear transformations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, diagonalization applications, and linear programming.

First-order differential equations, linear differential equations, Laplace transforms, systems of differential equations, non-linear systems, series solutions, introduction to partial differential equations. Special emphasis is placed on applications to physics and engineering.

This is a liberal arts-oriented capstone course concerning the integration of Christianity with computing science and other disciplines taught within the Faculty of Natural and Applied Sciences. Christian beliefs are applied to an understanding and evaluation of modern science and technology. The course integrates elements of theology, history and philosophy of science, and specific topics where Christian faith and science intersect. This course consists of three parts: general topics in science, further exploration of topics for students within computing science, and student-led seminars in interdisciplinary groups.
