MATH 290 - Mathematics for the Environment | 2025-2026

Examines mathematical techniques for understanding place-based environmental issues, analyzing situations, and taking appropriate action. Students will apply methods for collecting, understanding, and displaying data effectively, including gathering environmental data outdoors, then make conclusions using basic inferential statistics. Students will also examine the use of stock-flow systems and other mathematical tools to model interacting populations, energy, pollution spread, recycling, and financial networks.

MATH 203 - Probability and Statistics I | 2025-2026

An introduction to the theory and application of probability and statistics for students who have experience with calculus. Topics include data collection, descriptive statistics, probability, random variables and standard distributions, central limit theorem, hypothesis tests, interval estimates, and linear regression. Computer software will be used to display, analyze, and simulate data. The focus will be on biostatistics with applications using data from the life sciences.

MATH 191 - Mathematics, History & Culture | 2025-2026

Investigates the history of some of the principal mathematical societies, including ancient Egypt, Babylon, and Greece; pre-modern Islamic societies, India, and China; indigenous cultures; and the modern west, providing context for students’ performance of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. Students shall discover how mathematics is shaped by, and itself shapes, historical movements, philosophical positions, and issues of faith

MATH 190 - Mathematics for Elementary Teachers | 2025-2026

Mathematical concepts and topics that undergird the elementary school mathematics curriculum. Topics include principles and applications of number systems, sets, equations, linear programming, geometry, and mathematical proof within a historical and societal context. It may not be used to meet a mathematics requirement in any other program. Students are responsible for checking the mathematics requirements of the school at which they intend to take their professional year, as they may be different from those required to obtain a teaching certificate.
