Selected UAS Math course topics

Statement of Philosophy:

The math faculty believe in giving students depth rather than just breadth.  Problem solving is a big focus of our lower division classes.  We believe that students should be able to apply the knowledge that they have to new situations by the time they complete Math 107.
