This course will cover the basics of statistical testing, regression analysis, experimental design, analysis of variance, the use of computers to analyze statistical problems.
MATRICES AND LINEAR ALGEBRA
MATH 555
Systems of linear equations, vector spaces, linear dependence, bases, dimension, linear mappings, matrices, determinants, quadratic forms, orthogonal reduction to diagonal form, eigenvalues, geometric applications.
PROBLEM SOLVING FOR THE ELEMENTARY TEACHER
MATH 570
This course is primarily for pre-service elementary and middle school teachers. Students will learn a variety of problem solving strategies applicable in elementary and middle school. The applications will cover many different areas of mathematics.
DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICS
