MTH 201 - Functions and Modeling

[3 credit(s)]

Prerequisite or co-requisite: EDB 242, MTH 182. Enrollment is restricted to students seeking teaching licensure in the CSUTeach program. This course is designed to engage prospective secondary mathematics teachers in explorations and laboratory activities that will expand and strengthen knowledge and understanding of topics in the secondary mathematics curriculum at a level appropriate for an undergraduate mathematics major. Connections between secondary and college mathematics will be illuminated; extensive use of technology will be integrated into solving non-routine problems and applying mathematics in real-world situations, which will be the primary focus. Explorations will involve the use of multiple representations, transformations, data analysis techniques (such as curve fitting) and interconnections among topics in algebra, analytic geometry, statistics, trigonometry, and calculus. No credit toward the mathematics major or minor.
