MTH209A Fundamentals of Mathematics I Lead Faculty: Dr. Igor Ya
Subbotin A study of the real number system and its subsystems,
ancient and modern numeration systems, problem-solving and
simple number theory. Includes teaching materials and discussion
of today's professional organizations. This is a content course,
not a methods course. - Describe historically significant
contributions to the development of mathematics. - Differentiate
between and use inductive and deductive reasoning. - Develop a
list of problem-solving strategies. - Find sums, terms,
understand notation for arithmetic, geometric, binary, Fibonacci
and power sequences. - Understand the concept of function and
what is meant by variable, domain, range, rate of change for
linear, quadratic, logarithmic, exponential and other functions.
- Use interpolation and extrapolation. - Use scientific
notation. - Recognize the platonic solids, the semiregular
polyhedra, perform elementary constructions, and measurements. -
Use manipulatives to explain oper
