MGF 1106 MATHEMATICS FOR LIBERAL ARTS I 3 credits

Prerequisite: MAT 1033 or appropriate score on the SPC mathematics placement test. This course is a general survey course in mathematics and covers a number of traditional, independent topics and will include topics related to mathematical logic, sets and systematic counting, probability, statistics, geometry and critical thinking skills. One of its intents is to provide preparation for the Florida CLAST test for those students who may need to take it. This course satisfies three credits of the mathematics requirements outlined in the General Education Requirements, but is not a prerequisite to any other mathematics course. (Credit will not be given for both MGF 1113 and MGF 1106.) 47 contact hours.

MGF 1107 MATHEMATICS FOR LIBERAL ARTS II 3 credits

Prerequisite: MAT 1033 or appropriate score on the SPC mathematics placement test. This course presents topics demonstrating the beauty and utility of mathematics to the general student population and to provide knowledge and skills useful for college, life, and career. The course will include topics related to patterns and reasoning, growth and symmetry, linear and exponential growth, and personal finance; mathematical connections with music, art, architecture and nature will be explored. History of mathematics, critical thinking skills, problem solving strategies and appropriate use of technology will be used throughout the course. This course satisfies three credits of the mathematics requirements outlined in the General Education Requirements, but is not a prerequisite to any other mathematics course. (MGF 1106 and MGF 1107 may be taken concurrently.) 47 contact hours.

MGF 1108H HONORS MATHEMATICAL IDEAS AND EXPLORATIONS 3 credits

Prerequisite: (Appropriate score on the SPC placement test) or (acceptance into the Honors College) or approval of the program director. The curriculum is designed to provide the student with the knowledge and skills useful for college, life and career. The course will involve problem-based learning about topics that cross disciplines. These topics include probability, statistics, geometry, modeling, and mathematical connections with music, art, architecture, nature and the business world. Critical thinking skills, problem solving strategies and appropriate use of technology will be used throughout the course. 47 contact hours.

MGF 4301 TRANSITIONS TO ADVANCED MATHEMATICS 3 credits

Prerequisite: MAD 3107 and MAS 3105. This course is an introduction to the axiomatic nature of mathematics through topics in areas such as set theory, relations, functions, algebra, and analysis. The rigor of precise definitions, theorems, and proofs will be emphasized. 47 contact hours.
