Priority |
Where/when it is addressed |
1. Demonstrates proficiency in Algebra and
Trigonometry necessary for success in Advanced mathematical
studies. |
Minimal |
Students need this proficiency to understand problems
and proofs. |
Knowledge, Analysis |
2. Demonstrates proficiency in Differential,
Integral, and Multivariable Calculus necessary for success in Advanced
mathematical studies. |
Medium |
Students need this proficiency to understand problems
and proofs. |
Knowledge, Analysis |
3. Demonstrates content knowledge of both abstract
and applied mathematical disciplines by stating definitions, salient
theorems, and proofs of major theorems and concepts that are core
content in upper division courses. |
High |
Content knowledge will be expanded; definitions and theorems
are key to understanding calculus and how they help us develop a
living knowledge of mathematics. |
Knowledge, Inquiry, Analysis |
4. Organize and explain their knowledge of logic and
mathematical content in the structure of original valid proofs. |
Very High |
Everywhere in the course. Each assignment is key in
developing these skills in students. |
Communication, Analysis |
5. Communicate mathematical ideas effectively in both
written and oral context. |
Very High |
Students must be able to write solutions in a logical
and cohesive manner; likewise, oral explanations are very important
for the successful student. |
Communication |
6. Apply major definitions, theorems and algorithms
in problem solving. |
High |
Students must know and apply theorems. |
Knowledge, Analysis |
7. Use appropriate technological tools while
solving mathematical problems. |
Medium |
Students should have a good knowledge of calculator
use, as well as desktop software for writing mathmatics. |
Knowledge, Analysis |
8. Prepare professionally for graduate school or
employment in mathematics or related fields. |
Medium |
While the course minimally prepares students for
employment or graduate school, it enables students to begin their
journey in their decision for graduate school, employment, or other
decisions. |
Inquiry, Service, Stewardship |
