Courses in mathematics (designated MATH) may be applied as appropriate, with the exception of MATH 001, 009, and 012, for example, toward:
- the general education requirement in mathematics;
- a Certificate in Mathematics; and
- electives.
Placement tests are required for enrollment in MATH 001, 009, 012, 106, 107, 108, 115, 130, 131, and 220 and recommended for enrollment in MATH 103. Students can learn about placement tests (Accuplacer) by visiting UMUC Europe Placement Tests. Tests are administered at most education centers. Students can contact the UMUC Europe field representative at the education center they register at for information on testing times.
Students are expected to own and use scientific calculators in all mathematics and statistics courses.
Degree-seeking students should complete the math general education requirement (or present the equivalent in transfer) during their first 18 credits of enrollment at UMUC.
Return to subject area index.(Not open to students who have already successfully completed a higher-level mathematics course. Does not apply toward degree requirements. Yields institutional credit only.) Prerequisite: An appropriate result on the placement test. A study of whole numbers, integers, fractions, decimals and real numbers, variable expressions, first degree equations, ratio and proportion, percent, and geometry. All topics are employed to solve applied problems. Students may receive credit for only one of the following courses: MATH 001, MATH 100, or UCSP 198 Transitional Mathematics.
(Not open to students who have already successfully completed a higher-level mathematics course. Does not apply toward degree requirements. Yields institutional credit only.) Prerequisite: MATH 001 or an appropriate result on the placement test. A comprehensive review of fractions, percentages, operations with signed numbers, and geometric formulas. Basic algebraic topics include exponents, polynomials, and linear equations. Students may receive credit for only one of the following courses: MATH 009, MATH 009M, or MATH 100.
(Not open to students who have already successfully completed a higher-level mathematics course. Does not apply toward degree requirements. Yields institutional credit only.) Prerequisite: MATH 009 or an appropriate result on the placement test. A study of problem-solving techniques in intermediate-level algebra. Emphasis is on numbers and algebraic properties, graphing skills, and applications drawn from a variety of areas (such as statistics, computing, and discrete mathematics). Topics include polynomials; factoring; exponents and their notation; linear, quadratic, and other equations; and inequalities. Students may receive credit for only one of the following courses: MATH 012, MATH 101, MATH 101M, MATH 102, MATH 102M, MATH 199A, or MATH 199M.
Recommended prerequisite: MATH 012 or approval of the department. This course is not intended for students planning to take MATH 107 or higher-numbered mathematics courses and does not serve as a prerequisite for these courses. This course focuses on data driven applications and the development of critical thinking skills related to mathematics. Topics include problem solving, equations, inequalities, linear systems, graphs, functions, consumer mathematics, financial management, probability and statistics. Additional topics may include set theory, Venn Diagrams, deductive and inductive reasoning, and logic.
(Not intended for students planning to take MATH 107, higher-numbered mathematics courses, or STAT 200.) Prerequisite: MATH 012 or an appropriate result on the placement test. A survey of selected topics from contemporary mathematics to introduce the student to mathematical thinking, covering applications and projects of other disciplines. Topics include problem solving, finance, probability and statistics, linear models, set theory, and logic. Other topics may include sequences and series, geometry, and game theory. Students may receive credit for only one of the following courses: MATH 105 or MATH 106.
(The first course in the two-course series MATH 107-108. An alternative to MATH 115 Pre-Calculus.) Prerequisites: MATH 012 or an appropriate result on the placement test. An introduction to equations, inequalities, and absolute values and a study of functions and their properties, including the development of graphing skills with polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Applications are also covered. Students may receive credit for only one of the following courses: MATH 107 or MATH 115.
(The second course in the two-course series MATH 107-108. An alternative to MATH 115 Pre-Calculus.) Prerequisite: MATH 107 or an appropriate result on the placement test. An introduction to trigonometric functions, identities, and equations and their applications. Analytical geometry and conic sections are covered. Additional topics may include matrices, determinants, sequences, and series. Students may receive credit for only one of the following courses: MATH 108 or MATH 115.
Prerequisite: MATH 108, MATH 115, or an appropriate result on the placement test. An introduction to calculus. Topics include functions, continuity, derivatives, and applications of derivatives including maximum-minimum problems, related rates and graphs of functions. Students may receive credit for only one of the following courses: MATH 130, MATH 140, or MATH 220.
