STAT C1000 Introduction to Statistics (formerly MATH 115)
4.0 units; 4 hours per week in class; UC and CSU transferable
This course is an introduction to statistical thinking and processes, including methods and concepts for discovery and decision-making using data. Topics include descriptive statistics; probability and sampling distributions; statistical inference; correlation and linear regression; analysis of variance, chi-squared, and t-tests; and application of technology for statistical analysis including the interpretation of the relevance of the statistical findings. Students apply methods and processes to applications using data from a broad range of disciplines.
MATH 102 Fundamentals of College Algebra
4.0 units; 4 hours per week in class; UC and CSU transferable
College level course in algebra, with applications. Polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, absolute value, and logarithmic functions; linear and nonlinear systems of equations or inequalities; sequences and series; analytic geometry.
MATH 108 Algebra and Trigonometry
3.0 units; 3 hours per week in class; UC and CSU transferable
This course will replace Precalculus; it offers a streamlined approach to several topics that are important for success in Calculus: functions, equations, trigonometry.
MATH 121 Calculus I with Applications
3.0 units; 3 hours per week in class; UC and CSU transferable
Topics include limits, continuity, derivatives, integrals, exponential and logarithmic functions. Standard applications of the derivative to drawing graphs of functions of one real variable and to optimization problems are included. Business applications of profit maximization and consumer/producer surplus are covered.
MATH 123 Analytic Geometry and Calculus I
5.0 units; 5 hours per week in class; UC and CSU transferable
Introduction to differential and integral calculus of functions of one real variable. Continuous functions, limit of a function at a point, the derivative; differentiation formulas and rules for one-variable functions, implicit differentiation; mean value theorem and its application to optimization and curve sketching, linear approximation and differential notation; applications of the Riemann integral to finding areas, volumes of solids of revolutions, work, centroids, and total force on a plane submerged in a fluid.
STAT 115 Introduction to Statistics for Business
4.0 units; 4 hours per week in class; Transferable
(Credit will be awarded for either STAT C1000 or STAT 115, but not both courses.) This course introduces statistics for students in business, social sciences, psychology, life science, health sciences and education disciplines. It covers descriptive statistics, probability hypothesis testing, linear and multiple regression, correlation, sampling, statistical inference and time series analysis. Illustrations are taken from the various social sciences, business, life science, health sciences and education disciplines. Students are instructed in the use of computer spreadsheet software to solve statistical and data analysis problems. (CSU/UC) AA/AS Area E, CSU Area B-4, IGETC Area 2, C-ID: MATH 110
