MATH 2060
Elements of Linear Algebra
description
  • MATH 2060 (4 qtr. hrs.)

    Matrices, systems of linear equations, vectors, eigenvalues and eigenvectors; idea of a vector space; applications in the physical, social, engineering, and life sciences. Prerequisite(s): MATH 1750 or equivalent.
AHSS foundation
[AHUM 1000 or SOCS 1000]
Foundation courses
description
  • AHUM 1000 (4 qtr. hrs.)

    This foundational requirement exposes students to the perspective of the arts and humanities. Each student will take two foundational arts and humanities classes to complete the requirement (8 hours). These classes promote students' engagement with ideas, texts and creative expressions to help them recognize the power of these expressions to shape human experiences. Students reflect critically on multiple perspectives and their impact on human history, diverse cultures and the world around us.

    SOCS 1000 (4 qtr. hrs.)

    This foundational requirement exposes students to the perspectives of the social sciences. Each student will take two foundational social science classes to complete this requirement (8 hours). Each course explicitly addresses the interaction between human conduct and the context/environment in which that conduct occurs, the character of knowledge in the social sciences and how that may or may not differ from the character of knowledge in other fields, and how the subject matter of the courses is relevant for understanding one or more contemporary social problems.
