Offers an overview of the American political system and the theories of those who both celebrate and criticize it. Focuses on the institutions of American politics, including the Constitution, the presidency, Congress, the courts, parties, elections, interest groups, and movements seeking political change. Also includes a theoretical focus: a critical examination of the varieties of liberalism, conservatism, pluralism, and democracy that inform the practice of American politics.

Topics include algebraic structures: groups, rings (including some elementary number theory), fields, and vector spaces.

Offers mathematics as a laboratory science. After a short introduction to the computer, uses hand and computer computation to explore mathematical ideas. Directs laboratory projects toward discovery of properties and patterns in mathematical structures. The choice of projects varies from year to year and is drawn from algebra, analysis, discrete mathematics, geometry, and statistics.

Studies some aspects of discrete mathematics. Topics include sets, functions, elementary probability, induction proofs, and recurrence relations.

Topics include elements of the theory of matrices and vector spaces.

Topics include differential and integral calculus of functions of several variables.

Topics include differential and integral calculus of functions of several variables.

Topics include techniques of integration, applications of integration, differential equations, sequences, series, and Taylor series.

Topics include techniques of integration, applications of integration, differential equations, sequences, series, and Taylor series.

This course is for students who have not studied calculus and who have the necessary precalculus background. It presents rates of change and their applications, integrals, the fundamental theorem, and modeling of phenomena in the natural and social sciences. All students are required to complete the online self assessment of precalculus skills before the course begins.
