ANALYSIS AND REPERTORY

An introduction to formal analysis and tonal harmony, and a study of pieces in the standard repertory. Regular exercises in harmony. Prerequisite: ability to read standard pitch and rhythmic notation in treble and bass clefs, major and minor key signatures, time signatures, and to name intervals. (A placement test is given before the fall semester for incoming students). One fifty-minute ear training section required per week, in addition to classroom meetings. Sections are limited to 20.

THEORIES OF SOCIETY

This course is designed to introduce majors to widely used theoretical perspectives that inform the sociological imagination. It focuses on how these perspectives analyze core facets of social life, such as structure and stratification, power and inequality, culture, agency, self and identity. Each topic will be surveyed from several major perspectives, providing a comparative view so that students can make assessments of the insights each theory offers. Enrollment limited to 40 with majors and minors having priority.

PROBABILITY

An introduction to probability, including combinatorial probability, random variables, discrete and continuous distributions. Prerequisites: MTH 153 and MTH 212 (may be taken concurrently), or permission of the instructor.

CALCULUS III

Theory and applications of limits, derivatives, and integrals of functions of one, two and three variables. Curves in two and three dimensional space, vector functions, double and triple integrals, polar, cylindrical, spherical coordinates. Path integration and Green's Theorem. Prerequisites: MTH 112 or MTH 114. It is suggested that MTH 211 be taken before or concurrently with MTH 212.

LINEAR ALGEBRA

Vector spaces, matrices, linear transformations, systems of linear equations. Applications to be selected from differential equations, foundations of physics, geometry, and other topics. Students may not receive credit for both MTH 211 and MTH 210. Prerequisite: MTH 112 or the equivalent, or MTH 111 and MTH 153; MTH 153 is suggested.
