About the Lumberjack Mathematics Center (LMC)

MAT 100: Mathematics Pathways is a two credit hour pass-fail course. In MAT 100 students have one required weekly meeting. Students are also required to work on course material for 60 minutes each week outside of class time in the LMC Lab. All course assignments are completed using ALEKS software.

Course content: Review of algebra topics including the simplification of algebraic expressions, solution of algebraic equations, graphing of linear equations and factoring of polynomials.

Sections offered: every fall, winter, spring and summer*

Course coordinator: Shanna Manny

*Winter and summer courses must meet minimum enrollment requirements and are only offered online.

MAT 108: Algebra for Precalculus is a three credit hour course designed to provide a review of fundamental concepts and skills required for successful entry into MAT 121: Finite Mathematics with Calculus or MAT 125: Precalculus. In MAT 108 students have two required weekly class meetings. One class meeting takes place in the classroom in which they explore some of the core concepts in groups through lessons and hands-on activities. The other class meeting takes place in the LMC Lab where they work on class assignments. Students are also required to work on course material for 60 minutes each week outside of class time in the LMC Lab. All course assignments are completed using ALEKS software.

Course content: Algebraic operations; simplifying expressions; functions; graphs; linear, absolute value, quadratic, cubic, square root functions; solving equations and inequalities; systems of equations.

MAT 114 is a three credit hour course designed for students in non-STEM majors. In MAT 114 students have two required weekly meetings. Students are also required to work on course material for 30 minutes each week outside of class time in the LMC Lab. All course assignments are completed using MyLabs Math software.

Course content: Contemporary quantitative methods, especially descriptive statistics, elementary probability, examples of statistical inference, linear and exponential models of growth and decay, and applicable discrete models.

MAT 125 is a four credit hour course in preparation for MAT 136: Calculus I. In MAT 125 students have three required weekly meetings. Two of these meetings take place in the classroom in which they explore some of the core concepts in groups through lessons and hands-on activities. The third class meeting takes place in the LMC Lab where they work on class assignments. Students are also required to work on course material for 50 minutes each week outside of class time in the LMC Lab. All course assignments are completed using MyLabs Math software.

Course content: Concept of function; graphs; absolute value, linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions, systems of equations, analytic geometry.
