EMAT 2306, FOUNDATIONS OF MATHEMATICS 1
Fall, Spring, Summer
Students study the mathematical background for meaningful learning of number concepts, precise definitions, fundamental operations and problem-solving mathematics. The structure of the real number system is developed through the use of elementary logic and set theory.
Previous course number: MATH 2306; a student may use EMAT 2306 to replace a grade received in MATH 2306; however, one may not receive credit for both EMAT 2306 and MATH 2306.
Prerequisite: MATH 1340 with a grade of C or better.

EMAT 2307, FOUNDATIONS OF MATHEMATICS 2
Fall, Spring, Summer
This course is a continuation of EMAT 2306. Topics include measurement, geometry, probability, statistics, elementary algebra and problem solving.
Previous course number: MATH 2307; a student may use EMAT 2307 to replace a grade received in MATH 2307; however, one may not receive credit for both EMAT 2307 and MATH 2307.
Prerequisite: MATH 1340 with grade of C or better and EMAT 2306 with a grade of C or better.

Student Learning Outcomes: After completing this course students will
- Demonstrate an understanding and use of the concepts and principles of probability to describe probabilities for outcomes, simple events, and compound events empirically and theoretically for binomial, normal, and other basic random variable distributions.
- Demonstrate an understanding and use of data gathering, organizing, and interpreting processes making appropriate uses of tables, frequency distributions, graphs (e.gs., histogram, stem-and-leaf, box-plot, circle graph) and basic statistics (e.gs., mean, median, mode, standard deviation, range, quartiles, percentiles) to make conjectures and draw conclusions at an informal level.
- Demonstrate understanding and skill in selecting and using appropriate units of measure (e.gs., linear, area, volume, temperature) to describe and compare quantities in a variety of situations, attending to accuracy, precision, relative error, conversions, dimensional analysis, proportional and linear relationships, and relevant formulas.
- Demonstrate a set-theoretic understanding of geometric concepts (e.gs., polygon, circle, plane, net, polyhedron, prism, cylinder, sphere, cone, tessellation, network) and relationships (e.gs., congruent, parallel, perpendicular, adjacent, vertical, similar, pre-image, image, reflection, rotation, translation) and the ability to use these in various situations, including geometric constructions. Demonstrate understanding and skill in using calculators, and other tools, equipment, software, and computer technology that enable and enhance the accomplishment of the above outcomes for probability, statistics, geometry and measurement.
