The Mathematics Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) is designed for students planning to transfer into a mathematics major. By completing this degree, students will gain a strong foundation in the mathematical field. This knowledge will be grounded in quantitative and analytical reasoning, and students will gain a practical and theoretical understanding for future studies in mathematics.
Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:
- State the definition of derivatives and compute the derivatives of basic and transcendental functions of one or more variables.
- Apply concepts of differential and integral calculus of one or more variables to solve problems involving rates, area, volume, and lengths of arcs.
- State the definition of integrals and calculate definite and indefinite integrals involving basic and transcendental functions.
- Graph equations in the rectangular, polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems, curves defined parametrically, conic sections, vectors, and vector-valued functions.
- Solve first-order differential equations and compute partial derivatives.
- Perform matrix operations, eigenvalue and eigenvector computations, and applications.
