All students taking Mathematics courses must take the quantitative skills placement tests. Scores for admission to various courses are determined by the Mathematics faculty.

Mathematics/Computer Science Goals

I. Develop effective thinking and communication skills

II. Learn to use technological tools

III. Learn to link applications and theory

IV Develop mathematical independence and experience open-ended inquiry

V. Content Specific Goal: Learn the theory and application from calculus; linear algebra; data analysis; computer programming; lab science sequence; and read, analyze and produce proofs.

Additional goals for Mathematics Majors Seeking Adolescent Teaching Certificate:

VI. Demonstrate knowledge and apply the national and state standards for mathematics instruction.

Specific Learning Objectives for Mathematics Core Courses: (as outlined in the Daemen College core curriculum Quantitative Literacy requirement):

A) Interpret models such as formulas, graphs, tables, and schematics, and draw inferences from them.
(B) Represent information symbolically, visually, numerically, and verbally. Use arithmetical, algebraic, geometric and statistical methods to solve problems.
(C) Estimate and check answers to problems in order to determine reasonableness, identify alternatives, and select optimal results.
(D) Recognize that Quantitative methods and statistical methods have limits

Mathematics Department Goals and Learning Objectives: As outlined by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), “Mathematical Association of America’s Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics (CUPM).” http://www.maa.org.
