Course Descriptions - Lewis-Clark State College 2002-2003 Catalog

MTHPT 123 - Math for Technology (4 cr.)

This course fulfills the skills component of the General Education core and is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in those areas of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry that are currently pervasive in technical and industrial technologies. While this course is specifically designed to meet the needs of students enrolled in Technical and Industrial Technologies programs, students in other programs are welcome. Special attention is given to applications involving HVAC, manufacturing, mechanics, welding, drafting, and printing technologies. Mathematical topics include linear and quadratic equations, systems of linear equations, geometry and geometric solids, right and oblique triangle trigonometry, and periodic functions. Pre-requisites: GENTC 103 or satisfactory placement score. Course Fee.

MTHPT 130 - Math for Business Analysis (4 cr.)

This course fulfills the skills component of the General Education core and is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in those areas of algebra and statistics that are currently pervasive in both business and society. Special attention is given to applications in business and society. While this course is designed for student in the OBT Division , students in other programs are welcome. Special attention is given to applications in business, industry, economic, and life and social sciences. Topics include function notation; the construction and interpretation of linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic models; systems of linear equations, matrices, and inequalities; measures of central tendency and dispersion; and the normal distribution. Pre-requisites: GBOBT 202 or MATH 025 or satisfactory placement score. Course Fee. (Also listed as MATH 130)

MTHPT 137 - Math for Electronics (4 cr.)

This course fulfills the skills component of the General Education core and is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in those areas of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry that are currently pervasive in technical and industrial technologies. While this course is specifically designed to meet the needs of students enrolled in Technical and Industrial Technologies programs, students in other programs are welcome. This course intended to reinforce electronic concepts from a practical standpoint. It includes the mathematics involved in AC concepts such as current, voltage, and power found in RLC circuits, phasor and vector analysis, polar to rectangular conversions, phase shift, power factor, and AC network theorems. Other topics include quadratics, radicals and exponentials, logs, decibels, and computer number systems. Pre-requisites: GENEL 152 or GENTC 103 or satisfactory placement score.
