Required courses:
MAS 099 Presentation Attendance| The aim of this course is exposure to mathematics
beyond the classroom curriculum. The course
requirement is attendance at a minimum of six
formal presentations on mathematical topics given
at conferences, colloquia or symposia at a minimum
of two separate events (that is, a conference or
event). Presentations should have a title and
abstract and may be given by faculty or students;
poster sessions do not count. 0 credits. |
| A calculus sequence for department majors and
other students desiring a rigorous introduction to
elementary calculus. Fulfills requirement: Quantitative Reasoning. Prerequisite: MAS 102 at LVC, or satisfactory score on the
math readiness test. This test is administered during New
Student Advising Days for incoming students or can be taken
by arrangement with the math department (717-867-6080)
Co-requisite: MAS 113. 4 credits. |
| Second semester of a calculus sequence for
department majors and other students desiring a
rigorous introduction to elementary calculus. Fulfills requirement: Quantitative Reasoning. Prerequisite: MAS 111; Corequisite: MAS 114. 4 credits. |
| An introduction to college mathematics for
potential mathematical science majors. Corequisite: MAS 111. 1 credit. |
| Second semester. Introduction to college
mathematics for potential mathematical science
majors. Corequisite: MAS 112. 1 credit. |
| Introduction to logic, set theory and proof
techniques. Prerequisites: MAS 222 or ASC 281. 3 credits. |
| An introduction to linear algebra including
systems of equations, vectors spaces and linear
transformations. Prerequisites: MAS 112 or MAS 261. 3 credits. |
| Multivariate calculus including partial
differentiation, multiple integration, vector
fields and vector functions. Prerequisites: MAS 112 or MAS 162. 3 credits. |
| This course introduces the fundamentals of
computer programming using the Python programming
language. Topics include: variables, types, and
assignment; iteration and conditional execution;
functions, modules, and structured design; complex
types and data structures. Students will also
learn to use AI tools to assist with programming
tasks. 3 credits. |
Any ASC, CSC, FIN or MAS course numbered 200 or higher, excluding internships and 1-credit CSC courses.
Four additional advanced MAS courses numbered 300 or higher, except MAS-400:
One of the following may be counted in the advanced category:
ASC 482 Mathematics of Life Contingencies II| This is the second part of a two-semester study of
long-term life-contingent payment models. Topics
include multiple-state models for insurance,
annuities, premium computation, and policy
valuation; pension accrual, valuation, and
funding; universal life insurance; and options
embedded in insurance contracts. This course and
ASC 481, together, cover the topics on SOA exam
ALTAM. Prerequisites: ASC 481. 3 credits. |
Mathematics majors are advised to take at least one computer science course or have equivalent experience.
At the discretion of the department, the requirement of
MAS 111 Analysis I| A calculus sequence for department majors and
other students desiring a rigorous introduction to
elementary calculus. Fulfills requirement: Quantitative Reasoning. Prerequisite: MAS 102 at LVC, or satisfactory score on the
math readiness test. This test is administered during New
Student Advising Days for incoming students or can be taken
by arrangement with the math department (717-867-6080)
Co-requisite: MAS 113. 4 credits. |
and/or 112 may be waived for students who enter the major with credit for
MAS 161 Calculus I| A calculus sequence covering functions, limits,
differentiation, integration and applications. Fulfills requirement: Quantitative Reasoning. Prerequisite: MAS 102 at LVC, or satisfactory score on the
math readiness test. This test is administered during New
Student Advising Days for incoming students or can be taken
by arrangement with the math department (717-867-6080). 3 credits. |
and 162. Such students will still take
MAS 113 Introduction to Mathematical Thinking I| An introduction to college mathematics for
potential mathematical science majors. Corequisite: MAS 111. 1 credit. |
and 114.
