CAPSTONE PROFESSIONAL THESIS (LW5095)

This 6 credit capstone provides students with opportunity to test their theoretical knowledge of Human Rights and Data Science in a professional situation (NGO, private company, public administration, international institutions or other relevant bodies). The thesis should follow a 4-credit internship or relevant professional experience approved by the program director and the thesis supervisor.

INTERNSHIP (LW5098)

Internships are commonly pursued in law firms, non-governmental organizations, international development networks or research institutes, but can also be completed in a variety of other institutions. The University cannot guarantee placement in an internship, but will provide assistance with the internship search. Students must have completed their first semester of MA studies and should contact the Internship Office early for registration purposes.

DIRECTED STUDY (LW5900)

INTERNSHIP (LW5980)

INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA (MA0900)

Intermediate Algebra is for students who need a review before proceeding further in mathematics. The class meets once per week. Topics include linear and quadratic equations, inequalities, graphs, polynomials, factoring, radical expressions, 2x2 systems of linear equations, integer exponents and scientific notation.
This course is worth 2 credits.

MATH FOR LIFE (MA1005)

A General Education course designed for students majoring in subjects not requiring math skills, and those who dislike math. Projects are developed from a range of everyday situations: banking, the stock market, gambling, and even art. Meeting alternately in the classroom and the computer lab to develop mathematical models, students will develop quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. MA1005 CCM is not open to students who have taken MA1020 (Statistics) or above, and students cannot receive credit for MA 1005 if they have received credit for previously taking (either at AUP or transferred in) any math higher than or equivalent to MA 1005 CCM Math for Life.

APPLIED STATISTICS I (MA1020)

Introduces the tools of statistical analysis. Combines theory with extensive data collection and computer-assisted laboratory work. Develops an attitude of mind accepting uncertainty and variability as part of problem analysis and decision-making. Topics include: exploratory data analysis and data transformation, hypothesis-testing and the analysis of variance, simple and multiple regression with residual and influence analyses.

FUNCTIONS, MODELING, PRECALCULUS (MA1025)

Functions Modeling Change provides the algebraic and geometric skills needed to succeed in a Calculus course. The central topic is functions (in particular linear, polynomial, exponential and logarithmic), function notation and graphs, transformations, composition and inverses. Students also work with computers building mathematical models based on these functions, and implemented using graphing calculators, mathematical software and Excel.

CALCULUS I (MA1030)

Introduces differential and integral calculus. Develops the concepts of calculus as applied to polynomials, logarithmic, and exponential functions. Topics include: limits, derivatives, techniques of differentiation, applications to extrema and graphing; the definite integral; the fundamental theorem of calculus, applications; logarithmic and exponential functions, growth and decay; partial derivatives. Appropriate for students in the biological, management, computer and social sciences.
