Examines different conceptions of algebra as the study of (1) generalized arithmetic, (2) reasoning with symbols, (3) reasoning with patterns and functions, (4) structure in the number system, and (5) modeling. Distinguishes arithmetic from algebraic reasoning, and develops an appreciation for the pervasiveness of the function concept in the K-8 school mathematics curriculum.

Methods of integration; applies calculus, elements of analytic geometry, improper integrals, sequences, and series. Not open to students with credit in MAT 291. The sequence MAT 270, 271, 272 may be substituted to satisfy requirements for MAT 290 and 291.

Enroll requirements: Prerequisite(s): MAT 265 or 270 with C or better; Credit is allowed for only MAT 266 or MAT 271
