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.
Introduces differential equations, theoretical and practical solution techniques. Applications. Problem solving using MATLAB.
