and geometry of linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic
functions. Mathematics of finance--annuities, perpetuities, present
value. Derivatives, graphical analysis, mathematical models as applied
to business. Selected coverage of algebra, geometry, and calculus
emphasizing business applications and decision making. Pre: two years

and research in a special area of major under direction of faculty
member(s). Project must include statement of objectives, outline of
activities planned, results expected, and how they are to be reported
and evaluated. Must be approved in advance by the department chair and
the faculty adviser.
