2014 Fall – MAT 2071 Proofs and Logic – Reitz
This course is designed to prepare students for an advanced mathematics curriculum by providing a transition from Calculus to abstract mathematics. The course focuses on the processes of mathematical reasoning, argument, and discovery. Topics include propositional and first order logic, learning proofs through puzzles and games, axiomatic approach to group theory, number theory, and set theory, abstract properties of relations and functions, elementary graph theory, sets of different cardinalities, and the construction and properties of real numbers.

MEDU1010 Foundations of Math Ed, FA2016
This course examines the historical, philosophical, and sociological foundations underlying the development of American educational institutions. The role of the schools, the aims of education, diverse learners, the mathematics curriculum in New York State, legal principles that affect education, and the role of state, local, and federal agencies will be emphasized.
MAT2572 Probability w/ Statistics, FA2016
Topics for the course include sample spaces and probabilities, discrete distributions (Binomial, Negative Binomial, Geometric, Hypergeometric, Poisson, and Gamma), continuous distributions (Uniform, Normal, Chi-squared), expectation and variance, hypothesis testing, interval estimation and confidence intervals. There will be extensive use of MS Excel and R, a statistical software program. At the end of the course, students should be able make meaningful connections between statistics and other areas of study, including and social sciences.
MAT2630 Numerical Methods, FA2015
An introduction to solving mathematical problems on the computer using a symbolic algebra program with applications drawn from science and engineering. Topics include roots of non-linear functions, interpolation, numerical differentiation and numerical integration.
This is a continuation of the Biology I (BIO1101) course, focusing on the basic description of living organisms ranging from Prokaryotes to higher eukaryotes. Topics covered also include animal organization and description of their main organ systems, with a particular attention to how such systems work in humans. We will be utilizing OpenLab to complete several interactive assignments throughout the semester.

NSF Diversity and Inclusion in the Geosciences Workshop
Can’t find time to write that paper on diversity and inclusion in the geosciences? Need an oasis of focused, dedicated writing time and space away from distracting demands? Would it help to be in a supportive environment with your geoscience peers who can provide support and motivation needed to complete that geoscience paper on diversity and inclusion? If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then you should consider applying to this NSF-sponsored writing workshop!
New York City College of Technology’s prestigious National Science Foundation’s Improving Undergraduate STEM Education GEOPATH (NSF IUSE) is a paid internship program for second semester Junior or rising Senior in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. This program is only for US citizens or permanent residents. This highly prominent, transformative, industry/career oriented, and nationally recognized program is the only one of its kind. The program’s culminating goal is to provide qualified students a clear, unambiguous pathway to a lucrative geoscience workforce option via a unique set of best practice protocols and structured mentorship initiatives. Selected candidates commit one academic year (2019-2020) to the program. The training consists of the following: Fall 2019 • Enrollment in the Fall ENVS 200: Environmental Health Issues course. • Attendance at all geoscience industry exposure trips during class or on Fridays. • Successful completion of the ENVS 200 course with a grade of B or higher. Winter 2020 • Participation in the Geoscience Workforce Skills Training and Enrichment Workshop to be held January 21, 22, 23, and 24, 2020 (dates subject to change) ($300 stipend) • Completion of geoscience and workforce assignments Spring 2020 • Commitment to seminars on Thursdays from 1 – 2 PM at New York City College of Technology • Completion of a geoscience research project- 50 hours ($500 stipend) Summer 2020 • Nine-week internship program starting June 8-August 7, 2020 (dates subject to change) ($3,600 stipend)
