Workshops
Offered
Basic Math
-
Converting
Word Problems
This workshop provides tips on how to "translate" word
problems into algebraic equations. Students learn how to
determine what information a word problem is giving them and
what the problem is asking them to solve.
-
Fractions
This workshop is designed to cover the basics of working
with fractions. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division of fractions are illustrated with examples. Methods
for finding common denominators and when they are needed are
discussed.
-
Fractions,
Decimals and Percentages
This workshop discusses the connections between fractions,
decimals, and percentages. Through the use of examples and
interactive exercises, students learn how to convert from
one form to another and they learn the relationships between
the different forms.
-
Inequalities
This workshop focuses on the basic properties of
inequalities. Students review how inequalities can be
applied, how to solve problems and the use of proper
notation.
-
Understanding
the Basics of Functions
Students review basic terminology and symbols used when
referring to general functions. Basic properties of
functions are also covered.
|
-
Exponential
Functions
This workshop offers a review of basic exponential
functions. Basic properties of these functions and their
graphs are discussed. The most common bases used in
mathematics (base 10, e, and ln) are reviewed.
-
Graphing
Linear and Quadratic Equations
Students review different methods for graphing linear and
quadratic equations. The workshop covers graphing linear and
quadratic equations in their different forms (i.e. the
point-slope form, f(x)= ax2 + bx + c, etc).
-
Working
with Polynomials
In this workshop, students review basic algebraic rules as
they are applied when working with polynomials. Special
attention is given to methods of factoring and the F.O.I.L.
method is revisited.
|
Trigonometry
-
Graphing
Trigonometric Functions
This workshop covers a basic review of trigonometric functions
with special emphasis on how to graph the functions.
-
Review
of Trigonometric Identities
The workshop offers a review of the basic trigonometric
identities to include basic, sum and difference, double and
half-angle, and product and sum identities. Also discussed are
tips for how to verify identities.
|
-
Mathematics
of Finance
The focus of this workshop is on the business application
of mathematical problems. Emphasis is placed on problems
dealing with finding future and present values of ordinary
annuities.
-
Adding
& Subtracting Matrices
In this workshop, basic addition and subtraction properties of
matrices are discussed. Also, using matrices to solve system of
equations is covered.
-
Multiplying
Matrices
This workshop covers the scalar multiplication and multiplying
two matrices.
-
Gauss
Jordan Method
This workshop covers how to solve systems of equations using
the Gauss-Jordan Method. An example is included to demonstrate.
-
Product
Rule
This workshop covers how to use the product rule
to differentiate problems where one function is multiplied by
another. Examples are given and presented step by step.
-
Quotient
Rule
This workshop provides a detailed explanation of how to use
the product and quotient rule. Examples are given and presented
step by step.
-
Probability
This is an overview of the basic concepts of probability.
Permutations and combinations are also covered and thoroughly
discussed.
-
Permutations
and Combinations
This workshop provides a brief definition of what permutations
and combinations are. Real world examples of each are given.
|
Calculus
-
Basic
Derivatives
In this workshop, students review the basic derivative forms,
including derivatives for trigonometric functions. The use of
product, quotient, and chain rules are also reviewed.
-
Integration
Using Trigonometric Substitution
This workshop provides a detailed explanation of how to
integrate functions using trigonometric substitutions. Also
covered is how to convert the limits of integration.
-
Series
A review of the various convergence and divergence tests for
series are covered. The workshop provides tips on what to look
for in order to determine the best test to use with a particular
type of series.
-
Integration
by Substitution and Parts
This workshop reviews integrals that cannot be solved by basic
methods; rather, by using formulas that help rewrite them and
solve them more efficiently.
|
Logic
-
Truth
Tables
This workshop
covers the basics for truth tables. It goes over the description
of connectives, how to evaluate them, and basic arguments.
-
Number
Bases
This workshop
covers basic operations using different number bases.
|
Statistics
-
Statistics
This workshops covers
some basic formulas in descriptive statistics. Examples are
given to demonstrate how to use the formulas.
