MA101 continues the study of mathematical modeling and problem solving using effective problem solving strategies and modeling theory to solve complex and often ill-defined problems. The course exercises mathematical concepts while nurturing creativity, critical thinking, and learning through activities performed in disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and multidisciplinary settings. Special emphasis is placed on introducing calculus using continuous and discrete mathematics through applied settings. The course exploits a variety of technological tools to develop numerical, graphical, and analytical solutions that enhance understanding.

This course continues the study of discrete dynamical systems and begins the study of calculus for MA100 cadets. Precalculus concepts of algebra, trigonometry, functions, limits, and continuity are integrated into the study of differential calculus. Application problems are mathematically modeled and technology is used in their solution. The successful completion of MA100 and MA101 is equivalent to completing MA103.
