Dr. Cox's research is focused on different teaching and assessment methods and how they interact. His focus is on college level remediation and the variables that exacerbate the teaching/learning experience for post-high school students.
APPM 1235 - Pre-Calculus for Engineers
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2018
Prepares students for the challenging content and pace of the calculus sequence required for all engineering majors. Covers algebra, trigonometry and selected topics in analytical geometry. Prepares students for the calculus courses offered for engineering students. Requires students to engage in rigorous work sessions as they review topics that they must be comfortable with to pursue engineering course work. Structured to accustom students to the pace and culture of learning encountered in engineering math courses. For more information about the math placement referred to in the Enrollment Requirements, please contact your academic advisor. Degree credit not granted for this course and MATH 1021 or MATH 1150. Formerly GEEN 1235.
APPM 1340 - Calculus 1 with Algebra, Part A
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2018
Studies selected topics in analytical geometry and calculus: rates of change of functions, limits, derivatives and their applications. This course and APPM 1345 together are equivalent to APPM 1350. The sequence of this course and APPM 1345 is specifically designed for students whose manipulative skills in the techniques of high school algebra and precalculus may be inadequate for APPM 1350. For more information about the math placement referred to in the Enrollment Requirements, please contact your academic advisor.
APPM 1345 - Calculus 1 with Algebra, Part B
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2019
Continuation of APPM 1340. Studies selected topics in calculus: derivatives and their applications, integration, differentiation and integration of transcendental functions. Algebraic and trigonometric topics are studied throughout, as needed. Degree credit not granted for this course and APPM 1350 or ECON 1088 or MATH 1081 or MATH 1300 or MATH 1310 or MATH 1330.
APPM 1360 - Calculus 2 for Engineers
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2018
Continuation of APPM 1350. Focuses on applications of the definite integral, methods of integration, improper integrals, Taylor's theorem, and infinite series. Degree credit not granted for this course and MATH 2300.
APPM 7400 - Topics in Applied Mathematics
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2018
Provides a vehicle for the development and presentation of new topics with the potential of being incorporated into the core courses in applied mathematics. May be repeated up to 6 total credit hours.
COEN 1236 - Precalculus Work Group
Secondary Instructor
-
Spring 2018
Develops and enhances problem solving skills for students enrolled in APPM 1235. Course is conducted in a collaborative learning environment with students working in groups under the guide of a facilitator.
FYSM 1000 - First Year Seminar
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2018 / Fall 2019
Provide first year students with an immersive experience in an interdisciplinary topic that addresses current issues including social, technical and global topics.
