Mathematics, Undergraduate School - Adjunct Faculty
Adjunct Faculty Mathematics and Statistics The Undergraduate School Location:
Waldorf, MD University of Maryland University College (UMUC) seeks adjunct faculty to teach in the Mathematics program.
Specifically, we are seeking faculty for the following course(s):
MATH 009 - Introductory Algebra:
A comprehensive review of real number properties and operations, including fractions, percentages, operations with signed numbers, and geometric formulas.
The objective is to develop fluency in the language of introductory algebra; develop number sense and estimation skills; and use mathematical modeling to translate, solve, and interpret applied problems.
Topics include linear equations and inequalities, equations of lines, graphs on number lines and rectangular coordinate systems, rules of exponents, and operations on polynomials.
MATH 012 - Intermediate Algebra:
A study of problem-solving techniques in intermediate-level algebra.
The goal is to demonstrate number sense and estimation skills; interpret mathematical ideas using appropriate terminology; manipulate, evaluate, and simplify real-number and algebraic expressions; and translate, solve, and interpret applied problems.
Emphasis is on numbers and algebraic properties, graphing skills, and applications drawn from a variety of areas (such as finance, science, and the physical world).
Topics include polynomials; factoring; exponents and their notation; rational expressions and equations; rational exponents and radical expressions; linear, quadratic, and other equations; and inequalities.
MATH 107 - College Algebra:
An introduction to equations and inequalities and a study of functions and their properties, including the development of graphing skills with polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
The objective is to apply appropriate technology and demonstrate fluency in the language of algebra; communicate mathematical ideas; perform operations on real numbers, complex numbers, and functions; solve equations and inequalities; analyze and graph circles and functions; and use mathematical modeling to translate, solve, and interpret applied problems.
Technology is used for data modeling.
Discussion also covers applications.
STAT 200 - Introduction to Statistics:
An introduction to statistics.
The objective is to assess the validity of statistical conclusions; organize, summarize, interpret, and present data using graphical and tabular representations; and apply principles of inferential statistics.
Focus is on selecting and applying appropriate statistical tests and determining reasonable inferences and predictions from a set of data.
Topics include methods of sampling; percentiles; concepts of probability; probability distributions; normal, t-, and chi-square distributions; confidence intervals; hypothesis testing of one and two means; proportions; binomial experiments; sample size calculations; correlation; regression; and analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Required Education and
Experience:
? PhD or EdD in Math, Stat, Education, Math education or related from an accredited institution of higher learning.
? Professional experience in Mathematics, Statistics or related fields ? You must meet the minimum technology requirements, which can be reviewed at ? Experience teaching adult learners online and in higher education is strongly preferred.
