Course Objectives:
  • Demonstrate properties of matrices.
  • Recognize patterns in sequences and series (arithmetic and geometric) to determine terms and find sums, using sigma notation as appropriate.
  • Prove statements using mathematical induction.
  • Expand powers of binomials using the Binomial Theorem.
