This course provides a non-calculus treatment of topics in Probability and Statistics. Lessons include a brief review of set operations, definitions and examples of sample space and probability of events, random variables, various discrete and continuous distributions, mean, variance and general expectations, sampling, tests of hypothesis for mean and variance, and power of tests.

This course includes an introduction to sets, set notation, the properties of real numbers and the real number system. It also covers various topics in algebra including factoring algebraic expressions and arithmetic operations involving polynomial, rational and exponential expressions.  Principal roots are covered, as is the connection between exponential and radical notation. The properties of inequalities and absolute values are introduced, and techniques for solving linear, non-linear and absolute value equalities and inequalities are presented. The material on functions includes the combination and composition of functions and the determination of the domain of combined and composed functions.  Inverse functions are examined, and the properties of logarithmic and exponential functions are studied along with some applications to "real-world" problems.

The subject of this course is the design, analysis and implementation of algorithms. It examines the relationship between problem solving and algorithms, the design of algorithms using pseudocode; sequence, selection and iteration; and abstraction (functions), and the correctness and efficiency of algorithms. Algorithms for tasks such as searching, sorting and pattern matching will be introduced and analyzed. Algorithms will be implemented in a high-level programming language as programs using appropriate data types, statements and methods. The use of compilers, interpreters and virtual machines in executing programs will be studied. An introduction to object-oriented programming, classes and objects will be given.
