Adjunct Faculty Open Rank – Mathematics (multiple positions) **FACULTY VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT** ADJUNCT FACULTY VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT – Math (multiple positions) Stella and Charles Guttman Community College at CUNY seeks adjunct faculty to teach first-year Statistics and College Algebra courses and second year Precalculus courses. The Statistics and College Algebra courses are primarily offered to first-year students participating in Guttman’s inquiry-based, first-year curriculum (“First-Year Experience” or “FYE”). Please visit our website to learn more about Guttman’s FYE: https://guttman.cuny.edu/academics/academic-programs/first-year-experience/ We are seeking adjunct faculty with availability to teach in the 12-week “Spring I” session (03/06/2025 to 06/16/2025). Additionally, candidates are sought with availability to teach courses in the mornings and afternoon hours. For this position, the successful candidate will possess expertise in statistical analysis, algebra, and/or calculus with a background in a mathematics or quantitative discipline that reflects qualification for and interest in this position. In addition, the successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to use effective pedagogical and technology-based strategies that enable the success of all students. Adjunct faculty perform teaching and guidance duties related to the course descriptions below. COURSE INFORMATION: MATH 103: Statistics This is an introductory statistics course, providing students with an in-depth understanding of the fundamental concepts and computational methods of statistics. These concepts will be developed through the question of how to estimate an unknown quantity using sample data. Students will learn to incorporate the foundational concepts of mathematics with statistical analysis to describe and solve real-life problems and questions. Students will be taught to use estimation and precision and will learn the math study skills to assess and enhance their learning, their processes and their results. Students will use statistical software, graphing calculators, Microsoft Excel, MyOpenMath, etc. to carry out a semester-long project involving data description and analysis. The topics addressed include: displaying categorical data using tables, bar graphs, and circle graphs; drawing conclusions about categorical data; displaying quantitative data using dot plots, stem-and-leaf plots, histograms and box-and-whisker plots; describing data distributions using measures of center (mode, mean, and median) and measures of spread (standard deviation, range and IQR); Displaying bivariate data using scatterplots; analyzing bivariate data using linear regression; elementary probability; normal probability distributions, sampling distributions; confidence intervals and hypothesis testing of the proportion and the mean. MATH 103A Statistics A & MATH 103B Statistics B MATH 103 A and MATH 103 B are a year-long version of MATH 103 offered in two sequential parts. MATH 120 College Algebra & Trigonometry This course serves to prepare students for the mathematics required in the majors and launch them on a trajectory to Calculus. Algebraic concepts and skills are explored in context, and developed through the manipulation of symbolic expressions, equations, and functions. Verbal, numerical, and graphical representations of functions are employed throughout, with a strong emphasis placed on developing conceptual understanding and procedural fluency. Topics include linear and quadratic equations; systems of linear equations; linear inequalities; radical equations; rational expressions; factoring polynomials; rules of exponents; an introduction to exponential, and logarithmic functions; right-triangle trigonometry; an introduction to radians and trigonometric functions in the unit circle; and modeling realistic situations with functions. Students will use graphing calculators and software to solve complex, real-world mathematical problems. Students will design and carry out a robust project involving algebraic analysis of a real-world issue of interest. MATH 201 – Precalculus This course is a comprehensive treatment of the conceptual and computational underpinnings of calculus. Precalculus extends and deepens the functions-based approach introduced in College Algebra & Trigonometry. Verbal, numerical, and graphical representations are employed throughout to analyze functions. Topics include polynomial and rational functions; absolute value; matrices; conic sections; transformations; factoring polynomials; trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions; inverse functions; rates of change; and modeling realistic situations with functions. Graphing calculators and software such as Microsoft Excel and Maple will be incorporated into all aspects of the course. Students will design and carry out a semester-long project involving advanced algebraic analysis of an issue attendant to New York City's development over time.
