Examines dance through lectures and viewing dance performances both live and on video. Presents the developments of dance within each of the major genres and analyzes the factors which have influenced change in dance historically, culturally, and as an art form. Transfer credit: CSU; UC. Formerly: DANC M01A.

Examines the relationships which exist between two important branches of mechanics, namely, statics and strength of materials. Applies the principles of statics to the study of forces both external and internal to the body, moments and couples, responsible for maintaining a state of equilibrium. Uses the principles of strength to investigate the effects of external and internal loadings on the stability and deformation of the body. Analyzes two- and three-dimensional force systems including frictional forces, support reactions, and distributed forces with respect to rigid bodies, trusses, frames, machines, beams, and shafts. Incorporates concepts of centroids, area moments of inertia, stresses, strains, Mohr’s Circle, shear and bending moment diagrams, ductile and brittle failure theories, and deformations associated with axial, torsional, and flexural loadings. Surveys analysis of statically indeterminate axially loaded members. Prerequisites: PHYS M20A and PHYS M20AL and MATH M25B or MATH M25BH or concurrent enrollment in MATH M25B or MATH M25BH. Transfer credit: CSU; UC.

In this course, students receive instruction in academic reading and writing, including writing processes, effective use of language, analytical thinking, and the foundations of academic research. Emphasizes expository writing and research, demonstrating principles of thesis and support, rhetorical organization, control of diction, clear sentence and paragraph construction, and command of the conventions of English usage. Develops analytical and interpretive reading skills. Field trips may be required. Prerequisites: Placement as determined by the college's multiple measures assessment process. Transfer credit: CSU; UC. Notes: Prior to Common Course Numbering, this course was known as ENGL M01A.

This course is an introduction to statistical thinking and processes, including methods and concepts for discovery and decision-making using data. Topics include descriptive statistics; probability and sampling distributions; statistical inference; correlation and linear regression; analysis of variance, chi-squared, and t-tests; and application of technology for statistical analysis including the interpretation of the relevance of the statistical findings. Students apply methods and processes to applications using data from a broad range of disciplines. Course Credit Limitations: MC, CSU, and UC - Credit will not be awarded for both the honors and regular versions of a course. Credit will be awarded only for the first course completed with a grade of “C” or better or "P". Moorpark College Honors Program requires a letter grade. Credit Limitation: MC and CSU: STAT C1000, STAT C1000H, MATH M15, MATH M15H, PSY M125 and SOC M125 combined: maximum credit, 1 course; UC: STAT C1000, STAT C1000H, MATH M15, MATH M15H, MATH M37DS, PSY M125 and SOC M125 combined: maximum credit, 1 course. Prerequisites: Placement as determined by the college’s multiple measures assessment process or completion of a course taught at or above the level of intermediate algebra. Notes: Prior to Common Course Numbering, this course was known as MATH M15.Transfer credit: CSU; UC. Formerly: MATH M15.
