Introduction to Mathematical Modeling

Catalog description

This course is an introduction to mathematical modeling using graphical, numerical, symbolic, and verbal techniques to describe and explore real-world data and phenomena. Emphasis is on the use of elementary functions to investigate and analyze applied problems and questions, supported by the use of appropriate technology, and on effective communication of quantitative concepts and results. NOTE: This course is an alternative in Area A of the General Education Core Curriculum and is not intended to supply sufficient algebraic background for students who intend to take College Algebra, Pre-calculus, or Calculus. Students may not receive credit for both MATH 1001 and MATH 1101 .
