College Mathematics ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

This course provides students with the opportunity to strengthen college mathematics skills prior to enrollment in more advanced courses. The student will have the opportunity to further develop the skills and confidence needed to be successful in other courses that require college-level quantitative skills, including statistics. Topics include employing quantitative methods to solve problems, determining the reasonableness of results, and recognizing the limits of mathematical methods. Fluency with the use of integers, rational numbers, exponents, expressions, equations, inequalities, inductive and deductive reasoning, algebraic problem solving, graphs, geometry, measurement, and the use of probability and statistics will be furthered. Notes: This course overlaps with algebra. A student should seriously consider which course is appropriate, depending on math background, comfort and goals. This study is appropriate for students who need general education credit in mathematics.
