Introduction to Mathematical Modeling Support

Catalog description

(3) Credit Hours Co-requisite: MATH 1101* MATH 0998A: This 3 credit hour course is designed to support a student taking MATH 1101* with just in time assistance. Topics will be parallel topics being studied in MATH 1101* as well as the essential algebraic skills needed to be successful in MATH 1101* . Students who have successfully completed this course will: 1) Model situations from a variety of settings in mathematical forms by extracting quantitative data from a given situation, translating the data into information in various modes, evaluating the information , abstracting essential information, making logical deductions, and arriving at reasonable conclusions; 2) Manipulate mathematical information, concepts, and thoughts in verbal, numeric, graphical and symbolic form while solving a variety of problems; 3) Solve multiple-step problems through different (inductive, deductive and symbolic ) modes of reasoning; 4) Express mathematical information , concepts, and thoughts in verbal, numeric, graphical and symbolic form while solving a variety of problems; 5) Shift among the verbal, numeric, graphical and symbolic modes of considering relationships; 6) Use appropriate technology in the evaluation, analysis, and synthesis of information in problem-solving situations.
