QUANTITATIVE REASONING PLUS (KMCR)

Catalog description

(Equivalent to MATH 10051 ) In the broadest sense, mathematics should provide students the needed quantitative tools, logical reasoning and problem-solving skills, as well as a sense that quantitative modeling can be used to describe and understand developments in many areas of daily living. Since critical thinking is the course's primary objective and outcome - in each area of concentration (numeracy, mathematical modeling, probability and statistics) - students need to read and glean information from the problem situation, convert the information into a usable form, perform any needed routine calculations, make or draw a conclusion and communicate the result via explanation using quantitative reasoning by writing coherent statements and paragraphs. This course also provides just-in-time remediation to help students achieve the same learning outcomes as MATH 10051 . Students who do not meet the prerequisites but do have a minimum of 3.0 high school GPA should contact the department for approval to register.
