Technical Mathematics

Catalog description

This technical mathematics course specializes in the application of mathematics to the engineering technologies. The course emphasizes critical thinking by placing students in problem-solving situations and supporting students as they learn to make decisions, carry out plans, and judge results. Within contextualized situations, students will use concepts and skills associated with measurement, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and vectors as tools as they develop the algebraic and analytical skills necessary in engineering technologies. A scientific calculator that is capable of solving vectors, complex numbers and simultaneous equations, such as the TI-36X or Casio FX-115, is required for the course.
