Mathematical Reasoning

Catalog description

All college students, regardless of their college major, need to be able to make reasonable decisions about fiscal, environmental and health issues that require quantitative reasoning skills. An activity-based approach is used to explore numerical relationships, graphs, proportional relationships, algebraic reasoning and problem- solving using linear, exponential and other mathematical models. Students will develop conceptual and procedural tools that support the use of key mathematical concepts in a variety of contexts. This course may be used as the first of a two-part sequence that ends with MATH-135 Quantitative Reasoning as the capstone general education math requirement.
