Quantitative Reasoning

Catalog description

Prerequisite: A student must meet ONE of the following criteria to register for this course: • Math 1115 • Math 1116 with a grade of C or higher • Math 1118 • Three High school STEM or Core Math courses with grades of B or higher • ACT Math score of 22 or higher • SAT Math score of 530 or higher • Accuplacer QAS with a score of 263 or higher Corequisite: MATH 1025 Quantitative Reasoning Corequisite This college level mathematics course is designed for students seeking non-STEM degrees. It is a quantita- tive reasoning course focusing on thought processes involved when investigating situations described by measurements. Three threads define the curriculum: 1) Numeracy. Students will develop and use concepts of numeracy to investigate and explain quantitative relationships and solve problems in a variety of real world contexts. 2) Mathematical Modeling. Students will make decisions by analyzing mathematical models, including situations in which the student must rec- ognize and/or make assumptions. 3) Probability and Statistics. Students will use the language and structure of statistics and probability to investigate, represent, make decisions, and draw conclusions from real-world contexts. The classroom is designed to be an active learning experience supported by student communica- tion.
