Foundations of Mathematics for Non-STEM Non-Algebra Majors

Catalog description

Intended for Non STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) majors. In particular, students who are majoring in fields considered to be in the "liberal arts" (students who will not be continuing in an Algebra-intensive math pathway), and who are not TSI complete, will take this course. Course topics include: sets, Venn diagrams, basic arithmetic/algebra operations, rational expressions, exponents and radicals, evaluating formulas, Fundamental Counting Principles, Summation and subscript notation, dimensional analysis, graphing, and the beauty of mathematics. The course helps prepare students for further study in first year college level non-STEM math courses. This course is considered developmental and may not be used to satisfy any mathematics or degree requirements.
