This course uses graphical, numerical, symbolic, and verbal techniques to describe and explore real-world data and phenomena.
Functions introduced through applications are the main focus of the course.
This course is intended for non-science majors. As a result of completing this course, 1. Students will be able to identify and represent functions verbally, numerically, graphically, and symbolically, and to convert from one representation to another as appropriate. All students will become familiar with linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, and direct and inverse variation functions. Most functions will be introduced in application settings and students will use functions to answer questions related to the application.
