Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the use of technology to solve problems and to analyze and communicate results. This course provides an introduction in a non-technical setting to selected topics in mathematics. Topics include, but are not limited to, sets, logic, probability, statistics, matrices, mathematical systems, geometry, topology, mathematics of finance, and modeling. Upon completion, students should be able to understand a variety of mathematical applications, think logically, and be able to work collaboratively and independently. This course is a laboratory for MAT 140.
Emphasis is placed on experiences that enhance the materials presented in the class.
Upon completion, students should be able to solve problems, apply critical thinking, work in teams, and communicate effectively. This course provides a project-based approach to the study of basic probability, descriptive and inferential statistics, and decision making. Emphasis is placed on measures of central tendency and dispersion, correlation, regression, discrete and continuous probability distributions, quality control, population parameter estimation, and hypothesis testing. Upon completion, students should be able to describe important characteristics of a set of data and draw inferences about a population from sample data. This course is a laboratory for MAT 151.
