Description:

An approach to quantitative literacy in the 21st century. Intended to help students realize that mathematics is a useful tool for interpreting information; see mathematics as a way of viewing the world rather than memorizing formulas; and become comfortable using and interpreting mathematics outside the classroom. Topics drawn from function theory and statistics, both from the perspective of mathematical modeling. In addition to the traditional presentation of content, this course will include regular group exploratory activities as ways to access and understand mathematical concepts. Prerequisite: Math Proficiency level 3. Offered every semester. Students who earn a grade of C or better fulfill the mathematics proficiency requirement (at level 2B) for graduation. Not intended for students whose major requires additional mathematics, since it does not fulfill the prerequisite for MATHU 201, 203, 211, 225, or 231.
