5.00 Credits
An introduction to descriptive and inferential statistics for liberal arts, psychology, and human service students whose background in mathematics is insufficient for LAM216 Statistical Methods. This course teaches students how to think about statistical issues and de-emphasizes mathematical computation. Its purpose is to help students analyze data and use basic statistical methods with understanding. Topics include: experimental design, data distributions, graphing techniques, measures of central tendency and dispersion, the normal curve, correlation, regression, and hypothesis testing. A graphing calculator will be required for this course. This course does not apply toward any math concentration and is not IAI transferable as a general education mathematics requirement. Note: Since LAM106 and LAM216 cover essentially the same topics, but at two different levels, they may not both be taken for graduation credit. Prerequisites: LAM100B (Basic Algebra) or equivalent or placement. Counts in the Quantitative Reasoning Area of General Education Requirements. 5 quarter hours
-
3.00 Credits
An entry-level survey course providing students with a strong base of knowledge about the broad aspects of microcomputer utilization. Acquisition of rudimentary knowledge of data bases, spread sheets, word processing, and software selection through extensive demonstration and hands-on experience. Not

5.00 Credits
This course introduces statistical ideas needed by educated people in the twenty-first century. Students are presented with the basic language, symbols, and computational tools of data analysis to explore real-world problems. Use of statistical reasoning to gain insight and draw conclusions from observations is covered. Topics include: experimental design, displaying data, measures of center and spread, normal distributions, percentiles, simple linear regression and correlation, probability laws, and confidence intervals. This course counts in the Quantitative Reasoning area of general education. This course cannot be used to satisfy requirements or electives in majors, minors, or concentrations in mathematics. Prerequisite(s): Placement or LAM100B Basic Algebra. Students cannot receive credit for both LAM109 Statistical Literacy and LAM106 Basic Statistics or both LAM109 Statistical Literacy and LAM216 Statistical Methods. 5 quarter hours

5.00 Credits
Mathematical Ideas This course provides the basic preparation for more specialized courses in mathematics as determined by the student's major. The intermediate algebra topics of the course are a prerequisite for transferable college mathematics courses. Topics include graphical, symbolic, and numeric solutions of problems, number systems, integer and rational exponents, radicals, functions, first and second degree equations and inequalities, systems of equations and inequalities, measurement, and geometry. Although emphasis is placed on the development of algebraic skills, problem solving is a main component of the course. A graphing calculator is required. The course does not apply toward a math concentration or major and is not IAI transferable as a general education requirement. Prerequisites: LAM100A and LAM100B or placement. Counts in the Quantitative Reasoning Area of General Education Requirements. 5 quarter hours

1.00 Credits
This module surveys exponential and logarithmic functions and their graphs, computations with logarithms and computational right triangle trigonometry and their applications. Required of Allied Health students who take LAM110 College Mathematics to fulfill their mathematics requirement. To be taken on a Pass/No Credit basis. This course may be applied as a free elective, but not toward a mathematics major or minor concentration. Prerequisite: LAM110 or concurrent enrollment. Counts in the Quantitative Reasoning Area of General Education Requirements. 1 quarter hour

5.00 Credits
(formerly Concepts of Mathematics) This course focuses on mathematical reasoning and problem solving. It examines the underlying conceptual framework of the elementary mathematics topics of sets, numeration and number systems, whole number operations, number theory, and operations and algorithms using rational numbers expressed as fractions and decimals. Estimation, models, graphs, and manipulatives are used in a variety of problem-solving situations. The two course sequence of LAM112 and LAM213 is required for students in Early Childhood Teacher Education and Elementary Teacher Education. A weekly lab component is required. Prerequisites: LAM110 or placement. Counts in the Quantitative Reasoning Area of General Education Requirements. 5 quarter hours

5.00 Credits
This course extends basic algebra skills to graphing relationships in two variables. It provides a bridge between basic algebra and intermediate algebra. The course develops the graphical, symbolic, and numerical approaches to problemsolving. Topics include: first and second degree equations and inequalities, integer and rational exponents, functions, and systems of equations. Emphasis is placed on developing graphing and algebraic skills in the solutions of problems. This course is not IAI transferable as a general education requirement. This course cannot be used to satisfy mathematics course requirements or mathematics course electives for majors, minors, or concentrations in mathematics. This course counts in the Quantitative Reasoning Area of General Education. Prerequisite(s): Placement or LAM100B Basic Algebra. Students cannot receive credit for both LAM113 Basic Applications of Math and LAM110 College Mathematics. 5 quarter hours

5.00 Credits
This course develops conceptual understanding and analytical skills dealing with quantities and their interrelationships using technology (calculators, computers) as a tool. The course includes representing and analyzing data using correlation and regression, the normal distribution and chi-square distribution, and statistical measures such as central tendency and dispersion. The course emphasizes the use of logical arguments; estimating, approximating, and judging the reasonableness of answers; graphing using polynomial equations; solving systems of equations and inequalities, and selecting and using appropriate approaches and tools in formulation and solution of real-world problems. This course applies toward the mathematics concentration. This course counts in the Quantitative Reasoning Area of General Education requirements. Prerequisite(s): LAM220 and LAM307. 5 quarter hours
