MATH 101(F) Mathematical Analysis with Descriptive Statistics
This course is intended to develop quantitative skills for non-science majors. We will cover basic algebra from an applied point of view, including working with formulas and solving for unknowns. We will investigate a variety of ways to model real-world problems. For example, how many handshakes away are you from the president and how is that related to a transportation network? We will cover basic finance, including loans and annuities. Finally, we will also cover descriptive statistics, including data analysis, computing with mean/median/variance, data display and contingency tables.
Format: lecture and computer lab. Evaluation will be based primarily on homework, quizzes and/or exams, and computer projects.
Prerequisites: placement by a Quantitative Studies Counselor. Enrollment limit: (expected: 10).
