Description
Students in this course will experience a broad range of business, social science and science applications of pre-calculus mathematics. The course will have three learning emphases: setting up applications for solutions using technology (graphing calculators and Microsoft EXCEL), finding and interpreting solutions, and refining a sense of numbers in the context of the applications. Topics will include systems of equations, linear programming, linear, exponential, and quadratic equations and finance mathematics (loans, interest, annuities, amortization, and sinking funds). Offered Fall and Spring semesters. Prerequisite(s): C or better in MATH 096 or equivalent or MATH 140.
