MAT-1150 Quantitative Modeling and Reasoning

4 Credits
Intended for students who need only one general education mathematics course not specified in their program. This course includes support in intermediate algebra as needed to study concepts in modern mathematics and their applications. Linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic functions are used to represent problems across a variety of contexts and disciplines. Structures and algorithms are used to model and make decisions in social choice, management science, art and nature, and consumer finance. Students must pass an algebra competency exam, offered mid-semester, to receive credit for this course. MAT-1150 is a terminal course and will not serve as preparation or prerequisite for any other mathematics course. Credit will not be awarded for both MAT-1130 and MAT-1150. Math general education class.
Prerequisite(s): math placement score and permission of the Mathematics Department.
3 class/2 lab hours.
Students must enroll in a general education math course appropriate for their program of study within their first 18 hours of credit-bearing courses. A grade of C or higher is required for any course used to satisfy a prerequisite for any other math course. All mathematics courses require extensive use of a computer and/or a graphing calculator. Chapter six provides an overview of the sequences of courses offered by the Mathematics Department. Course descriptions should be checked for specific prerequisites. In addition, all math courses have a prerequisite of reading proficiency.
