MATH 81: Topics in Geometry

Course Description

This course will focus on basic concepts of Geometry and real-world objects, as well as to understand the principles of inductive and deductive reasoning. Students will learn to understand common geometric terminology and to recognize geometric shapes. This course study will incorporate the ability to be able to estimate, measure, and deduce measures of length, angles, area, and volume, to understand concepts relating to triangles and quadrilaterals, to learn the Pythagorean Theorem and how to apply it, and to be able to use formulas appropriately for finding perimeter, area, surface area, and volume. Only students who have not taken Geometry in high school will be required to take this course. This course does not count toward the 120 credits necessary for graduation. A grade of D or better is required to remove this mathematics deficiency.
