MATH 111: Workshop in Quantitative Reasoning (XM)

Course Description

This course is intended to develop quantitative reasoning through activities and discussion. Quantitative reasoning is the ability to use numbers and math to reason through and solve real-life problems. Topics include constructing and interpreting graphs, functional relationships, exponential growth, math of finance, basic probability, and descriptive statistics. This is a problem-based inquiry seminar: the environment is supported by small class sizes with opportunities for students to interact with each other and participate in their own learning. The course is intended for students whose majors do not require a strong foundation in algebra. Prerequisites: MATH 101 or 103 with a grade of C or better or placement.
