    Description
    MATH 300 Introduction to Mathematical Ideas Units: 3 Hours: 36 hours LEC; 54 hours LAB Prerequisite: Intermediate Algebra or the equivalent Transferable: CSU; UC General Education: Local GE L2; Cal-GETC Area 2 Introduction to Mathematical Ideas allows liberal arts students to meet general education mathematics requirements while exploring concepts and objects of mathematics in a meaningful way. This course is designed to show some of the essence and quality of mathematics, and to enhance precision in the evaluation and expression of ideas, thereby developing a student's quantitative reasoning skills. It is recommended primarily for students who do not plan to major in a math- related field but may also be of interest to others. Course content may include topics from numeration systems, logic, geometry, probability, statistics, algebraic modeling, number theory, consumer mathematics, graph theory, voting and apportionment, and perhaps others; concepts of contemporary mathematics may be covered. Emphasis is placed on the deductive process.
