    Description
    Prerequisite: Completion of the Mission College Placement Process prior to registration This course fulfills the graduation competency requirement for Associate degree and the general education requirement in mathematics for the CSU system. It introduces critical thinking techniques in areas of mathematics that include, but not limited to sequences and series, probability and statistics, countable and uncountable sets, cryptography and number theory, history of mathematics, mathematics in art and nature, the Pythagorean Theorem, and methods of proof, and game theory. There is an emphasis on general problem solving techniques as the class explores mathematics that may will be unfamiliar to most students, and communicate mathematics through class activities and write-ups.
