Its purpose is to develop an awareness of the use of mathematics in the world around us. Emphasis will be on the communication of mathematical ideas, problem solving, applications, the historical, diverse and cultural nature of mathematics. This course contains the same content as MATH 100, but includes more instruction time to help students who can benefit from additional support. Topics are selected from: problem-solving, set theory, logic and reasoning, historical and other bases number systems, number theory, geometry, graph theory, cryptography, counting methods, probability, and statistics. A review of prerequisite core concepts and college success content will be integrated throughout the course. Active learning techniques involving multiple modalities that include individual and/or group active learning projects/activities and/or student presentations will be used. Students who receive credit for MATH 100E may not receive credit for MATH 100.Usually HeldMon 8:00am–10:05am, Thu 6:00pm–9:05pm, Tue 6:00pm–8:05pm, Wed 7:45am–10:50am
