This course is designed primarily for students whose programs of study have no further mathematics requirements. Its purpose is to develop an understanding of numerical information as it is used in the modern world. This course contains the same content as MATH 101, but includes more instruction time to help students who can benefit from additional support. The course includes linear and exponential functions to model growth and decay processes and the effect of compounding interest in personal finance situations. Elementary probability theory to calculate the likelihood of events and descriptive statistics will be used to organize and make sense of data sets. 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.
