    Description
    This course makes fundamental concepts and processes more meaningful for non-mathematics majors through a study of several mathematical topics. Scenarios found in technical careers will be used to help students further their understanding of mathematical concepts. Topics include linear functions in two variables, statistical analysis of data and graphs, exponential and logarithmic functions, dimensional analysis, trigonometry based on the right triangle, critical thinking, problem solving, and finance. In various projects in this course, students will have the opportunity to reflect on their personal experiences through interactions with their community.
