Transfers ToCSUCSU GE Area B4DescriptionThis is the second of a two-course integrated sequence in algebra, geometry, critical thinking, and practical applications of mathematics. This course focuses on the ability to use mathematical concepts to develop quantitative analysis, logic and computation skills. Students analyze, construct, and dissect algebraic topics from the perspective of implementing the concepts in various real life situations and develop a strong mathematical foundation applicable to problem solving in other academic disciplines. Topics include rules of logic, in particular focusing on implications; mathematical reading; algebra of functions; graphing and analysis of functions; reading, interpreting and analyzing graphs; linear, quadratic, exponential and logarithmic modeling; solving polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic equations; applications of mathematics in finance and economics. This course is intended for students planning to major in any of the following fields of study: Fine Arts, Visual and Performing Arts, Humanities, Behavioral Sciences, Social Sciences, Business, Economics, or Life Sciences. This course is not intended for students planning to major in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields of study.
