Transfers ToNot transferableDescriptionThis course introduces algebra topics and the basic elements of exploratory data analysis needed for Introduction to Statistics (STAT C1000 – formerly MATH 54) and Finite Mathematics (MATH 21). Course topics include number and operation sense with regard to whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, mixed numbers, decimals, grouping symbols, order of operations, estimation and approximation, scientific notation, ratios, percents, proportions, formulas and algebraic expressions, linear equations and inequalities in one variable, analyzing and producing data, sample statistics and graphs, functions, systems of linear equations, and probability. MATH 50 is designed for students who are only required to complete Introduction to Statistics (STAT C1000 – formerly MATH 54) or Finite Mathematics (MATH 21). Students who plan to take a non-math course which lists MATH 20 or MATH 31 as a pre-requisite should take those courses unless otherwise advised by the department offering the non-math course. This course is not intended as a preparation for precalculus or calculus. Students planning to take Precalculus (MATH 2) must complete Intermediate Algebra (MATH 20).
