M1 904 General Education Mathematics: (3-4 Semester Credits)
Focuses on mathematical reasoning and the solving of real-life problems and appreciation, rather than on routine skills. Three or four topics are studied in depth, with at least three chosen from the following list:
· geometry
· counting techniques and probability (both are required for this topic)
· graph theory
· logic and set theory (both are required for this topic)
· mathematical modeling
· mathematics of finance
· game theory
· linear programming, including the simplex method
· statistics
· voting and apportionment (both are required for this topic)
The use of calculators and computers are strongly encouraged. Prerequisite: A student in this course should be college-ready in mathematics as assessed by local institutions (for example: Intermediate Algebra with a C or better, placement, co-requisite course, multiple measures, transitional mathematics competencies, PMGE, or professional organization recommendations, etc.).
