MATH 103 Topics for Mathematical Literacy Credit 3
Topics for Mathematical Literacy is a college-level mathematics course designed for college students who do not expect to need college algebra, a statistics course, or a higher-level mathematics course. The goal of the course is to focus on subjects that could be of value to students, and help to make them mathematically literate. Topics for Mathematical Literacy include five major components: exponential and logarithmic thinking, personal finance (including interest rates and annuities), basic logical thinking, basic principles of probability, and statistical reasoning. These topics need to be covered but not necessarily in this order or in this fashion. This course is not intended to satisfy the prerequisite requirement for any course.
