MATH 1103 Quantitative Skills and Reasoning

Focuses on quantitative skills and reasoning in the context of experiences that students will be likely to encounter. The course emphasizes processing information in context from a variety of representations, understanding of both the information and the processing, and understanding which conclusions can be reasonably determined. Students will use appropriate technology to enhance mathematical thinking and understanding. Topics covered in this course include: sets and set operations, logic, basic probability, data analysis, linear models, quadratic models, exponential and logarithmic models, geometry, and financial management. This course does not fulfill the math requirement for some Health Sciences programs. Consult an advisor and the specific program information pages of this catalog for required course(s). Students wishing to transfer to a four-year institution should note that this course is to be used in lieu of MATH 1100 and 1101 for non-science, non-math, and non-engineering majors and will be articulated to USG institutions in Area A for appropriate majors. Science, math, and engineering majors must take MATH 1111 or higher.
