MATH 1213 - Quantitative Literacy* 3 Credits
Quantitative Literacy will provide the student with an approach to problem solving through logic and reasoning. It is used to identify, analyze, generalize and communicate quantitative relationships. Topics include: Personal, State, and National Finance, Statistics and Probability, Functions and Modeling, and Quantities and Measurements. This course will satisfy the general education math requirement for students pursuing a degree which does not require College Algebra or any other higher level math course.
Prerequisite: Appropriate placement score , or instructor consent. A corequistite review course may be required based on placement score.
Corequisite: LAD 9081 Quantitative Literacy Review if indicated by placement score . Withdrawal from either class results in withdrawal from both classes.
Course Level Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
1. Compare and analyze interest rates and budget strategies of loans and investments to identify patterns and predict productive personal, state, and national finance decisions. (GEO 2, 3)
2. Model and describe mathematical representations of numerical patterns and functions which lead to solutions of problems based in the context of everyday life. (GEO 2, 3)
3. Explain the effects of changing parameters on mathematical models and describe how patterns can be used to estimate solutions to real-life contextual problems. (GEO 1, 2, 3)
4. Gather, organize, and compare statistical data to explain data relationships by constructing and interpreting graphs, charts, tables, and diagrams. (GEO 2, 3)
5. Build and interpret models for bivariate data sets then use results to predict outcomes and make decisions. (GEO 2, 3)
6. Calculate and interpret statistical and probabilistic reasoning to predict productive decisions and evaluate outcomes. (GEO 3)
7. Use technology to collaborate, solve problems, represent data, and present solutions. (GEO 1, 3, 4)
8. Demonstrate professional characteristics through verbal and written communication, team collaboration, organization, neatness, and overall self-presentation. (GEO 1, 3, 4)
