MATH 1213 - Math Reasoning* 3 Credits
Math Reasoning 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 Math Reasoning Review 1 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. Implement methods of unit analysis to convert measurements of length, volume, and mass. (GEO 2, 3)
