Description

Objective:

The course objective is to understand and apply fundamental mathematical and statistical concepts. Students will learn how basic algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, and probability can be used in real-world applications.

Learning Outcomes:

  • evaluate slope types, inequalities, and various function types (basic, compound, inverse, etc.) and solve them
  • demonstrate an understanding of mathematical transformations, translations, dilations, rotations, and reflections
  • compare different units of measurement and convert them from one system to another
  • discover and compare trigonometry fundamentals
  • examine and critique statistics, populations, samplings, and the applications for each
  • develop knowledge of calculating and identifying probability, with dependent and complex events, and in permutations
  • evaluate and compute mathematical methods used to determine election results
  • analyze probability distributions, including area under the normal curve using z-scores
  • calculate values regarding financial management such as compound interest, sinking funds, and rois.
