MATH110: Contemporary Mathematics
MATH110: Contemporary Mathematics
This course is designed primarily for non-STEM students and will transfer as fulfilling the mathematics requirement at many four-year institutions, but not at others. It is intended to give the student an appreciation of the wide applicability of mathematics to many fields of study. Topics include quantitative reasoning and numeracy, mathematical models, statistical reasoning, patterns in nature, voting schemes, and fair division schemes with emphasis on applications.
