MATH 1001 - Special Topics Surv Tech Math

Description
Allows students who have completed MTCM 1003 - Communication and Math for Workforce Readiness, to complete their remaining AAS degree specific modules from MATH 1003 that were not covered in MTCM 1003. MATH 1003 - Survey of Technical Math contains modularized mathematics curriculum. Upon entry, students who have completed MTCM 1003 will have already completed some of these modules. Completion of both MTCM 1003 and MATH 1001 will result in substitute equivalency credit for MATH 1003. Students can only apply MTCM 1003 and MATH 1001 or MATH 1003, but not both, toward AAS degrees.
