MATH 1003 - Survey of Technical Math

Description
This course is designed to meet the needs for a college level mathematics course for AAS programs. It is recommended that students intending to earn a baccalaureate degree take College Algebra. This course will include a review of basic arithmetic skills such as ratios, proportions, percent, and metric conversions focusing on applications of these topics. Primary focus of the course may include a variety of skills from areas such as financial mathematics, regression analysis, statistics, math history, and math as art. This is an application oriented course with a project component and is designed to be flexible to accommodate the differing needs of people in various AAS programs. Some sections have a required EMPACTS lab component to build team and technology skills.

Pre-Requisite
Completion of MATH 0053 or higher-level Mathematics course with a grade greater than or equal to C, completion of MTCM 1003 with a grade greater than or equal to C, or received an appropriate placement score (see placement chart).
