This course provides extra support for students concurrently enrolled in MATH-201 by introducing fundamental algebraic concepts within an underlying framework of statistics and mathematical modeling based on real-world data. Major concepts and themes include: problem solving and experimental design; unit analysis and error in measurement; dimensional analysis and scientific notation; representing data and coordinate graphing; introduction to basic descriptive statistics and probability theorems; basic geometric principles (area, volume, perimeter); arithmetic operations on numbers, ratios, summations, and percents; solution of formulas; modeling relationships (linear regression); solving equations and inequalities; and function arithmetic and graphing.
