MATH 94 - Mathematical Literacy for College Students

This course helps students to use numbers to understand the world around us, to reason using ratios and proportions, and to perform basic algebraic steps to use and solve formulas and to model real life situations. All problems are based on real and interesting situations that students may meet in their lives and in their other college courses. The course prepares students to take a college-level, not-STEM course in mathematics, such as MATH 116 The Development of Mathematical Thought , MATH 117 Contemporary Mathematics , or MATH 123 Math for Elementary School Teachers .

Notes:

This course is NOT sufficient preparation for MATH 130 College Algebra: Functions & Models  or MATH 135 College Algebra with Trigonometry . Students in curricula which require MATH 130 College Algebra: Functions & Models  or MATH 135 College Algebra with Trigonometry , or courses for which they are prerequisites, should not enroll in Mathematical Literacy for College Students.
Class Hours: 4
Prerequisites: Math placement at Beginning Algebra level MATH 92 Prealgebra , or successful completion of MATH 93 Beginning Algebra .
