Math 123
Math 123 satisfies the general education requirement in mathematics. The major topics for Math 123 are:
- Functions
- Consumer Mathematics
- Apportionment
- Voting
- Counting
- Probability
- Graphs
The goals for Math 123 are:
- To develop the ability of students not majoring in mathematics related disciplines to think logically and creatively about quantitative problems, use mathematical reasoning, and be able to interpret, develop, and use basic mathematical models of real world phenomena;
- To focus on mathematical applications relevant to students as informed consumers, decision-makers, and educated citizens;
- To demonstrate the use of mathematics as a powerful language in many disciplines and its significant role in human development;
- To use mathematical tools developed in precollege mathematics courses to solve problems and develop models, including basic arithmetic and algebraic manipulations and familiarity with polynomial and exponential functions.
The links below refer specifically to Math 123 in the current term or in the last term that I taught the course. I only update these web pages if I am currently teaching Math 123. I appreciate any suggestions or comments about these web pages from my students or others.
