This course, a survey of practical mathematics for students enrolled in certificate programs in technical areas that need mathematics at the pre-algebra level and only minimal skills in basic algebra. This course prepares students to use their math skills to compare and analyze mathematical applications. Topics include a basic math review; use of technology; systems of measurement; solutions of simple algebraic equations including ratio and proportion; algebraic graphs; practical plane geometry; solid geometry; right angle geometry; interpretation of data including formulas, graphs and tables; descriptive statistics; personal financial calculations; and vectors. Weekly laboratory experiences enhance classroom lecture to provide a more thorough understanding of concepts and topics through readings, group activities, discussions, demonstrations, projects, activities involving technology, hands-on construction, and models. 3 Credits (2.50 Lecture - 1.50 Lab)
