Explores the concept of a mathematical function and its applications. Explores real world examples and problems to enable students to create mathematical models that help them understand the world in which they live. Each idea will be represented symbolically, numerically, graphically, and verbally. Prerequisite: sufficient score on UWB Math Assessment.
Class description
Students will explore in great detail the concept of a mathematical function and its applications. Functions are the key to how mathematical models are built. A large number of real-world examples and problems (including messy data sets) will be explored in an effort to enable students to creat mathematical models that will help them understand the world in which we live.
Student learning goals
General method of instruction
The class will be taught with a mixture of group activities and labs, as well as interactive lectures.
Recommended preparation
Score of 40% or higher on the UWB math placement test.
Class assignments and grading
Assignments will consist of homework problems, labs, some written assignments as well as reading from the textbook and other supplemental readings.
Grades will be assigned based on class participation and performance on labs, homework/quizzes, the midterm and the final exam.
