MATH 110 (Elementary Mathematical Models)
| DESCRIPTION |
In MATH 110 our goal is to convey the power of mathematics as
shown
by the variety of problems which can be modeled and solved by
quantitative
means. Topics include data analysis, systems of equations and
inequalities,
elementary linear programming, the mathematics of finance and
probability.
The course includes applications of these topics to problem solving and
decision making in economics, management, and social sciences. |
| PREREQUISITE |
Satisfactory score on Math Department placement exam or
completion
of the appropriate modules of MATH 003. The course is not
open to students majoring in mathematics, engineering, business, life
sciences, and the physical sicences, or to students who have completed
MATH 140 of MATH 220, or any course for which MATH 140 or MATH 220 is a
prerequisite. Credit will be granted for only one of the
following: MATH 110, MATH 112, or MATH 113.
