MAT090 Mathematical Literacy for College Students

This is a one semester course integrating numeracy, data analysis, proportional reasoning, algebraic reasoning, and functions. Students will develop conceptual and procedural tools that support the use of key mathematical concepts in a variety of contexts, including statistics and geometry. The focus of the course is developing mathematical maturity through problem solving, critical thinking, writing, and communication of mathematics. Content is developed in an integrated fashion, increasing in depth as the course progresses. Upon completion of the course, students will be prepared for a general education course in statistics, quantitative reasoning, or mathematics. PLEASE NOTE: This course is a developmental course and does not carry graduation credit. It is not usually transferable. Since developmental courses are mandated courses, students who do not meet the exit criteria of a grade of C or higher for math will be required to repeat them.
