MTH 125Mathematical Problem Solving in
Performing Arts and Entertainment 3 This course is designed for students in the performing arts interested in using a problem-based learning model to build the foundation of skills they will need for their future careers. Throughout the course students will engage in practical problems around challenges that require the application of mathematical thinking and skills, such as set design, the budgets of producing a show and determining how to set ticket prices. Ideas explored may include set theory (with Venn diagrams), units of measure, proportions, modeling techniques, using simple statistical analysis, development and interpretation of tables and graphs, and linear and exponential growth. Offered on an as-needed basis. Fulfills the Core Mathematics requirement.

Biological Sciences 3 The biological sciences rely upon a strong mathematical foundation directed toward field-specific applications of algebraic problem solving and data. This course is designed to provide the mathematical skills needed for success in nursing, the allied health sciences, biological research, and the life sciences. Using examples from these fields, students will be given the chance to use a wide range of mathematical skills in the contexts they will see in future classes as well as in their careers. An emphasis will be placed on the ability to articulate why a problem was solved in a certain way and the implications in clinical and research situations. This course is open to students in all majors but will be focused on the applied mathematics required for students in the biological sciences. Offered every fall semester. This course fulfills the Core Mathematics requirement.
This course is the gateway to the study of higher mathematics. It is useful preparation for courses with quantitative content. Topics include rational expressions and equations; radicals and exponents; linear, quadratic, and polynomial functions; function theory and graphing; introduction to function composition and inverse functions; exponential and logarithmic functions; and an introduction and application of trigonometry concepts. Offered every fall semester, as needed. This course fulfills the Core Mathematics requirement. Dean College Academic Catalog 2025–2026
This course provides an overview of those topics in algebra and trigonometry that are needed for calculus and the physical sciences. Topics include basic algebra and graphing techniques, function and inverse function theory, exponential and logarithmic functions, and trigonometric functions and graphs. Prerequisite: a grade of a “B” or better in MTH 155 or a grade of “C–” or better in MTH 151 or by math placement. Offered every spring semester, as needed. This course fulfills the Core Mathematics requirement.
Reasoning 3 This course is designed to help students gain a deeper understanding of fundamental concepts of numerical and mathematical reasoning applied to a wide range of common tasks, such as calculating interest rates on a consumer credit card, understanding polling results, estimating a population growth, or analyzing one’s risk of contracting a virus by holding a doorknob. The course will employ various analytical techniques in situations encountered in personal and professional applications with a focus on numeracy, mathematical modeling, analyzing, and recognizing trends, graphing, calculating, and interpreting descriptive data summaries. Offered every semester. This course fulfills the Core Mathematics requirement.
