18 courses with the subject MATH, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
3 sem. hrs. Offered at least annually. An introduction to some essential ideas, methods, and applications of mathematics. Topics include logic and deduction, problem solving, and numbers and numeracy. Tilings and symmetry, voting systems, and game theory will be covered as time permits.
