Optional text: For All Practical Purposes: Mathematical Literacy in Today's World, 7th ed., W. H. Freeman and Co.
This course serves as an introduction to selected areas of mathematics through applications to real-world problems. We will discuss ways of representing a situation using mathematics and understanding the methods that are used to solve these problems. You will learn by doing hands-on examples in class and in the homework. The goal is to develop analytic problem solving skills that you can apply in your everyday life.
