Give math another chance! In this class, you will learn about the math involved in things like credit card debt or how much material you need for your patio. This course covers math concepts that you will use in your everyday life and that are relevant to your career. We will use websites, advertisements, and tax documents so that these math concepts are meaningful to you. You will have a ton of resources to draw upon when you finish this course, you will be well prepared for your college-level mathematics course.
Foundations of Mathematical ReasoningMATH 0309
What are the hidden mathematics in your life? How can math help you be more informed about your finances, your health, and the world around you? In this class, we will use data that you are likely to en-counter in your everyday life (e.g., your personal budget, career sala-ries) and math that you are likely to encounter in your professional life (e.g., how to test the safety of new medical treatments, how we mea-sure the growth of human population).

What are the hidden mathematics in your life? How can math help you be more informed about your finances, your health, and the world around you? In this class, we will use data that you are likely to encounter in your everyday life (e.g., your personal budget, career salaries) and math that you are likely to encounter in your professional life (e.g., how to test the safety of new medical treatments, how we measure the growth of human population).
Elementary Statistical Methods(Statistical Reasoning)
MATH 1342
Are you interested in pursuing a field in science, technology, or engineering? Are you discouraged because math seems like a foreign language that keeps you from pursuing these fields? If so, then the STEM-Prep pathway is for you! This pathway is specifically designed to help you connect important mathematics concepts to various STEM fields. You will have the opportunity to join a supportive math community and become a strong problem solver. After completing this pathway, you will be able to apply what you have learned, and be ready to take calculus!
