This course is recommended for those who want a math class that will introduce areas that are covered at the entry level of college. The goal for this class is to integrate basic elementary matrix methods, sets, counting techniques, linear programming, modeling of real life situations through graph theory, data collection and analysis, fair and estate division, and apportionment. Many of the objectives require students to apply knowledge to new situations rather than following a procedure. A graphing calculator is required, and a TI-84 calculator is recommended.
