Statistics are all around us, from weather forecasts, opinion polls, and school ratings to insurance pricing and the stock market. This course is designed to provide learners with a solid foundation in statistical concepts and techniques with a particular emphasis on their real-world applications.

This is an introductory course designed to explore the core principles and frameworks of intersectionality and social transformation.

The purpose of this course is to relate college-level mathematics to real-life problems. We will emphasize problem-solving techniques, specifically by means of discussing concepts including sets, probability, statistics, finance, and geometry. Students will apply basic college-level mathematics to real-life problems. Appropriate for students whose major does not require MAT 117 or 170.

Atoms make up everything, but what does that really mean, what are atoms, and why should I care? In this course we explain from first principles, but in an easily understandable way, exactly how atoms make up everything, how the molecules of life and the materials of the world are formed, with an emphasis on how these materials and molecules do what they do.

Every day, computers and algorithms touch the lives of everyone around us in both mundane and profound ways. These algorithms are in the plants and distribution systems that bring you clean water and electricity, sensors that moderate the flow of traffic, in the tractors and combines that sow and harvest our food, and in the satellites that measure and predict the weather trends.

Do you ever think: “There has to be a better way!” Then engineering is for you! Engineering is for anyone with a passion for problem solving.

This online college algebra course equips you with the skills to effectively solve problems using algebraic reasoning. What sets this course apart from a standard algebra course is its strong emphasis on the techniques that are used to solve problems. The goal is not to simply teach you mathematical forms but to help you understand the “whys” behind how you are solving problems.

Topics covered in this course include limits (including those involving infinity); derivatives and rates of change; continuity; applications of the derivative; linear approximation; accumulation; antidifferentiation; definite integrals; and more.
