MA 1080 - Applied Mathematics: Problem Solving Using Excel

3.00 credits.
Mathematical Analysis Core Course.This course provides an introduction to a variety of mathematical concepts focusing on real-world applications of mathematical modeling and meaning, rather than on proving theorems. This is an application-oriented course and the approach is practical. Learners will use Excel to find the solutions to real-world mathematical situations. Focusing on translating every day questions into mathematical problems to solve, the topics will include: Algebra, Sets, Graphing, Number Theory, Linear Equations and Inequalities, Statistics, Probability, and Consumer Mathematics.  Part of the class is devoted to lecture and part will be an interactive lab.  Although not required, this course is recommended as a preparatory course for Ma 1510, Probability and Statistics.
