MATH 090 – Pathways to Contemporary Math
Topics selected from various areas of mathematics, showing the scope and power of mathematics, and emphasizing mathematical methods. Topics include an introduction to math symbols and language, exploring and applying math formulas for real world problem solving, probability and statistics, order of operations, and consumer finance. Not intended to prepare
students for any subsequent course. Today’s world, regardless of the area, requires a familiarity
with numbers and value, as well as an understanding of patterns. Math is relevant to our daily
lives and is a tool that gives us a structure for which to apply critical thinking and problem
solving.
Note: this course is pre-college level and does not count towards academic program credit
requirements
