Mathematics Course Descriptions

Prerequisite: Assessment Exam

This remedial course focuses on basic mathematical concepts
and skills, including whole numbers, fractions, decimals,
percents, operations with signed numbers, exponents, algebraic
expressions, and the solution of simple first-degree equations.
Admission to this course is based on college placement test
scores. This course prepares students for the required mathematics
courses in their program of study.

Prerequisite: Assessment Exam

Computations required for business operations are studied. Among the topics covered are: banking records, payroll, percentage, insurance, simple and compound interest, promissory notes, trade and cash discounts, transportation charges, commission sales, markup, inventory, depreciation, taxes, investments, financial statement analysis, statistics, charts and drafts. Computer applications to business mathematics are presented.

Prerequisite: Assessment Exam

The application of statistical methods to the analysis of business conditions and projections form the core of this course. Among the topics covered are: measures of central tendency, standard deviation, percentiles, statistical graphs, binomial and normal distribution, probability, and hypothesis testing. Computer statistical packages are used to emphasize methods discussed in the course.

Prerequisite: Assessment Exam
