Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Make reasonable estimates of solutions to mathematical problems and perform basic mathematical calculations to obtain exact answers. Use mathematical principles and concepts (geometry, algebra, and trigonometry) to model and solve real-world problems. Interpret and analyze information using tables, mathematical symbols and appropriate technology. Approach problem solving individually or as part of a team, with self-confidence, discipline, and persistence, using available resources and seeking help as needed.
