LAM130 Mathematics in an Information Age

This course develops conceptual understanding and analytical skills dealing with quantities and their interrelationships using technology (calculators, computers) as a tool. The course includes representing and analyzing data using correlation and regression, the normal distribution and chi-square distribution, and statistical measures such as central tendency and dispersion. The course emphasizes the use of logical arguments; estimating, approximating, and judging the reasonableness of answers; graphing using polynomial equations; solving systems of equations and inequalities, and selecting and using appropriate approaches and tools in formulation and solution of real-world problems. This course applies toward the mathematics concentration. This course counts in the Quantitative Reasoning Area of General Education requirements. Prerequisite(s): LAM220 and LAM307 5 quarter hours
