MTH 137 - Mathematics Modeling & Quantitative Analysis, 3 credit hours

The course takes a numerical and modeling approach to the analysis of contextual-based mathematics with a de-emphasis on algebraic manipulations. Students utilize both paper-and-pencil and current technologies to further develop quantitative reasoning. Topics may include collecting, organizing, and interpreting sets of univariate data, fitting functions and graphs to bivariate data including linear and non-linear models, problem-solving, decision-making, probability and statistics. The focus is activity-based with a high-level of student engagement.
