Quantitatitive Methods

Utilizing mathematics and quantitative analysis in its application to everyday life and across disciplines.

Quantitative Methods:
Students must demonstrate competence in a minimum of six (6) semester hours of approved mathematics/quantitative course work at the level of college algebra or higher. These courses should include both a practical component, providing students with an understanding of how course content relates to their everyday experiences, and a theoretical component, demonstrating the application of the material to other disciplines. At least three (3) semester hours must be taken in a mathematics course. The remaining hours can be taken in any approved mathematics, statistics, or logic courses.

The learning outcome goals for Quantitative Methods include:

• Students will demonstrate the ability to estimate and to apply arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and statistics, appropriately, to solve problems. They will demonstrate an awareness of the relevance of these skills to a wide range of disciplines.
• Students will demonstrate the ability to represent and evaluate mathematical information numerically, graphically and symbolically.
• Students will demonstrate the ability to comprehend mathematical arguments, formulas, and graphical representations, and use this comprehension to answer questions, understand the significance of the results, and judge the reasonableness of their answers.
