Quantitative Reasoning

This course is designed to expose the student to a wide range of general mathematics. Problem solving and critical thinking skills, along with the use of technology, will be emphasized and reinforced throughout the course as the student becomes actively involved in solving applied problems. Topics include: number theory and systems; functions and modeling; finance; geometry; measurement; probability; statistics; selected subtopics related to the student’s major field of study. Course Requirement: Students must complete Integrated Algebra II in order to complete Quantitative Reasoning for dual enrollment credit
