MTH 140 - Contemporary Mathematics

Hours: 3
Contemporary Mathematics is designed to meet the
needs of the student wishing to satisfy the
general education math requirement. The purpose
of Contemporary Math is to provide a
comprehensive overview of the mathematical and/or
quantitative skills required to navigate the
mathematical demands of modern life and prepare
students for a deeper understanding of
information presented in mathematical terms.
Emphasis is placed on improving students’ ability
to draw conclusions, make decisions, and
communicate effectively in quantitative-based
situations that depend upon multiple factors.
Please note that this is intended as a terminal
course; completion of this course would not
qualify students for higher level mathematics.
Standards covered in MTH 140 include: Problem
solving, modeling, mathematical reasoning,
connecting with other disciplines, communication
using the language of mathematics, using
technology, and developing mathematical power.

Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C in MTH 094  or MTH 080  or appropriate placement test score.
