MGF 1107  MATHEMATICS FOR LIBERAL ARTS II	226	SPG	In Class	May 13 2013	Jul 19 2013
Credits: 3 Description: Prerequisite: MAT 1033 or appropriate score on the SPC mathematics placement test. This course presents topics demonstrating the beauty and utility of mathematics to the general student population and to provide knowledge and skills useful for college, life, and career. The course will include topics related to patterns and reasoning, growth and symmetry, linear and exponential growth, and personal finance; mathematical connections with music, art, architecture and nature will be explored. History of mathematics, critical thinking skills, problem solving strategies and appropriate use of technology will be used throughout the course. This course satisfies three credits of the mathematics requirements outlined in the General Education Requirements, but is not a prerequisite to any other mathematics course. (MGF 1106 and MGF 1107 may be taken concurrently.) 47 contact hours.
