MAT 143 Quantitative Literacy
This course is designed to engage students in
complex and realistic situations involving the
mathematical phenomena of quantity, change and
relationship, and uncertainty through project-
and activity-based assessment. Emphasis is
placed on authentic contexts which will introduce
the concepts of numeracy, proportional reasoning,
dimensional analysis, rates of growth, personal
finance, consumer statistics, practical
probabilities, and mathematics for citizenship.
Upon completion, students should be able to
utilize quantitative information as consumers and
to make personal, professional, and civic
decisions by decoding, interpreting, using, and
communicating quantitative information found in
modern media and encountered in everyday life.
