MATH-127 Concepts of Mathematics I
This course is for students in the elementary education and early childhood education programs. Students will study the structural aspects of mathematics and the 'why' of arithmetical computations. Mental arithmetic is a required component of this course. Topics include sets, functions, logic, numeration systems, algorithms and their historical development, estimation, mental computations, and elementary number theory. Special emphasis is given throughout the course to problem-solving techniques. MATH-127 is not a mathematics core course. Prerequisite: C or better in MATH-070 or appropriate score on mathematics placement test.
