MATH 372
Arithmetic for the College Student
4 units - 4 hours lecture
Prerequisite: none
Corequisite: none
Recommended preparation: none
A study of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole
numbers, fractions, and decimals, including the use of calculators. The
arithmetic skills are used for applications of ratio, proportion and percent
to business and consumer problems. Analysis of statistical data includes
graphs, means, and medians. Introductory geometry topics include U.S.
Customary Measurements, perimeter, and area. Problem solving, estimation,
small group work, exploratory activities, computers, and the communication
of mathematical ideas are an integral part of the course.
