MATH 1324 - Mathematics for Business & Social Sciences3 credit hours. 3 lecture hours. 0 lab hours.
Prerequisites: TSI-complete (college-ready) or Texas Success Initiative exempt (ACT, SAT, TAKS).
M
The application of common algebraic functions, including polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and rational, to problems in business, economics, and the social sciences are addressed. The applications include mathematics of finance, including simple and compound interest and annuities; systems of linear equations; matrices; linear programming; and probability, including expected value.
Additional Fees: $15
Measurable Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will: Apply elementary functions, including linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and exponential functions to solving real-world problems. Solve mathematics of finance problems, including the computation of interest, annuities, and amortization of loans. Apply basic matrix operations, including linear programming methods, to solve application problems. Demonstrate fundamental probability techniques and application of those techniques, including expected value, to solve problems. Apply matrix skills and probability analyses to model applications to solve real-world problems.
Notes:
Any student enrolled in a mathematics course at Temple College will be eligible to attend a mathematics lab. The main campus lab will be open at least 20 hours each week and will be staffed by the lab director, regular math faculty members and peer tutors. Labs in Hutto and Taylor will be open a limited number of hours as posted at those facilities. Hours vary each semester. Check with center directors for available tutoring at the Taylor and Hutto locations.
While every effort has been made to align our pre-requisites with the majority of major receiving institutions, it is ultimately the learner’s responsibility to be aware of his/her institution’s particular pre-requisites.
MyMathLab is used in most classes.
