MAT 113 is a general education mathematics course which fulfills 3 hours of the core curriculum’s mathematics requirement. Designed particularly for the non-science major, the course focuses on mathematical reasoning and solving of real-life problems, rather than on routine skills. Three or four of the following topics will be studied in depth: counting techniques and probability, game theory, geometry (additional topics beyond the prerequisite), graph theory, linear programming (including functions and graphs), sets and logic, mathematical modeling, the mathematics of finance, and statistics.
