MATH 104 - Elementary Mathematical Modeling

Credit Hours: 3

Prerequisites: 2 years of high school algebra
This course will introduce students to mathematical models of real world problems. Designed for non-technical majors, this course focuses on basic mathematical functions, modeling using those functions, properties of their graphs, and real-world applications. Functions will include linear, quadratic, higher degree polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and logistic. Students will solve problems using algebra and a graphing calculator; they will use matrices for solving systems of linear equations; and they will be required to interpret results in writing.
