Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  • Solve logical reasoning problems
  • Demonstrate effective critical thinking skills related to probability and uncertainty equations
  • Apply algebraic and graphical reasoning through the study of functions and equations 
  • Describe the role of mathematics in society
