The Mathematics divisions strives to support students in learning the numerical and analytical abilitys that will enable them to solve problems that they will encounter in both their career paths and future academic pursuits. After completing the mathematics courses, students will be able to do the following:
- Use correct terminology and conventional notation
- Perform mathematical operations in correct order
- Solve equations
- Construct and interpret graphs
- Solve application problems at an appropriate level
Students enrolled at the college are placed into math classes based on placement scores or previous college credit. They follow one of three basic tracks of courses depending on their educational goals. Students whose goal is to earn a certificate or A.A.S. degree select the technical math sequence or the business math sequence. Those who take math classes to earn an A.A. degree and/or to transfer to another college take the traditional math sequence.
