Statement of Purpose
The
purpose of the Mathematics Discipline is to provide high quality,
accessible math course that build a strong foundation for further
math courses, support each technical program and further the
personal goals of students.
Learning
Outcomes
To
accomplish the stated purpose of the Mathematics Discipline, this
department embraces the concept of quantitative literacy as set
forth by the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year
Colleges. As such, the following student learning outcomes are
expected.
At the completion of the general
education components relating to mathematics, the student will be
able to:
-
Examine and interpret
mathematics problems to determine the applicable operations
needed on an appropriate calculator to solve the problem.
-
Select and perform correct
mathematical operations relevant to various problems.
-
Formulate mathematical
strategies to find solutions to applied problems.
-
Choose and apply suitable
mathematical processes to solve problems in their technical
programs.
-
Communicate mathematical
findings effectively.
-
Demonstrate proper usage of
available technology in the learning and application of
mathematics.
