MATH 1003 Fundamentals of Mathematics

3 credits
Fundamentals of Math is an integrated approach to investigating pre-algebra and beginning algebra concepts and procedures that makes explicit the connection between arithmetic and algebra concepts simultaneously. This approach emphasizes the parallelism between the way operations are performed with numbers and with comparable algebraic expressions in order to strengthen understanding of both and enhance transfer of understanding of the related concepts. The course will use an on-line supplement to support and strengthen both skill building and tutorial opportunities. This course does not replace the general education MATH 1053 requirement.
