MAT 103 Technical Math Fundamentals Credits: (2)
In this course a student will apply the foundational mathematical concepts necessary for technology disciplines. It integrates hands-on learning activities to demonstrate arithmetic, basic algebra (linear equation solving), introductory geometry, and right triangle trigonometry concepts required for technical applications. Special focus will be on decimals, fractions, percentages, units, unit conversion, and metric prefixes throughout the course. This course does not count in the Math/Science degree program and is intended for Applied Technology students.
Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate how to add, subtract, multiply and divide whole numbers, fractions, and decimals, with the ability to convert between fractions, decimals, percentages, and ratios.
- Convert within and between metric and customary units, while using proper engineering notation and prefixes.
- Apply appropriate mathematical concepts to solve applied linear algebra, basic geometry and basic right triangle trigonometric problems.
- Demonstrate proficiency taking precision and semi-precision measurements.
