Finite Math –

mat205

(3 credits)

This course introduces the concepts of finite mathematics, with a focus on real-world application. Students will explore linear functions and equations, linear programming, and the use and application of matrices. Mathematical applications of finance, statistics, and probability are also reviewed.

This undergraduate-level course is 9 weeks. To enroll, speak with an Enrollment Advisor.
