College Mathematics II –

mth209ca

(3 credits)

This course continues the demonstration and examination of various algebra concepts that was begun in MTH 208: College Mathematics I. It assists in building skills for performing more complex mathematical operations and problem solving than in earlier courses. These concepts and skills should serve as a foundation for subsequent quantitative business coursework. Applications to real-world problems are emphasized throughout the course.

This undergraduate-level course is 5 weeks. To enroll, speak with an Enrollment Advisor.
