MTH 377 - Mathematical Processes

Credit Hours: 3
This course examines both finite and infinite mathematical processes used when solving problems involving discrete or continuous data. As an activity-base and laboratory-centered course, these processes are to be explored in the context of real-world applications. Communication of mathematical concepts and solutions to problems using technology, as well as paper and pencil procedures, is a continuing theme. This course is for the middle school education major who chooses mathematics as an area of subject matter concentration and elementary education majors with an emphasis area in mathematics. The course connects experiences from the concepts of numbers, algebra, geometry, and data analysis to those of the calculus. This course cannot be used as a mathematics elective for the mathematics major or minor.
