MATH 119 - Elementary Technical Mathematics
Credit Hours: 2
Billable Contact Hours: 2
Prerequisites: RDG 090 and ENGL 090 and MATH 090 , within the last three years is highly recommended, or qualifying scores on accepted placement tests
Session Cycle: FWSU
This course provides basic mathematics preparation for students in technology programs. It emphasizes fundamental operations of algebra and the solution of linear equations relating to technical applications. The course also includes estimation, scientific and engineering notation, proportion and variation, measurement systems and conversion methods, precision, accuracy, and error. The purpose of this course is to acquaint students with the type of mathematics that is used in the technical area. Students will be expected to work with mathematics numerically, graphically, analytically, and verbally.
Notes: Science/Mathematics Division
Theory Hours: 30
Learning Outcomes: 1. Identify and use scientific and engineering notation.
