All
students will take ISP 120 and ISP 121: Mathematics and Technological
Literacy, except for those students whose programs will require calculus
or whose assessment examinations indicate that they are prepared to take
calculus.
These courses are designed to help students become confident and critical
users of quantitative information, including:
- Spreadsheets (Excel)
- Word processors (Word)
- Presentation software (PowerPoint) and
- Internet (Netscape or Internet Explorer)
- Quantitative skills in estimation, percentage change, proportional
reasoning, scaling, descriptive statistics, and simple mathematical
models (linear and exponential) are also developed.
- Mathematics and Technological Literacy courses may be taught by faculty
from any department or program. The class is taught in the Quantitative
Reasoning Center on the 2nd floor of SAC and the class size target is
25.
For more information on teaching a quantitative reasoning course contact
Lynn Narasimhan, associate dean, Liberal Arts & Sciences and department
of mathematical sciences, or David Jabon, director, Quantitative Skills
Center and department of mathematical sciences.
