Course Description

Math 107 is an introductory level math course intended for students whose majors have only a general educational requirement in mathematics, or for students who feel they would like to prepare for a higher level course probability and statistics. This course has no prerequisites beyond college admission standards. We will cover topics in logic, set theory, Venn diagrams, probability, and statistics, all at an introductory college level.
