Text: Mathematics:
A Practical Odyssey (7th Edition)
by Johnson and Mowry
Goals: MTH 107 covers
concepts and processes of modern mathematics concerned with sets, the theory of
probability, and statistics. MTH 107 is not open to math majors. It fulfills 3 credits toward the MQ general
education requirements.
Students
who have signed up for MTH107 should know basic concepts like adding fractions,
laws of exponents, the equation of a line, etc. These topics will not be
covered in MTH107.
Please see your instructor at the earliest convenience if you have any
questions about this.

Tutoring / Extra Help
Walk-in tutoring for math is located in Lippitt Hall. There is a no appointment needed in the
Lippitt Hall tutoring center. It is a
place where you can work with tutors and other students in this and other math
courses. Support is provided for all math courses up to MTH 243. Be sure
to bring your book, notes, and questions with you. The tutoring center is a great place to study with classmates and
friends, prep for exams, and review the material covered in lecture. The walk-in tutoring center’s hours
