MAT 114 - College Mathematics

Previously MAT 142, apply basic college-level mathematics to real-life problems. Topics include numerical reasoning, sets, counting techniques, probability, basic statistics, and finance.

Overview

Previously MAT 142, the purpose of this course is to relate college-level mathematics to real-life problems. We will emphasize problem-solving techniques, specifically by means of discussing concepts including sets, probability, statistics, finance, and geometry. Students will apply basic college-level mathematics to real-life problems. Appropriate for students whose major does not require MAT 117 or 170.

Requirements

This course contains five proctored exams which requires a photo ID for verification.
To be successful in this course, we recommend English language fluency and computer literacy. We also encourage you to make sure your laptop or desktop computer meets the technical requirements.

What you’ll learn

  • Apply knowledge about set theory (sets, set notation, and set operations) to solve problems
  • Apply basic counting techniques and probability theory to solve probability-based problems
  • Apply a variety of statistical measures to solve problems
  • Solve a variety of financial-based problems including problems involving simple and compound interest, annuities, and amortized loans
  • Apply geometric concepts (dimensional analysis, perimeter, area, surface area, volume, similarity, proportions, and trigonometric function) to solve geometry-based problems

Transcript

This course appears on your transcript identically to how it appears on the transcript of an enrolled ASU student who has taken the course on one of ASU’s campuses. Course attendance dates will be listed on your transcript. An on-demand course will appear on your transcript in the session you complete the course.

This course satisfies 3 credit hours toward the MATH: Mathematics General Studies requirement at Arizona State University. It is strongly encouraged that you consult with your institution of choice to determine how these credits will be applied to their degree requirements prior to transferring your credit.
