MATH 1333, Mathematics for Measurement
Course objectives
- Increase/improve students' quantitative literacy.
- Understand the innate variation in measured values and the various standard
mathematical ways to communicate that variation.
- Understand the complexities involved with using measured numbers in computations
and be able to compute and communicate the resulting variability in the computed
values.
- Provide students with an opportunity to experience connections between
geometry and algebra to increase their flexibility in problem-solving.
Topics:
· Variation in measurement
· Right-triangle trigonometry
