(Three credit hours, three lecture hours per week during a 16-week semester, no lab hours)

Catalog description: A course designed for non-mathematics and non-science majors. Topics may include, but are not limited to, sets, logic, number theory, geometric concepts, and an introduction to probability and statistics. Prerequisites: A satisfactory score on the ACC Mathematics Assessment Test. A second option is an appropriate secondary school course (Algebra II) and completion of any TASP-mandated mathematics remediation. (MTH 1513)

Prerequisite Review Sheets (The review for this course is the same as a review for the TASP test.)

Learning Objectives

There is more flexibility in the specific topics covered for this course than for other mathematics courses. Some sections of the course
use a textbook by Bennett and Briggs and the others use a textbook by Tannenbaum and Arnold. Inquiries about which sections use which textbook should be addressed to the instructor of the section or to math@austincc.edu.

The books have somewhat different emphases, as can be seen from their websites: Bennett and Briggs | Tannenbaum and Arnold.

The following two student handouts are examples of handouts. Because the teachers are allowed some flexibility in planning their
course, the specific set of chapters, timetable, and specific homework assignments will vary. Bennett and Briggs | Tannenbaum and Arnold
