In this course, students will utilize multiple means of problem solving through student-centered mathematical exploration. The course is designed to teach students to think more effectively and increase their problem-solving ability through practical application and divergent thinking. This course is appropriate for students in a wide range of disciplines/programs. Student Learning Outcomes: Students will determine efficient means of solving a problem through investigation of multiple mathematical models. Students will apply logic in contextual situations to formulate and determine the validity of logical statements using a variety of methods. Students will apply mathematical concepts visually and contextually to represent, interpret and reason about geometric figures. Students will recognize the characteristics of numbers and utilize numbers along with their operations appropriately in context. Students will analyze and interpret representations of data to draw reasonable conclusions.
