MATH1070 Math for Industry
This course is designed to enhance a student’s foundation, understanding, and appreciation of mathematics as it relates to industry. Throughout this course, students will be introduced to problems where they will integrate direct connections between mathematics and concrete real-life problems as seen in technical and industrial applications. This course is designed primarily for students who are in a field of study which is non-math intensive.
Prerequisite
Recommended: Students should be able to perform basic math skills involving measurement, fractions, decimals, proportions and percentages
