Math

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Mathematics Program is to provide quality instruction on analyzing, manipulating and drawing conclusions from mathematical information in order to meet the diverse needs of our student population. The program will continue to assess, modify, and develop courses that present mathematics in a variety of formats, and teach students the language and formal notation of mathematics. Students will demonstrate increasing levels of mastery of the Program Learning Outcomes throughout the developmental math curriculum.

PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES (PLOs)

Upon successful completion of the Quantitative Skills requirement for the Associates Degree, students will: 

  1. Interpret, analyze, and create graphs and charts that communicate quantitative or relational information (COM, COK, CRT).
  2. Determine, create, and use appropriate and reasonable mathematical constructs to model, understand, and explain phenomena encountered in the world (COK, COM, CRT).
  3. Determine and carry out an appropriate algorithm to solve problems that are amenable to mathematical solutions (COK, CRT).
  4. Communicate mathematical information formally, using appropriate math notation and terminology, and informally by using everyday language to express ideas (COK, COM).
  5. Use technology to analyze and solve mathematical problems and to effectively communicate solutions to problems, particularly those that cannot be solved efficiently by other means (COK, COM, CRT, IIT).
