MAT 204 - Introduction to Mathematical Problem-Solving and Inquiry (3 cr.)


Mathematics is fundamentally about problem-solving and reasoning. In this course, you will explore mathematics in a supportive environment that encourages your growth in formulating problems and problem-solving. The types of problems will range from puzzles that can be formulated mathematically, applied mathematics problems, and questions about numbers and geometry. We will work mostly with paper and pencil, but you also will be introduced to using spreadsheets or computational software to explore mathematical problems. Finally, you will learn about the current and past culture of mathematical problem-solving.
