Credits
3 (3/0/0)
Description
This course presents basic mathematical topics as they are applied in a technical program. The course includes a review of basic mathematical operations and continues with the development of algebraic and trigonometric skills in a technical setting. Most concepts will be applied through course-specific problems. This course is not an MnTC Goal Area 4 mathematics course, nor does it prepare students for taking an MnTC Goal Area 4 mathematics course.
Competencies
- Review basic mathematical operations involving whole numbers, decimals, fractions, signed numbers, percents and order of operations.
- Perform metric system conversions and apply to program-specific problems.
- Solve basic linear equations.
- Manipulate formulas.
- Solve and apply variation problems.
- Demonstrate usage of a scientific calculator.
- Identify appropriate geometric formulas to solve perimeter, area and volume applications.
