About Quantitative Reasoning*

This is a survey course designed to develop mathematical reasoning and focuses primarily on the algebra skills studied in high school in order to prepare students for college. Students will develop facility in simplifying and evaluating polynomial and rational expressions, as well as solve linear equations, inequalities, quadratic equations and systems of linear equations. Emphasis will be placed on applying these skills in solving real world problems. Access to a scientific or graphing calculator is recommended. (This course is designed for students who are not already taking a 4th year of mathematics and who want to improve their standardized test scores such as The Accuplacer or SAT tests).
