For the purpose of serving as an alternative pathway to Pre-calculus and Intermediate Statistics, this course introduces basic concepts of personal finances while emphasizing the algebra skills that are the prerequisites for Pre-calculus such as basic arithmetic, variables, graphs, exponential and logarithmic rules, etc. Students will be learning budgeting, calculating loan interests, and formulating personal financial goals. These topics are rich in mathematical contents, easy to be implemented into each individual’s circumstance, and important aspects of financial wellness. The course’s components are various. Besides homework and exams, the assessment also includes two projects: a personal budget and a personal financial plan. In addition to lectures, two speakers, a staff from UWT financial aids office and the director of financial counseling from South Outreach in Tacoma, will be visiting the class.
