MATS 1240 A project-based course using Microsoft Excel, emphasizing conceptual understanding and application of elementary mathematics as it is used and communicated in a variety of everyday contexts (no prior experience with Excel is necessary). Mathematical topics include ratios, rates, percentages, units, descriptive statistics, linear and exponential modeling, correlation, logic, and probability; contexts include (but are not limited to) personal finance and critical examination of current news articles. Written and/or oral presentations will be required. Meets MnTC Goal 4. Prerequisite: Math placement at the introductory college level.
