Designed as a follow-up to MATH 100R for students who desire to make further progress in their math placement through individualized instruction. Includes a diagnostic test of mathematical knowledge base which is used to develop an individualized learning plan. Provides targeted intervention to increase foundational mathematics knowledge. May be Graded Credit/No Credit. May be repeated for a maximum of 3 credits.

Uses real-life, scenario-based instruction where each mathematical concept is taught using small, useful, real-life mathematical scenarios. Uses a modelling approach to help students determine in which real-life scenario they would use which mathematical concept or skill for solving problems. Covers models of integers, fractions, decimals, percentages and percentage change, ratio and rate, basic descriptive statistics, charts, and graphs, linear growth, and exponential growth. Demonstrates mathematics as a tool for modeling specific real-life situations. Uses calculators, computer software, and the Internet, and that they are used as tools for understanding. Prepares students for MAT1030, Quantitative Reasoning.

Prerequisite(s): One of the following (within department time limits): MAT 1020 (preferred), or MAT1015 or MAT 1010 with a grade of C– or higher; or appropriate placement by a placement exam.
Teaches how to communicate, interpret, and analyze quantitative information found in the media and in everyday life to make sound personal, professional, and civic decisions.

Prerequisite(s):One of the following (within department time limits): MAT 0950 with a grade of C- or higher, or MAT 0980 with a grade of C- or higher, or appropriate placement by a placement exam.
Teaches students to communicate, interpret, and analyze quantitative information found in the media and in everyday life to make sound personal, professional, and civic decisions. Provides the necessary algebraic content taught in context.

Prerequisite(s): One of the following (within department time limits): MAT 1010 or MAT1015 with a grade of C- or higher; or appropriate placement by a placement exam.
Teaches how to communicate, interpret, and analyze quantitative information found in the media and in everyday life to make sound personal, professional, and civic decisions. Covers the material at an honors level.

Prerequisite(s): One of the following (within department time limits): MAT 1010, MAT 1015, MAT1030 or higher, or STAT 1040 or higher, with a grade of C- or higher.
Focuses on the ability to reason soundly and formulate arguments in mathematics, logic and philosophy. Covers how sound arguments and good reasoning methods allow us to effectively search for the truth regarding any mathematical or philosophical question. Covers the reasoning methods used in mathematics and the way the methods are applied outside of mathematics in areas such as language and the sciences. Describes how these methods are effective in producing mathematical knowledge and understanding as well as their epistemic shortcomings. Includes reasoning with propositional logic, sound argumentation, mathematical proof, visualization and diagrammatic reasoning, the role of rigor and intuition, and the scientific application of mathematics.
