OVERVIEW:
Math 105 is an introductory course covering various topics in finite (non-calculus)
mathematics. The course is geared toward people majoring in disciplines outside of
natural sciences and engineering. By presenting some mathematical concepts/topics
coming from everyday-life type situations, it aims to improve participants' reasoning
skills and problem-solving techniques. It also provides a nice foundation for
those people who wish to further continue into a calculus or a statistics course
at a later time.
Homework Assignments: Will be announced here weekly.
