In this course, students will utilize multiple means of problem solving through student-centered mathematical exploration. The course is designed to teach students to think more effectively and increase their problem-solving ability through practical application and divergent thinking. This course is appropriate for students in a wide range of disciplines/programs. Major topics include the following: Problem Solving, including inductive and deductive reasoning, patterns, and analyzing graphs; Sets, including Venn diagrams; Logic; Geometry of both two- and three-dimensional figures; Historic Numeration; and Number Sense. This course satisfies the General Education State Core Mathematics requirements for degree seeking students and is the gateway course for majors in the Mathematical Thinking in Context pathway. It is recommended that students without college-level math credits have completed a secondary-level course in Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, Calculus, or Math for College Liberal Arts with a grade of ‘B’ or higher before taking this course.
Prerequisite: MAT 0057 or equivalent with a grade of "C" or higher OR sufficient score on placement test OR Exempt Student status.
Terms Typically Offered:Fall, Spring, Summer

Mymathlab With Etext Student Access
Room: OnlineProfessor: Hoang Due to changes to Florida Statutes 1007.25, F.S. and 1007.55, F.S., MGF 1130 replaces MGF 1106 and MGF 1107 in the state general education core starting in Fall 2024. If you are a returning student who planned to enroll in either MGF 1106 or MGF 1107 to complete the general education mathematics core requirement, then you should now enroll in MGF 1130 instead. Students who already have their core completed and just need a second general education course can enroll in either MGF 1130 or MGF 1131.
Online class. Computer & Internet access required. Log in to Canvas as soon as the term begins to access your course. Students who do not log into their course by the end of add/drop may be withdrawn from the class. Simply logging in to an online class does not count as attendance. Students must engage in an academically related activity. Students must complete Orientation requirements as set by the instructor to be considered in attendance. Refer to syllabus and Canvas for orientation information and dates. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact the instructor via email. Class utilizes proctored exams that require remote proctoring software or use of testing center (if available). PC or Mac with webcam and microphone required for remote proctoring. |
