Full course description
Applied Mathematics is all about making math useful in your everyday life. In this course, you’ll tackle real-world situations—like managing money, planning trips, or drawing conclusions from statistical data —and learn how to solve them using math and digital tools. You’ll get comfortable using spreadsheets like Excel to crunch numbers, spot patterns, and explain your thinking clearly. Along the way, you’ll build skills in algebra, geometry, statistics, and probability. By the end, you’ll take on a final project that ties it all together, giving you the confidence to use math in ways that actually matter to you.
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Use mathematical tools and technology to perform calculations and solve real-world problems.
- Apply appropriate mathematical concepts in personal, academic, and professional contexts.
- Communicate quantitative information effectively using charts, graphs, and data summaries.
- Analyze everyday scenarios using mathematical reasoning.
- Design original solutions to real-world problems using mathematical reasoning, visual representations, and clear communication.
