MATH1015 — Applied Mathematics for Technical Careers
MATH 1015 - Applied Mathematics for Technical Careers MATH 1015 - Applied Mathematics for Technical Careers Hours/Week: Lecture 3 Lab 0 Course Description: The primary purpose of this course is to prepare students for technical careers. This course integrates arithmetic, algebraic and geometric topics and their technical applications. Emphasis is placed on arithmetic, measurement, unit conversions, percentages, proportions, geometry, and problem-solving. Mathematical concepts are introduced with a focus on their application to real-life technical problems. Topics include scientific and engineering notation, unit analysis, precision and accuracy, arithmetic, measurement, unit conversions, percentages, proportions, functions (linear, quadratic, rational, radical, exponential and logarithmic functions), plane figure and solid figure geometry, and solving linear equations and quadratic equations. Applications for technical careers will be emphasized. Use of a scientific calculator or software is required. MnTC Goals None Major Content Operations on whole numbers, fractions, decimals and percentages. Order of operations Ratios, proportions, and variations Dimensional analysis and systems of measurement Scientific and engineering notations Precision and accuracy Geometry of plane and solid figures (perimeter, area, volume, surface area) Similar right triangles and Pythagorean theorem Mathematical modeling Solving linear and quadratic equations Evaluating linear, quadratic, rational
