Course description

This innovative; problem-based statistics and mathematical applications course engages students in research; experimentation; and collaborative problem solving; as tools to investigate mathematical problems. Students will learn to apply statistical; algebraic; geometric; and trigonometric principals to real-world problems; similar to those they will need to solve in their college classes and future careers.
