MATH 1035: This course is for students majoring in programs not related to math and science. Math 1035 covers a broad scope of mathematical topics as they apply to real-world problems including reasoning and number sense, financial matters, probability and statistics, and modeling. MATH 1035 contains most of the topics from MATH 1030 but also contains additional topics and materials in arithmetic and algebra to strengthen students’ abilities and promote their success in this course. MATH 1035 may be the last Math class you take in college.
