Your major and future goals will determine the math class you should take. Decide which path you think you want and click on the name:

  • Liberal Arts Majors Requiring Statistics - Social Sciences
  • Liberal Arts Majors Requiring Any Transfer Level Math Course – Humanities
  • Business and Managerial Sciences Majors
  • Life Science Majors
  • STEM Majors (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)
Liberal Arts Majors that only require statistics are recommended to take one of the following math courses:

Math 57A is the first of a two-course sequence in the study of statistical methods integrated with algebraic tools to prepare students to analyze processes encountered in society and the workplace. The course covers an introduction to algebra and descriptive statistics in an integrated approach. Topics include data collection, organizing and interpreting data graphically, qualitative and quantitative data sets, measures of central tendency and measures of dispersion, bivariate data and scatter plots, linear functions and their graphs, nonlinear functions and their graphs, and applying technology to calculate various types of regressions. Students are expected to implement technology to perform calculations to organize data in order to make statistical conclusions. This sequence of courses is intended for students that are not planning on majoring in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics related disciplines.

If you do not believe this is the right course for you, please talk with a counselor to find an appropriate math course for your major and to help develop an educational plan.
If you need more assistance in determining the right level of math, please contact the Assessment Center for further assistance.

Math 59 is a first course in a two-course integrated sequence promoting analytical and critical thinking skills to prepare students for transfer-level mathematics courses. Students are challenged to analyze and dissect problems in various mathematical fields through contextualize applications of the topics, with the purpose of focusing on developing students' analytical and logical reasoning skills. Topics include numeracy; operations with numbers; functions; solving linear equations; graphically organizing data; constructing single and bi-variate graphs; reading, analyzing and interpreting graphs; applying mathematics in business accounting and personal finance; and practical geometry. This course is intended for students planning to major in any of the following fields of study: Fine Arts, Visual and Performing Arts, Humanities, Behavioral Sciences, Social Sciences, Business and related Managerial Sciences, Economics, or Life Sciences. This course is not intended for students planning to major in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields of study.

If you want to learn a completely different aspect of mathematics, this course will definitely provide an opportunity to learn about topics and processes that are not part of any other math course you have seen; but more importantly this is the case not solely because of the content, but because of the way in which the content will be covered.

As a student of this course, you want to come in with a working basis of basic prealgebra conceptual and computational skills, including working knowledge in performing operations with fractions, decimals and percents, evaluating formulas at specific variable values, factoring composite numbers into their prime factor decomposition, using exponents to make expressions easier to express, knowledge of perfect squares, and interpreting a written statement into its equivalent mathematical expression.

What is just as important for you to have when entering this course, is a strong foundation on reading, writing and communication skills. Throughout the course, there will be important analytic reading and writing assignments for which oral presentations will be a meaningful component of the course.

You will explore mathematical topics in depth. The majority of all these topics are based on actual real-life data and phenomena. This course focuses on conceptual understanding where analytical reasoning and critical thinking skills will lead you to analyze and make conclusions of about the math application. This course has been developed not just to help you for future math course, but more importantly for all your future college courses.

Math 119X is intended for students who need more support than is offered by a traditional Math 119 course. The same material is covered but no prior knowledge is assumed.

This course covers descriptive and inferential statistics. The descriptive portion analyzes data through graphs, measures of central tendency and dispersion. The inferential statistics portion covers statistical rules to compute basic probability, including binomial, normal, Chi-squares, and T-distributions. This course also covers estimation of population parameters, hypothesis testing, linear regression, correlation and ANOVA. Emphasis is placed on applications of technology, using software packages, for statistical analysis and interpretation of statistical values based on data from disciplines including business, social sciences, psychology, life science, health science and education. This course is intended for transfer students interested in statistical analysis.

As a student of this course, you want to come in with a working basis of basic prealgebra conceptual and computational skills, including working knowledge in performing operations with fractions, decimals and percents, evaluating formulas at specific variable values, factoring composite numbers into their prime factor decomposition, using exponents to make expressions easier to express, knowledge of perfect squares, and interpreting a written statement into its equivalent mathematical expression.

What is just as important for you to have when entering this course, is a strong foundation on reading, writing and communication skills. Throughout the course, there will be important analytic reading and writing assignments for which oral presentations will be a meaningful component of the course.

You will explore mathematical topics in depth. The majority of all these topics are based on actual real-life data and phenomena. This course focuses on conceptual understanding where analytical reasoning and critical thinking skills will lead you to analyze and make conclusions of about the math application. This course has been developed not just to help you for future math course, but more importantly for all your future college courses.

This course is intended for students planning to major in any of the following fields of study: Fine Arts, Visual and Performing Arts, Humanities, Behavioral Sciences, Social Sciences, Business and related Managerial Sciences, Economics, or Life Sciences. This course is not intended for students planning to major in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields of study.

If you want to learn a completely different aspect of mathematics, this course will definitely provide an opportunity to learn about topics and processes that are not part of any other math course you have seen; but more importantly this is the case not solely because of the content, but because of the way in which the content will be covered.

As a student of this course, you want to come in with a working basis of basic prealgebra conceptual and computational skills, including working knowledge in performing operations with fractions, decimals and percents, evaluating formulas at specific variable values, factoring composite numbers into their prime factor decomposition, using exponents to make expressions easier to express, knowledge of perfect squares, and interpreting a written statement into its equivalent mathematical expression.

What is just as important for you to have when entering this course, is a strong foundation on reading, writing and communication skills. Throughout the course, there will be important analytic reading and writing assignments for which oral presentations will be a meaningful component of the course.

You will explore mathematical topics in depth. The majority of all these topics are based on actual real-life data and phenomena. This course focuses on conceptual understanding where analytical reasoning and critical thinking skills will lead you to analyze and make conclusions of about the math application. This course has been developed not just to help you for future math course, but more importantly for all your future college courses.
