Dual Enrollment Program DE Course: Math 1029 Contemporary Mathematics

Primarily for students in liberal arts and social sciences.

Math 1029 Contemporary Mathematics covers mathematical approaches to practical life problems. Topics include counting techniques and probability, statistics, graph theory, and linear programming.

This is an LSU Integrative Learning Core (ILC) course that awards general education credit.

Note: Math 1029 is designed for fine arts, liberal arts, political science, communication studies, and most social science majors. It covers topics that students on these career paths will need such as interpreting statistics, understanding probability, using graph theory to model efficient pathways, and solving sales problems with linear programming. Topics may vary. This course is taught in the spring semester and should be preceded by Math 1100 in the fall semester. Students can use the same MyLab Math access code for both courses in this sequence.
