To function in the most simplistic mathematical environment, you must have some mathematical knowledge to use as tools. This course will help provide those tools and equip you to better deal with certain mathematical dilemmas. The first half of the course looks at basic number sense and reasoning. This includes integers, fractions, decimals, percents, and exponents, among other things. We will look at some algebraic concepts, such as solving and graphing linear equations. We will also examine perimeter and area. The second half of the course looks at real-life mathematical applications and examines some basic statistical concepts. It includes the topics of budgeting and personal finance, which are pertinent to everyone but particularly to missionaries and pastors. Other concepts in this part will be simple / compound interest, conversions, and large purchases.
