What are the topics covered in math?

Some of the topics covered in these courses are basic adding, multiplying, division, subtracting, fractions, percentages, algebra, and heaps more! Let’s get started!

How long is the math class?

In total, this course is close to 24 hours in length, which is spread over a 10-week period with many smaller lectures. Some of the core foundational topics in this course are number theory, real analysis, calculus, algebra, and mathematical logic.

Why is algebra important?

Algebra makes many people nervous, but it’s an essential skill in many business situations . In addition to making it easy to face the problems in your math class, you use algebra when figuring out interest on loans, calculating materials used for construction projects, and even in photography.

Why is mental math important?

Vince believes that mental math is essential because of how many times we need to make a quick calculation every day. This includes price comparisons while shopping, calculate calories consumed and burned, tipping, and figuring out the area and volume of spaces.

What is Khan Academy?

Khan Academy is a learning resource for the arts, sciences, and mathematics. It is available in grade levels from beginning to beyond college. 8th-grade math is very beneficial for business professionals of all ages as it provides core instruction in basic math as well as algebra and geometry.

How long is mental math?

In this intermediate 2 hour class, you will learn the fundamentals of this math strategy.

Does MIT have online math classes?

These are undergraduate and graduate degree programs that you attend online to gain your degree in various fields of mathematics.

1. STAT 100 - Statistics

This is the introductory course to statistics and probabilty at the precalculus level. Emphasis is given to descriptive statistics, elementary probability, estimation, and hypothesis testing. The only prereq is that you have to pass precalculus.

2. ATMS 100 - Introduction to Meteorology

Or basically, how to become a weatherman (or woman). This class is an introduction to the basic core concepts and principle of the science of meteorology.

3. ATMS 120 - Severe and Hazardous Weather

What should you do if a tornado is coming your way? How do you prepare for a hurricane? If you want to know how to prepare for these natural disasters (knowledge that could one day save your life) and also want an easy A, then take this class! You've already figured out how to predict the weather.

4. HORT 100 - Vegetable Gardening

6. ANTH 180 - The Archaeology of Death

Well, this is a morbid topic. Who wants to talk about death, much less the celebration of it? Well, how about if the class is an easy A? The class explores the celebration of death across time and space. The texts explores the anthropological and archaeological literature on death, particularly in terms of death ritual and burial practices.

7. PHYS 280 - Nuclear Weapons and Arms Control

Why is there a physics class on nuclear weapons? Shouldn't that be a government and politics class? It might explain why the curve is so high in the class.

How many courses can a pure math major take?

Pure mathematics majors can include up to two courses from related departments, such as the courses listed below that do not have a math number. Joint majors may not substitute courses from other departments - a course to be counted toward the math requirements must have a math number. (Reasons for this decisions are explained in our Math major FAQ .)

What is the introductory sequence in mathematics?

The introductory sequence into the mathematics major consists of linear algebra (Math 225 or 226), analysis (Math 255 or 256), and multvariable analysis / calculus (Math 302 or 120).

How many partial differential equations are offered every other year?

447 Partial differential equations (typically offered every other year)

Does Phil 267 count as a math major?

Phil 267 Mathematical L ogic (may count for pure math major only, with limit as noted above)

1. THEA 1520 - Acting for Non-Majors

This course is a fabulous introduction for students of any majors except theatre majors. Not only is this the perfect course for people who love acting and are passionate about it but also for those who just want to get a taste of what acting is all about and have no prior experience at all.

2. ADMS 1000 - Administrative Studies

This introductory course is well-known for its useful business content and not-too-much-effort-required. Even if you’re not a business major, this course will teach you introductory material that can be applied in your everyday life.
