MATH 130 is intended primarily for non-science students who wish to have some exposure to mathematical thinking, or for students whose programs of study will emphasize finite modelling techniques. Finite mathematics is a broad category. Accordingly, the course covers a diverse set of topics including logic, set theory, combinatorial analysis, probability, graph theory, systems of linear equations, vectors and matrices, and linear programming. Areas of application will be chosen mainly from business and the social and behavioural sciences. The course is particularly recommended for students planning to take MATH 105: Introductory Statistics who have not recently completed Math 12.
Prerequisite(s): Math 11.
