Credit, degree applicable
Transfer CSU, UC*

As an introduction to the use of logical, quantitative, and spatial reasoning in the discipline of mathematics, students in this course examine the mathematical topics of set theory, numeration, number theory, functions, graphs, patterns and the structure of real numbers. Students investigate the interrelationships among these topics, with an emphasis on algebraic, geometric and kinesthetic modeling, inductive and deductive logic, and proofs using pictures. Designed for pre-service elementary school teachers, this course is appropriate for all students interested in a deeper understanding of the structure of mathematics.

Note: The maximum UC credit allowed for students completing Mathematic 110, MATH 115 , and MATH 116 is one course.
