Mathematics
Mathematics is a component of the academic branch of the college and serves as a major component of the core curriculum. Students pursuing Associate degrees are required to take prescribed core mathematics courses. Many of the students in certificate programs, along with those desiring to upgrade their skills, take mathematics courses as well.
The purposes of the Department of Mathematics are to teach the fundamental skills and technique of mathematics, to develop mathematics as a mode of thought, and to develop attitudes, tendencies and ideals inherent in the study of mathematics.
