Material Detail

This fall I will be teaching a new course entitled “Applied Mathematics” which is intended for students who demonstrate a need to reduce the Algebra II requirement in the Michigan Merit Curriculum due to academic difficulty in Algebra I and/or Geometry. The course features interwoven strands of algebra and functions, statistics, and probability, with a focus on applications of mathematics. Students will learn to recognize and describe important patterns that relate quantitative variables and develop strategies to make sense of real-world data. The course will develop students’ abilities to solve problems involving chance and to approximate solutions to more complex probability problems by using simulation. The goal that will be addressed in this lesson is to review Algebra I fundamentals, more specifically mathematical models (price-demand model, formulas as models, and operations with real numbers) to lay the foundation for the semester.
