Semester Hours: 3
Fall, Spring
An exploration into several mathematical topics not covered in MATH 040 , 045 , 050 , or 061 , chosen by the instructor, to give an appreciation of what mathematics is about. Only a background in high school algebra is needed, yet the topics are covered in sufficient depth to show the power and beauty of mathematics. Possible topics include: problem solving, number theory, graph theory, voting models, fair division, symmetry, fractals, Fibonacci numbers, consumer mathematics, games and puzzles. 

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
At least two years of high school mathematics or Math Proficiency/Placement scores as interpreted by advisement or a grade of P in MATH 006A . Credit given for this course or MATH 030B , not both.
