Technical Mathematics for Industry

We are happy to have you join us in this learning adventure. This is an accelerated Math MOOC and aligns with the Colorado Community College System Common Course Numbering System for MAT108 Technical Math. The MOOC covers material designed for career technical or general studies students who need to study particular mathematical topics. This is a self-paced course.

The Technical Math MOOC is a 5 week course designed for students who have successfully completed high school math and need to refresh their skills with a review of pre-college level algebra. After successfully completing this course, the goal should be to take a college placement exam or CLEP exam earn credit for a course like Technical Mathematics.

Topics include numbers, conversions, measurement, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics and graphs. These are presented at an introductory level and the emphasis is on applications. The math problems encountered in the real world tend to be messy problems for which textbook approaches are very tedious or simply won’t work. During this course, in addition to the standard textbook techniques, we will show you how to leverage technology to solve the more general problems you may encounter in real world applications.

Since this class reviews pre-college level algebra, and moves at a brisk pace, students should be somewhat familiar with mathematical concepts through first year algebra in high school. We have sequenced this course like a traditional math course, however, please feel free to explore the topics as you need them. Just because you didn't review the Algebraic Essentials module, doesn't mean you can't dive into the Trigonometry, Vectors and Logarithms module.
