MAT 222 - Fundamental Concepts of Mathematics 2

4 credit hours - Four hours weekly; one term.
This course meets the Mathematics General Education Requirement

Examine two- and three-dimensional shapes, measurement, dimensional analysis, congruence and similarity, and coordinate and transformational geometry. Use computers to explore geometric concepts. Apply problem-solving techniques within each topic.

Prerequisite(s): Achieve an appropriate score on the mathematics part of the ACT or SAT, or score at an appropriate level on the Mathematics Placement Test, or completion of MAT 012 or MAT 012E or MAT 013B, or MAT 037 with a grade of at least C, or successful completion of an approved mathematics preparation course.

Crosslisted: Also offered as MAT 222H ; credit is not given for both MAT 222 and MAT 222H .

Note: Although MAT 221 and MAT 222 can be taken in either order, the sequential order is recommended.

Location(s) Typically Offered: Arnold Main Campus (MC)
