Course Category: Mathematics

This course emphasizes study skills for algebra and calculator use while covering the following topics: basic algebra including real numbers, variable expressions, solving equations and equation applications. This course is designed for students who have not had a mathematics course for several years or who have never had an algebra course. This course is the first in a series of two courses that will prepare the student for the general education requirement in mathematics. This course may not be taken for credit after successfully completing a higher level math course. Note: credit from courses below the 100-level does not count toward the minimum 120 hours required for graduation.

This course aims at helping students prepare for the Society of Actuaries P Exam on probability. The application of problems encountered in actuarial science is emphasized. To this end, students will spend their time working on past problems from actual P Exams. Students will be expected to bring their questions to class, and class time will be spent working through them. In order to succeed, students need to be able to analyze a problem and quickly choose an approach to its solution.
