Description
Description: This course studies the basic elements and applications of finite mathematics. The first half of the class covers the language of set theory, principles of counting and combinatorics, probability theory for equally likely outcomes, elementary stochastic processes, conditional probabilities, and repeated experiments. The concept of a random variable is developed, along with expectation and variance. The second half of the class explores systems of linear equations and matrix algebra, linear programming, and Markov chains. This course considers a broad range of applications in business, the life sciences, and the social sciences.
