TYP005H1F: Quantitative Reasoning

This half-course is designed to help students improve their ability to think and reason quantitatively, and to improve their problem-solving skills. The course should also help students to overcome any fears that they may have about learning quantitative information because of previous discouragement that they may have encountered in the acquisition of quantitative skills. The first part of the course is devoted to a consolidation of basic mathematics skills; the second part extends these skills in statistical reasoning about information of the sort frequently encountered in social scientific writing.
