Course Learning Objectives

CO1: Students should become proficient in using combinatorics and probability to model problems in a variety of applied areas. This includes identifying which problems can be solved using such methods, solving the resulting mathematical problems, and drawing qualitative conclusions from the numerical solutions.

CO2: Students should become proficient in modeling using systems of linear equations in a variety of applied areas. This includes creating variables, translating information about the relationships among these variables into linear equations, incorporating other given data, solving the resulting mathematical problems, and drawing qualitative conclusions from the numerical solutions.

CO3: Students should become proficient in modeling linear decision-making problems in settings drawn both from business and from everyday experience. This includes creating variables, translating given constraint information into linear inequalities, incorporating given data, solving the resulting linear optimization problem, and deducing optimal decision choices by analysis and by graphical representation of the constraints.
