The College Math section of the Students Again website is where information pertaining to a college math course (aka business math) can be found. As you use the navigational menu you will find information including discussions, sample exams, sample homework, presentations, and many other resources. These resources will help any student understand the concepts taught in a college math course. Some of the concepts you can expect to cover in a college math course includes: Real numbers; consumer mathematics; variation; functions, relations, and graphs; geometry of measurement; probability and statistics; sets and logic. The following is a brief description of some of the concepts in college math to give you an idea of what you can expect in this section.***
Real Numbers
Include:
Whole Numbers (such as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.)
Rational Numbers (such as 3/4, 0.125, 0.333..., 1.1, etc.)
Irrational Numbers (such as,
, etc.)
Consumer Mathematics
Consumer math is a field of mathematics, which utilizes basic math skills and shows how to apply those skills to real life situations. Some examples of situations that would require consumer math could be buying a car, budgeting your money, investing, paying taxes, and more.
Variation
Variation problems involve simple relationships or formulas with one variable being equal to one term. The term could be linear, quadratic, more than one variable, a square root, or something else. But it is always just the one term in the formula, multiplied by some number, usually denoted by "k" if you don't yet know the number's value; this number "k" is called "the constant of variation."
Functions And Relations
A relation is a set of inputs and outputs that are often written in ordered pairs. A function is a relation in which each input has only one output.
