    The goal of this General Education introductory-level course is to acquaint the student with the nature and spirit of mathematics -terminology, fundamental principles, generalizations, and their application to problem solving -through study of a broad spectrum of topics. The underlying thrust of the course will be to bolster the students' analytical and critical thinking skills, and to develop the ability to effectively communicate the rationale behind this thinking. Areas of coverage will include Problem Solving Strategies and Techniques, Set Theory, and at least three additional appropriate areas of Mathematical Inquiry. Applications of the mathematical concepts and techniques taught in this course will also be illustrated. This course cannot be used by mathematics majors to fulfill mathematics major program requirements.
