An overview of induction and deduction, sets, numbers, and numeration. Topics include patterns and sequences, counting techniques, sets, relations and functions, logic (implication and validity), numeration (base and place syntax and algorithms), number systems (axioms, rational operations, and modular arithmetic), and measurement. Where appropriate, these topics are applied to problem-solving strategies. This course is intended for Elementary Education majors and is aligned with the Alabama Course of Study-MATHEMATICS, but is open to any student meeting the prerequisite. Prerequisite(s): A grade of C or better in either MATH 147 or MATH 157, and in either MATH 144 or MATH 154.
