MATH 1630 Finite Mathematics

3 (3 lecture hours) Credit Hour(s)


This course is a study of linear functions and systems, matrices, probability, mathematics of finance, and linear programming. 


General Education Learning Outcomes (TBR Approved)

  • Apply mathematical principles or basic statistical reasoning to solve conceptual or applied problems and determine if solutions are reasonable.  

  • Communicate mathematical concepts using appropriate terminology and symbolic language.  

  • Analyze the behavior of, and solve, real-world problems relating mathematics to other disciplines.  
  • Use appropriate technology to analyze data and graphs, as well as model real-world behavior. 

Student Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  • Demonstrate the ability to graph linear functions. 
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the ability to work with the algebra of polynomial functions and the theory of equations, and to use these techniques to solve problems that are applicable to life and to other disciplines. 
  • Develop and demonstrate the ability to solve and apply systems of linear equations and inequalities in two variables. 
  • Demonstrate the ability to solve systems of equations by different methods and to use the techniques to solve problems that are applicable to other disciplines and to life.
  • Demonstrate the ability to solve probability problems using the basic probability rules and formulas for classical and empirical probability.
  • Demonstrate the ability to formulate and solve linear programming problems graphically.


Prerequisite(s): (1) Grade of “C” or higher in MATH 1000 or (2) ACT score of 19 or above or equivalent or (3) Approval of the Math Department Chair.
