Math 105 - Math In Society
Summer Term Hybrid Course: For the hybrid class we meet only once a week and it is compressed into 8 weeks. There is a lot of work required outside of class. There will be video lectures outside of class and required online homework and discussion boards in MyOpenMath. Our small amount of class time will be spent working on the hardest problems together in groups. There will be a midterm, project and final.
