This course is designed to fulfill the mathematics requirements of the student in business administration, management, life sciences, or social sciences. The course covers a variety of topics including linear functions, systems of equations and inequalities, matrices, linear programming, elementary combinatorial techniques, sets, Venn diagrams, elementary probability, and the mathematics of finance. Application problems to business, economics and social sciences are emphasized throughout. This course includes lab time to provide just-in-time review of prerequisite skills, extra content instruction, and active learning opportunities to support student learning. Graphing calculators are used extensively. The TI-84 PLUS is used for instructor demonstrations. Since MATH 20EX and MATH 20 are equivalent courses, credit may be awarded for either MATH 20EX OR MATH 20 but not both. (UC, CSU, C-ID MATH 130)
