MAT140 - DavidGood - 08-10-2024
Does anyone recall what topics are covered in MAT140.
I am waiting for fall I to start. I’m a bit bored, so I might as well watch some Khan Academy videos to pre-study for this class. Should be a quick one, but the faster I plow through this, the better.
Thank you.

It's an easy course at UMPI so I recommend taking it there and getting an easy A. Who can't use an easy course and a GPA boost?

Absolutely. I was trying to find what it covered for pre-study purposes.
"Graphing, exponential and logarithmic functions, mathematics of finance, derivatives and optimization."
Sounds boring, but Khan academy will still be used to refresh my mind.
Thank you!

It covers things like calculating final prices based on discounts (including stacked discounts), sales tax, etc. It covers calculating payroll based on different salary and wage structures and state and local taxes. It covers calculating value and cost of equipment that depreciates over time. Things of that nature - imagine what a business owner or manager would need to be able to calculate, and that is the stuff it focuses on. You'll do fine, good luck!

Excellent. Sounds like what I’ve been doing for 25 years lol.
