Foundations of College Mathematics (MBF3C)

By the end of this course, students will:

• Make connections between the numeric, graphical, and algebraic representations of quadratic relations, and use the connections to solve problems;
• Demonstrate an understanding of exponents, and make connections between the numeric, graphical, and algebraic representations of exponential relations;
• Describe and represent exponential relations, and solve problems involving exponential relation arising from real-world applications.

By the end of this course, students will:

• Compare simple and compound interest, relate compound interest to exponential growth, and solve problems involving compound interest;
• Compare services available from financial institutions, and solve problems involving the cost of making purchases on credit;
• Interpret information about owning and operating a vehicle, and solve problems involving the associated costs.

By the end of this course, students will:

• Represent, in a variety of ways, two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional figures arising from real- world applications, and solve design problems;
• Solve problems involving trigonometry in acute triangles using the sine law and the cosine law, including problems arising from real- world applications.

By the end of this course, students will:

• Solve problems involving one-variable data by collecting, organizing, analysing, and evaluating data;
• Determine and represent probability, and identify and interpret its applications
