Rationale for Quantitative Reasoning - This course is a General Education course because it is designed to teach students in the fundamentals of mathematical and philosophical logic, both deductive and inductive. Logic is the method of correct reasoning, and thus the skills students acquire in this course will serve as a foundation for rational inquiry in any discipline. This is a course in Quantitative Reasoning because it gives students the skills that will enable them to solve potential real-world problems using the methods and principles of mathematical logic. They will learn to evaluate quantitative information and analyze, critique and evaluate situations using deductive logic, model theory, inductive logic, and the probability calculus.
