Rationale for Quantitative Reasoning - This course emphasizes problem analysis, collaboration, and implementation of quantitative skills. Students will learn techniques and principles of computer algorithmic development and empirical analysis that will inform them in their decisions as professionals and citizens. These skills provide the foundation for general problem-solving skills that students can use throughout their EMU careers and beyond. As such, COSC 106 meets the requirements for a course in the Quantitative Reasoning category of the General Education program.
