Rationale for Quantitative Reasoning - The focus of MATH 112 is on the important families of functions used in calculus, their properties, and their applications. Students will learn to use functions to model physical phenomena, and catalog of functions - linear, power, quadratic, polynomial, rational, absolute value. exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric. By the end of the course, students will know the basic properties and graphs of all of these families of functions, and will know how to use them as models for real-world applications.
