So I am thinking of enrolling in a CC course called “Math 170 - Foundations in Contemporary Math” I need that and an Elementary Statistics course in order to get my General Studies. Thanks in advance! - Also, yeah, I realize this isn’t really the right forum for this question but didn’t know which one it belonged in. . . so sorry
Best to email the professor directly or look under the course description – they would know best. Ask them if they could send you the syllabus.
After Googling the course title and number, I came across this page:
http://courses.vccs.edu/colleges/jtcc/courses/MTH170-FoundationsinContemporaryMathematics
If this page is accurate, then it appears the course in question is about mathematical applications to social science. It likely covers topics such as basic combinatorics (counting problems), linear programming, statistics and probability, and basic modeling concepts. It should all be simple enough to pick up quickly, and if you come across anything that gives you particular trouble, feel free to ask.
Good luck.
