Q Courses
This page is a list of all the Q courses offered at UConn by the Department of Mathematics.
For more general information, consider the following:
Mathematics
Description: The course emphasizes two components necessary for success in 100-level courses which employ mathematics. The first component consists of basic algebraic notions and their manipulations. The second component consists of the practice of solving multi-step problems from other disciplines, called mathematical modeling. The topics include: lines, systems of equations, polynomials, rational expressions, exponential and logarithmic functions. Students will engage in group projects in mathematical modeling.
Offered: Spring, Fall
Credits: 3
| Q Center Tutoring Available: Yes |
Comments: Strongly recommended as preparation for Q courses for students whose high school algebra needs reinforcement.

Description: An introduction to the techniques used by mathematicians to solve problems. Skills such as Externalization (pictures and charts), Visualization (associated mental images), Simplification, Trial and Error, and Lateral Thinking learned through the study of mathematical problems. Problems drawn from combinatorics, probability, optimization, cryptology, graph theory, and fractals. Students will be encouraged to work cooperatively and to think independently.
