MATH 154 - Finite Mathematics (3)

This course introduces students to selected topics from finite mathematics. Mathematical models for the analysis of decision-making problems are examined. Topics include the echelon method for solving linear equations, matrix manipulations, optimization by linear programming including the simplex method, risk decisions using probability, expected value, and statistics. Additional topics may be chosen from network models or game theory and students will explore the uses of mathematics.
