Course Information

By the end of this course, students will have demonstrated the ability to evaluate a variety of arithmetic and algebraic expressions and apply these principles to typical problems that arise in the health care fields. Concepts studied include numeracy fundamentals; systems of measurement and dimensional analysis; algebra, with an emphasis on analytical techniques; and geometry. Students will develop essential critical thinking and problem solving skills through exposure to application problems, including dosage calculations and solution dilutions. Students will use numerical methods along with graphs to describe the relationship between quantities.
