Quantitative Reasoning
Students learn to comprehend and apply mathematical concepts in authentic contexts, developing tools for reasoning with data, logic, and quantitative methods.
Quantitative Reasoning (FC-QUANT) is a required Focus Capacity course in the IDEAs in Action curriculum.
A single course may be used to fulfill only one Focus Capacity requirement (not including lab).
