ABOUT THIS COURSE
It reviews the fundamentals taught in a college course for nonmathematics majors and majors in fields not requiring knowledge of advanced mathematics. Our goal as creators of this course is to prepare you to pass the College Board’s CLEP examination and obtain college credit for free.
Through the guidance of Dr. James Murphy this course will provide you with mathematics skills and knowledge on key concepts, including algebra and functions, counting and probability, data analysis and statistics, financial mathematics, geometry, logic and sets and numbers.
During the examination, an online scientific calculator (non-graphing) will be available.
“College Mathematics” is a completely self-paced course. It has no prerequisites and it is offered entirely for free.
CLEP Exam
This course is designed to prepare you for the CLEP College Mathematics exam and cover other related topics as well.
