MAC³ and Geology

Math, Geology, and Economics

In this project the faculty created modules that will be used in a selected mathematics course (College Algebra) and in applied content courses of General Geology and Economics. The modules make use of three representations of relations, namely data tables, graphs, and formulas.

Going With the Flow: Stream Statistics
Create a module that incorporates statistics and geoscience into our liberal arts math course. Test module with a small group. Eventually use in geoscience courses and linked math and geoscience courses.

do unit conversions
use mathrmatics/statistics to solve problems
collect data to use for a sample
analyze data numerically and graphically
compare a sample to a population (or a large data set)
