Students will become fluent with concepts commonly mentioned in the media but rarely understood fully by the average viewer.

This class is geared to those who want to understand the rhetoric of math, become more literate in the issues pervasive in media, and gain an important set of workplace skills in the process. Topics have a wide range and include investment types and the current "market meltdown," exchange rates, globalization and debt, election polling, health statistics, clinical drug trials, cultural differences in unemployment policy and related implications, data display, and "lying" with graphs.
