Overview

This is probably one of those mathematics classes you expected to have when going into any STEM course. Welcome to Finite Mathematics - which is a very short way to say “Geometry, trigonometry, some precalculus, Advanced Algebra..” and surprisingly, probably only third in theory of the bunch! You’ll be studying the most geometry, some formulas, permutations, and increasingly frustrating depths of Mathematics all for the sake of..

You guessed it. Ruthless torture Your grades Mental practice! Is this going to help you in five years? Maybe for your assignments. In ten? Likely not.

Apparently since it's more of an 'artsy' class this might be beneficial for graphing and blueprinting.

It speaks about Geometry & Design more so than one expects. It covers

  • Symmetry
  • Tessellations
  • Fractals
  • The Divine Proportions
