NOTES: This course requires significant mathematical skills and Excel knowledge for student success. It is apparent that the range of these skills is significant. In order to balance this, the course now has a lab attached to it that will be mandatory for students that fail to pass an introductory quiz in the
LGM 205 class and highly recommended for all others.
