Transfer.
S 13
As the number of levels of pre-transfer-level
mathematics an entering community college student
must complete increases, the likelihood that the
student will ever successfully complete a transferlevel mathematics course decreases according to
large research studies conducted both inside and
outside of California. By offering “Algebra for
Statistics” the mathematics department aims to
provide students with an opportunity to follow a
more fruitful path into transfer-level Math 13,
Introduction to Statistics. Contextualizing the
algebra curriculum and focusing instruction on the
skills, methods and ways of thinking needed for
understanding statistical applications is expected to
ignite student interest, increase retention and
success, and prepare students to succeed in Math
13 the following semester. Not for science,
technology, engineering, mathematics, nursing or
business majors.
