Strategies include modeling, using symmetry, algebra, logical reasoning, set theoretical analysis, detecting patterns, and making predictions. Emphasis is placed on developing skills in analysis, estimation, and verification. Prerequisite: complete University's Directed Self-Placement process. Corequisite: MA 019W.
