I'm not the best when it comes to Math, but I know that it's part of General Ed requirements in college. Can someone tell me what's the most basic Math class usually taken in college?
The most basic math course traditionally offered in college is the course on "College Algebra." This course typically covers topics like linear equations, quadratic equations, factoring, rational expressions, roots, complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic functions, and some introductory level trigonometric concepts.
However, degree requirements and course offerings can vary greatly depending on the institution, so it's important to carefully review the general education requirements of the colleges you're considering. Some colleges might demand a course in statistics or quantitative reasoning as their baseline math requirement, while others might only require a non-algebra course like Contemporary Mathematics.
It's also worth noting that most colleges offer some form of a developmental math or remedial course for students who struggle with math. These are often not college-level credit bearing courses but are designed to prepare students for college-level math courses. It's always a good idea to contact the admissions or academic advising office for specific information about a college's math requirements.
