Introduction to Math

Introduction to Math: Fighting the Fear If you took math in high school or college, you probably reached a point where you thought, "When am I ever going to use this?" Well, in the business world, you might be surprised by how often you do use math. If you didn't enjoy math back in school, and especially if you struggled with it, this may seem intimidating. In this course, we're going to help with that. We'll discuss how math is important in business and discuss strategies for overcoming your fears.

Introduction to Math: Adding and Subtracting Addition and subtraction are the most commonly used math operations in our daily lives, so it's important to understand how perform them. In this course, we're going to go over common terms, as well as how to do basic addition and subtraction.

Introduction to Math: Choosing the Right Operation Once you've finished with school, most of the math problems you encounter will likely come in the form of word problems. In word problems, you're not told explicitly how to solve them. Instead, you have to use the clues given to you in the words that make up the problem itself. In this program, we'll learn what sort of words to look for to help you choose the right operation to successfully solve the problem.

Introduction to Math: Estimation Basics On a daily basis, you may come across many times when you don't need an exact number to a mathematical equation. When you're mentally calculating a grocery bill so you don't go over budget, or when you're rounding a tip for your server at a restaurant, what you're doing is called estimating. In this course, we'll take a look at how to estimate and when you might need it in business.

Introduction to Math: Finding Averages When we talk about finding averages, we're usually talking about one of three different values: mean, median, or mode. We use these averages to find out what's normal, so we can make predictions about what's going to happen again or compare what's happening now to what's happened in the past. In this program, we're going to talk about what the three types are, as well as how and why to calculate each one of them.

Introduction to Math: Inequalities In this program, we're going to discuss inequalities and comparing numbers in terms of being greater than or less than one another.

Introduction to Math: Multiplying and Dividing Did you ever have to memorize times tables in elementary school? If so, you may or may not be a huge fan of multiplication and division. But the truth is, it's a quick way to add groups of numbers together or to separate a group into even subgroups. In this program, we'll learn the terms used to talk about multiplication and division, as well as strategies to help you master equations.

Introduction to Math: Positive and Negative Numbers In this program, we're going to discuss what positive and negative numbers are and how they're used, so you can get more comfortable with both the concept and practical applications.

Introduction to Math: Understanding Decimals If you've taken our course on fractions, you already understand what happens when an equation doesn't end with a whole number. In this program, we're going to talk about an alternative to fractions called decimals. By the end of our lesson, you'll know what they are and how to use them.

Introduction to Math: Understanding Fractions In math, we often deal in whole numbers. But what happens when things don't end up quite even? What do we do with a remainder in division? Perhaps more importantly, how do we split up that extra slice of pizza? In this course, we'll talk about how to do just that, with a type of number called a fraction. First, we'll define the parts of a fraction, and then we'll talk about how we can use them.

Introduction to Math: Understanding Percentages Fractions and decimals are both ways to express parts of a whole. In this program, we'll talk about one more way: percentages. By the time we've finished today, you'll know what percentages are and how to use them.

Introduction to Math: Understanding the Metric System In the United States, we typically use the English or Imperial system of measurement for everyday purposes, but in most other countries around the world, the metric system of measurement is the standard. Because of this, the metric system is being used more and more often here in the States, so it's vital that you understand it and know how to use it. In this program, we'll go over basic vocabulary and definitions, as well as some common conversions between the Imperial and metric systems.
