no certificate
with CEU Certificate*
Course Description
First we begin with a comprehensive review of the decimal system and basic calculations. Next are fractions, percent, and ratios. Then we move on to exponents and square roots.
In the next lessons, the learner sets a personal budget and reviews personal finances, including thrift buying, and calculating interest on a loan.
Then there is a discussion of conservation of energy used in the home. Later you're encouraged to learn how to budget personal time and energy as well as your money.
The class then takes you into the business world of purchases and sales, plus some bookkeeping, with a thorough explanation of debits and credits, petty cash, and an overview of financial statements.
In the following lessons, you'll look at graphs, measurements and statistics.
(Is mode the same as average?) After that you'll enter the business office for office etiquette, netiquette, and telephone etiquette. Also the science of
Ergonomics is discussed.
From the beginning, you'll be encouraged to click on web references and also learn how to search for more information via the internet.
The course material includes plenty of examples and exercises for practice, interesting anecdotes about the character, history and origins of our math system from many parts of the world.
Math can be fun! However, calculations do require practice, and then more practice to be easier, more proficient and more fun. But there's no stress and plenty of time to learn at your own pace. Enjoy the course!
