does math matter?” This is a fair question, and this question serves as the focal point for the

class. In this course, students will learn and apply proven strategies to solve complex real-world

math problems. They will take on the role of architects to create blueprints for a building

project, as well as take on the role of entrepreneurs to create budgets for a start-up business.
