[QUOTE="swampwiz, post: 6820705, member: 358750"] Here's what my alma mater (LSU) has in the catalog for liberal arts majors. I guess there it is possible to not even take college algebra. 1029 Introduction to Contemporary Mathematics (3) Ge, F, S, Su Prerequisites: Primarily for students in liberal arts and social sciences. Here is the description of this course in the 2020-2021 and subsequent catalogs: "Mathematical approaches to practical life problems. Topics include counting techniques and probability, statistics, graph theory, and linear programming." 1100 The Nature of Mathematics (3) Ge, F, S, Su Prerequisites: Not for science, engineering, or mathematics majors. For students who desire an exposure to mathematics as part of a liberal education. Here is the description of this course in the 2020-2021 and subsequent catalogs: Using mathematics to solve problems and reason quantitatively. Topics include set theory, logic, personal finance, and elementary number theory. [/QUOTE]
