Online Pre-Calculus Course
Financial, Economic, and Business Literacy 21st Century Skill
During the summer I chose to enroll in a Pre-Calculus class to fill the time and maybe even get a little ahead in school. One thing that surprised me about this course is how much of the math I learned is used in all kinds of different professions. This includes jobs in economics and business in general. That makes the whole class a great example of financial, economic, and business literacy.
One of the first things you learn about in the Pre-Calculus course is interest and how to calculate it. Interest is used all the time in the financial world and it is extremely important to know how it works and how to calculate it. The class has taught me the formulas for all types of interest in many scenarios. This includes simple interest, compound interest, and I even know how to calculate the rate of inflation.
Now that I'm done with Pre-Calculus, I know all about exponential growths that apply to interest. I even know about regression models and how they are used by businesses to predict many things related to their finances. Not only has this class helped me understand finances more than ever, but it opened me up to a whole side of business I didn't even know. That's why I think this course is a great example of the Financial, Economic, and Business Literacy 21st Century Skill.
