Week 3: Analyzing and Evaluating Mathematical Knowledge
This week we will continue reflecting on the learning outcomes for the Mathematics Major by exploring the second cognitive outcome: Analyze and evaluate knowledge within the major area. You will be reflecting on how your work throughout this program has met the different facets of this outcome.
Week 3 Overview 
The following learning outcome(s) will be explored in this week’s lesson:
2. Analyze and evaluate knowledge within the major area.
a. Demonstrate computational skills using elements of the real number system.
b. Collect, organize and evaluate real number data.
c. Demonstrate computational skills in numerical and non-numerical (word) problem solving.
Mathematics Major Learning Outcomes
Mathematics is both a symbolic language and a way of thinking. A universal science and a key component of a liberal arts education, mathematics is a critical tool for technological advancement and practical problem-solving in a complex natural and social world. The major provides training in logic and critical thinking, and helps students gain a mastery of calculus, algebra, geometry, statistics, and computer programming. Grades are prepared for a wide range of careers including teaching, computer science, engineering, finance, actuarial science, business, investments, behavioral sciences, and research.
Cognitive Learning Outcomes
To demonstrate intellectual growth and competence through the Mathematics Major, students will:
1. Acquire, comprehend, organize, and apply knowledge within the major area.
a)  Distinguish the nature of mathematical concepts, processes, or relationships from analysis, algebra, geometry, calculus, logic, probability and statistics, applied mathematics, and number theory.
b)  Apply standards required by profession of choice.
 2. Analyze and evaluate knowledge within the major area.
a)  Analyze application of mathematical structures and their logical consequences.
b)  Interpret and…
