This course prepares students for math calculations commonly used in biotech and other biomedical science laboratories, and in BLCS courses such as GMS BT 110, 413, and 454. Topics include scientific notation, metric system, solution concentration, dilutions, and logarithmic scales. Some classes are held in the laboratory so that students can apply math skills to solution making, serial dilutions and standard curves. Students also learn strategies for solving word problems and explore the essential elements of data organization, summarization and presentation.
