EES 155 - EARTHQUAKES AND QUANTITATIVE REASONING

College of Arts and Sciences

Credit(s): 3

Earthquake phenomena will be introduced in a manner that will allow students to learn why, where, and how earthquakes occur using elements of fundamental topics in algebra and trigonometry. These quantitative foundations will be used to investigate the origins and hazards associated with earthquakes, as well as their societal implications in both the United States and developing world. Students will often work in small groups to increase confidence in orally communicating their quantitative thinking and defending their logic, as well as providing an opportunity to consider alternative problem solving strategies.
