Class Description

This course is designed to help you completely understand significant figures and its rules, rounding up of numbers and its rules, and also mathematical operations involving significant figures.


After spending a lot of time solving a problem - have you ever had to choose the correct answer out of a set like this?:

 -> 1.025

 -> 1.03

 -> 1.0251


This is the nightmare of anyone who does not have mastery of significant figures. Well now that you are in university, you will find more and more classes that just assume you understand significant figures. These include biology, chemistry, physics, statistics and much more. Therefore this course is a must-have for anyone who expects to take at least one math or science university course.
