Mathematics Department

Mathematics is a language of its own. Math teaches us how to think and to understand the world around us. The Aims Mathematics Department helps you acquire the math and problem-solving skills you'll need to succeed in nearly any profession. 

Aims offers three general types of math courses that vary depending on your level of math experience and goals:

1. Math literacy courses for students who aren't yet ready for college-level math classes (Math 0250 and Math 0300)
2. Math classes geared toward students earning certain career and technical education associate degrees who plan on entering the workforce after graduation (Math for Clinical Calculations, Career Math, Technical Mathematics and Financial Math)
3. Math classes geared toward students earning liberal arts degrees, including transfer degrees such as the mathematics associate degree.

As a new Aims student, you'll take a math placement test to gauge your current skill level for math classes.

Next, you'll get help choosing math classes to help you fulfill the necessary requirements for your specific educational goals.

Once you begin taking math classes at Aims, your instructors will support and guide you toward understanding of concepts and encourage you to ask questions and seek additional assistance as needed.

Aims offers math courses designed to prepare you to go on to earn a bachelor's degree in either mathematics or other subjects that emphasize math skills, such as the sciences, engineering or statistics.

Thanks to a statewide articulation agreement, you can earn an associate degree in mathematics and other subjects at Aims that is guaranteed to transfer to a participating public four-year school in Colorado.
