Course Description

Math 110 – Critical Thinking, Finance, Logic, & Probability (3 credits)

Though mathematics may appear unrelated to biblical studies or Christian ministry, it is fundamentally applied logic, a form of applied theology. Recognizing this connection highlights the importance of logical thinking and practical math skills in exploring biblical texts and conducting Christian ministry. This course will encompass the following four main topics, each explored through a biblical lens using practical, real-world examples:
– Critical Thinking: Including logical argumentation, fallacies, and biblical analysis.
– Finance: Focusing on biblical financial principles and practical money matters including budgeting, saving, spending, taxes, investment strategies, debt management, and charitable giving.
– Logic: Covering logical analysis history, techniques, and notation.
– Probability: Delving into practical and Bayesian probability.
Students are expected to complete weekly assignments and undertake special projects such as the logical examination of Scripture and the creation of a personal budget. Further evaluation will be gained from weekly quizzes and a midterm and final exam.

Took an average of 6-7 hours a week, and would have taken much more if I hadn’t had help with the homework.

This course is extremely helpful in understanding all things financial and in learning logic. I think this course is invaluable to all young people.
