Math is essential

Learn theorems, laws and other rules; more importantly, you’ll develop analytical skills and sharpen your problem-solving ability. Science, technology and engineering involves deep math skills. However, all careers require a certain level of proficiency in mathematical skills. JCCC courses will improve your skills and knowledge in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus and statistics.

  • Project a business’s profit and loss potential  
  • Encrypt or decrypt software
