During the years 2000-2003, a course on Exploring Quantitative Relationships (EQR) was created at Queens College under the support of the U.S. Department of Education Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education (DOE-FIPSE Grant No. P116B000772). Exploratory in nature, the course goals were to acquaint liberal arts students with mathematical techniques that can be applied to a wide array of disciplines. This was accomplished using an Excel spreadsheet program that allowed students to set up systems of equations and to visualize scientific data, without the apprehensions associated with solving detailed mathematical systems. This paper comes at the summation of the three-year project and reports on extensive student surveys conducted throughout the semester and at various points of their learning. Specifically, the EQR course positively influenced liberal arts students in the following ways: (1) Introductory computer literacy courses encouraged liberal arts majors to enroll in science and mathematics courses; (2) By using spreadsheet applications, many students gained confidence for tackling/solving problems involving mathematical formulations; and (3) Many students indicated interest in retaining the concepts learned by (re)viewing materials related to the course.
