Quantitative reasoning refers to the ability to think critically and analytically using abstract formal methods with broad application. In 1982, the Undergraduate Curriculum Review Committee wrote that a quantitative reasoning course "... must acquaint the student with how to analyze, manipulate, and understand quantitative data." We support the broader view that a quantitative reasoning course should foster critical thinking skills and develop formal reasoning abilities. That is, " quantitative reasoning" can be understood to include reasoning with formal symbols, as well as with numbers. We recognize that certain courses in symbolic logic and computer science, in addition to mathematics and statistics, can promote the goals of the quantitative reasoning requirement.
