College Algebra: MAT160

This guide contains resources to help with your assignment in MAT160 College Algebra.

Select a dataset from the sources listed in this guide. The complete collection of datasets and statistics is found at the Datasets and Statistics guide listed below.

If you are not sure how to access scholarship for your paper, check out the Introduction to Library Research (linked below).

You can also contact David Davisson, or stop by the Research Help Desk for research help during the time listed (see link for Research Help hours below).

You can cite datasets and statistics in any formatting style:

APA (OWL Purdue) - Used in the Social Sciences

example:

Citing Data Sets

MLA (OWL Purdue) - Used in the Humanities

Because MLA style is most often used in the humanities, it is unlikely that you will include raw scientific data in an MLA-style paper, but you may be asked to include other kinds of research in your writing. See citing Tables, Figures, and Examples for more information.

Rule of thumb, make sure to include as many of these elements in your citation:

• Author / Principal Investigator:  the person(s) or institution responsible for compiling the data
• Year of publication
• Title of data source
• Edition or Version number
• Producer and Distributor: if data are archived, include the producer/distributor and location
• URL for the dataset, preferably a DOI
