Liberty MATH 114: Quantitative Reasoning
MATH 114 is Liberty's general-education math course for non-STEM majors, covering practical quantitative skills: proportions, percentages, financial math, basic statistics, and measurement. It's the math requirement most online students take, assessed through weekly homework sets, quizzes, and applied projects.

Build my MATH 114 study planWhat makes it hard
For students years removed from math, the pace is the problem — a new topic cluster each week of the sub-term with homework due before the concept fully settles. The applied problems (loan calculations, statistical summaries) require translating word problems into setups, which is where most errors happen.
What you'll cover
- • Proportions, rates, and percentages
- • Financial math: interest, loans, budgeting
- • Descriptive statistics
- • Probability basics
- • Measurement and unit conversion
- • Problem solving with real-world data
The MATH 114 study guide
How to study for Liberty MATH 114, step by step.
- 1
Practice a little every day
MATH 114 is built for students years removed from math, and short daily sessions are how those skills come back. Fifteen focused minutes daily outperforms a Sunday cram in every module.
- 2
Master the setup, not just the answer
The applied problems — loan payments, statistical summaries — go wrong at the translation step, turning words into a calculation. When a problem stumps you, re-do the setup until it's obvious, then move on.
- 3
Do every homework problem
The quizzes mirror the homework closely, so the assigned problems are effectively a preview of the graded ones. Complete coverage of the homework is the cheapest insurance in the course.
- 4
Never let a sub-term week slide
A new topic cluster arrives every week of the 8-week format with no review buffer. Falling behind in week 3 means learning two clusters in week 4 — catch up the same week, always.

FAQ
Is MATH 114 hard?
It's designed to be Liberty's most accessible math course — practical arithmetic and statistics rather than algebra-heavy content. Rusty math skills plus the 8-week pace is the only real difficulty combination.
Is MATH 114 easier than college algebra?
Generally yes — it focuses on quantitative literacy (money, percentages, basic stats) rather than abstract algebra. Non-STEM majors who dread math usually find it the friendlier requirement.
How do I pass MATH 114?
Short daily practice beats weekend cramming, and do every homework problem — the quizzes mirror them closely. When a word problem stumps you, master the setup, not just that one answer.
