Prerequisite: MAT 094 or appropriate placement test scores.
Includes a study of mathematical techniques as applied to problems in business and the contemporary world. The primary focus will be on algebraic, graphing and statistical techniques. (Not recommended for science or math majors.)
Prerequisite: MAT 094 with a grade of C- or higher or appropriate placement test score.
Includes a study of functions, relations, and graphs; applications; linear functions and inequalities; quadratic and other polynomial functions; exponents and radical expressions; rational expressions and equations; and systems of equations. Students must earn a C- or higher to move to the next level course.
Prerequisite: MAT 136 or appropriate test score.
This course must be passed with a minimum grade of C. A mathematics course designed for and required of students preparing to teach in the elementary schools. Topics include number systems and their properties, problem-solving, developing mathematically correct and clear explanations of mathematical ideas, applications, and diagnosis of student error patterns. Computer component to the course.
Prerequisite: MAT 136 or appropriate test score.
The goals of the course are to develop, as fully as possible, the mathematical and quantitative capabilities of the student; to enable them to understand a variety of applications of mathematics; to prepare them to think logically in subsequent courses and situations in which mathematics occurs; and to increase their confidence in their ability to reason mathematically. Topics that could be included in the course: applications of everyday mathematics, symmetry, transformations, voting strategies, circuits & pathways. This course transfers easily to most four-year institutions.
