It includes an extensive review of the arithmetic of real numbers and a thorough treatment of beginning algebra, as well as topics from number theory, discrete mathematics and geometry. Problem-solving strategies and applications are emphasized. Prerequisite: Satisfactory placement. Three lecture.
Practical mathematical skills needed in a wide variety of trade and technical areas. Course includes a review of fractions, decimals, percents, measurement, basic algebra and a brief overview of geometry and trigonometry. Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in TLC 092, MAT 100, or satisfactory placement.
Instruction and practice in the mathematics of fundamental business operations. Percentages, payroll, the mathematics of buying, selling and inventory, interest computations, loans, investments and taxes. Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in TLC 092, MAT 100, or satisfactory placement.
Reviews the nature and uses of modern mathematics for students in the arts, humanities, social sciences. It is not intended for science or technical students, but is designed to meet the math requirements for an AAS degree in selected majors. Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in TLC 092, MAT 100, or satisfactory placement.
This course is an introduction to algebra for those who have not previously studied it or for whom it has been some time since doing so. It is the first class in a two-semester course in Algebra. It is assumed that after completion of this class, you will finish the remainder of this algebra sequence by enrolling in MAT 112, Algebra II: Intermediate. This course examines the fundamental ideas of algebra and presents basic laws, properties and operations. Techniques for handling algebraic expressions and solving linear equations and inequalities are covered in depth. Problem-solving strategies and applications are emphasized. Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in MAT 100, or satisfactory placement.
This course is the second part of a two-semester course in algebra. It extends your understanding of basic algebraic concepts and skills. Operations on rational and radical expressions and techniques for solving quadratic, rational, exponential and logarithmic equations are covered in depth. Functions, relations, operations on functions and the graphs and inverses of functions are also covered. Problem-solving strategies and applications are emphasized. Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in MAT 109 or satisfactory placement
This course extends your understanding of basic algebraic concepts and skills. Techniques for solving equations in one and two variables, rational equations, inequalities, polynomials, powers and roots and equations of second degree are covered in depth. Problem-solving strategies and applications are emphasized. Prerequisite: Satisfactory placement. This course covers the content of M109 and M112 in one semester of self study.
Statistical methods used in collecting, tabulating, analyzing, and presenting data. Frequency distributions, measures of central tendency, and elementary probability and statistical inference. Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in MAT 109/112 or MAT 121 or satisfactory placement.
The emphasis in this course is on developing quantitative skills and reasoning ability. The primary topics that will be covered are management science, statistics, social choice and size and shape. Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in MAT 109/112 or MAT 121, or satisfactory placement.
This course presents algebraic concepts at the college level. The approach is intuitive and interactive, with an emphasis on real-life applications and the use of current technologies, particularly graphing calculators. Coursework includes a review of basic algebra, then progresses to techniques for solving equations and inequalities both algebraically and graphically. Also covers polynomial, rational, radical, exponential and logarithmic functions and their graphs, as well as sequences, series, and combinatorics. TI-83 graphing calculators required. Prerequisites: Grade of C or better in MAT 112 or MAT 122, or satisfactory placement.
