Intermediate Algebra LEC 80-90 This course prepares the student for transfer-level math courses. Topics for this class include solving absolute value inequalities and radical equations along with systems of equations involving three variables. Application problems are an essential part of the course. The graphing of conic sections and several types of functions including exponential functions will also be covered. Function notation, domain, range and determining if a relation is a function will be explored. Prerequisite: MATH-090 or MATH-090B (with a grade of C or better) or equivalent assessment score. --AA/AS General Education: AA/AS G --Not transferable
Pre-Algebra + Lab LEC 32-36/LAB 48-54 (formerly Foundations of Mathematics + Lab (Pre-Algebra)) This course is designed to prepare students for Elementary Algebra. The course covers basic arithmetic, working with rational numbers and percentages. Other topics taught will include conversions within and between the metric and standard systems. Topics in geometry and algebra will be introduced. In addition to lecture, the students will also work on lab activities. This course is designed to give students ample time in class to understand the concepts covered in the lecture. Prerequisite: MATH-050 (with a grade of C or better) or Accuplacer score of 45 or better.
