Description of Courses

Mathematics

The normal sequences of mathematics are:

MATHEMATICS COURSE SEQUENCE

MATH 112 ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA II (SECOND HALF) (3) Minimum of 48 lecture hours plus 16 hours by arrangement per term. Prerequisite: MATH 111. Recommended Preparation: concurrent enrollment in READ 830. Covers the second half of MATH 110. Second half of a study of elementary algebra including introductions to: exponents, polynomial operations, factoring, rational expressions and equations, roots, radicals and radical equations and quadratic equations. (Note: MATH 111 and MATH 112 together are the equivalent of MATH 110.) (Units do not apply to AA/AS degree.)

Students start math sequence as indicated by the Math Placement Test and other measures as appropriate.

MATH 811

MATH 110

MATH 120

or

MATH 111 + MATH 112

or

MATH 122 + MATH 123

Non Degree Applicable

MATH 115 GEOMETRY (5) Minimum of 80 lecture hours plus 16 hours by arrangement per term. Prerequisite: MATH 110 or 112 OR appropriate score on the College Placement Test. Recommended Preparation: READ 825 or equivalent reading skill level as indicated by reading placement test. Study of the properties of plane and solid figures, using formal logic and the real number system. (AA) MATH 120 INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA (5) Minimum of 80 lecture hours plus 16 hours by arrangement per term. Prerequisite: MATH 110 or 112 OR appropriate score on the College Placement Test. Recommended Preparation: eligibility for READ 400 or an equivalent level of reading proficiency. A comprehensive review of elementary algebra with certain topics studied in greater depth. Extension of fundamental algebraic concepts and operations, problem solving and applications, linear, quadratic, rational, and radical equations, equations in two variables, graphs, systems of equations, complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic functions, sequences and series. (AA: Area C1+E2c)

Associate Degree Applicable

*Not required: Intended as a bridge between MATH 811 and MATH 110 or MATH 111.

See this Catalog, your counselor, or assist.org for transferable math courses related to your preferred major.

University Transferable

Note: MATH 122 and MATH 123 together are the equivalent of MATH 120.

A student who qualifies for a particular mathematics course is eligible for

any course lower in sequence. If the student has not taken a mathematics Scalable above .25 inches:

course during the previous two years, it is strongly recommended that the student enroll in a course below the one for which he or she would normally be eligible. Prerequisites are listed in the descriptions that follow. A grade of C or higher is required for all prerequisite courses. Extra supplies may be required in all Mathematics classes except MATH 811.

MATH 110 ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA (5) Minimum of 80 lecture hours plus 16 hours by arrangement per term. Prerequisite: appropriate score on the College Placement Test or MATH 811 or MATH 802. Recommended Preparation: concurrent enrollment in READ 830. A study of elementary algebra including introduction to: signed number operations, order of operations, linear equations and inequalities in one and two variables, systems of linear equations, exponents, polynomial operations, factoring, rational expressions and equations, roots, radicals and radical equations, and quadratic equations. (Units do not apply toward AA/ Scalable between .25 inches and .18 inches wide: AS degree.)

MATH 122 INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA I (FIRST HALF) (3) Minimum of 48 lecture hours plus 16 hours by arrangement per term. Prerequisite: MATH 110 or 112 or higher OR appropriate score on the College Placement Test. Recommended Preparation: MATH 115 and READ 830. First half of MATH 120, a comprehensive review of elementary algebra with certain topics studied in greater depth. Extension of fundamental algebraic concepts and operations, problem solving and applications, linear, quadratic, rational and radical equations, equations in two variables, graphs, systems of equations, complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic functions, sequences and series. MATH 122 and 123 together are equal to MATH 120. (AA) MATH 123 INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA II (SECOND HALF) (3) Minimum of 48 lecture hours plus 16 hours by arrangement per term. Prerequisite: MATH 122. Recommended Preparation: MATH 115 and READ 830. Covers the Second half of MATH 120, a comprehensive review of elementary algebra with certain topics studied in greater depth. Extension of fundamental algebraic concepts and operations, problem solving and applications, linear, quadratic, rational, and radical equations, equations in two variables, graphs, systems of equations, complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic functions, sequences and series. Math 122 and 123 together are equivalent to Math 120. (AA: Area C1 + E2c)

Courses marked with a (*) are transferable with limitations as specified. If you have any questions, see your counselor/advisor.
