of calculators and focus on study habits needed to succeed in mathematics.
4 units SC • 90 hours lecture/36 hours laboratory by arrangement per term • Prerequisite: Placement through the assessment process or MATH 075 or MATH 075SP or equivalent • Note: This course has a lab requirement (see hours by arrangement in course listing). The labs will be assigned by your instructor and will be a significant portion of your course grade. The labs require computer and internet access, but may be completed in any location with such access, on or off campus.
MATH-075 Prealgebra with Arithmetic Review 4 units SC • Non degree applicable • 72 hours lecture/36 hours laboratory by arrangement per term • Recommended: MATH 065 or equivalent • Note: This course has a lab requirement (see hours by arrangement in course listing), representing a significant portion of your course grade. Labs require computer and internet access, but may be completed in any location with such access, on or off campus.
Students will learn pre algebra, review arithmetic, and learn how to use them in their daily lives. Topics include the arithmetic operations, long multiplication and division, decimals, fractions, percents, signed numbers, natural number exponents, order of operations, introduction to the concept of variables, combining like terms, solving linear equations, application problems and the use of geometric formulas.
MATH-075SP Prealgebra with Arithmetic Review-Self Paced 4 units SC • Non degree applicable • 54 hours lecture/72 hours laboratory by arrangement per term • Recommended: MATH 065 or equivalent • Note: In this computer-assisted self-paced class, students study out of the textbook and online and take a combination of online and in-class exams. This course has a lab requirement (see hours by arrangement in course listing). The labs may require computer access. 50% of your lab hours must be completed in the DVC Math Lab, and the rest may be completed in any location with computer access, on or off campus. Students may choose to complete MATH 075SP in one semester, or take up to 4 semesters. MATH 075SP is equivalent to MATH 075; students who have completed MATH 075 will not receive credit for MATH 075SP.
This course is a computer-assisted self-paced class equivalent to MATH 075. Students will learn prealgebra, review arithmetic, and learn how to use both in their daily lives. Topics include arithmetic operations, long multiplication and division, decimals, fractions, percents, signed numbers, natural number exponents, order of operations, introduction to the concept of variables, combining like terms, solving linear equations, application problems and the use of geometric formulas.
MATH-080 Topics in Basic Skills Math .3-4 units SC • May be repeated three times • Non degree applicable • Variable hours
This is a supplemental course in mathematics to provide a variety of topics for basic skills students. Specific topics will be announced in the schedule of classes. Diablo Valley College
This course is an introduction to the techniques and reasoning of algebra, including linear equations and inequalities, development and use of formulas, algebraic expressions, systems of equations, graphs and introduction to quadratic equations.

Students may choose to complete MATH 110SP in one semester, or take up to 4 semesters. MATH 110SP is equivalent to MATH 110; students who have completed MATH 110 will not receive credit for MATH 110SP.
This course is a computer-assisted self-paced equivalent to MATH 110. The topics include linear equations and inequalities, development and use of formulas, algebraic expressions, systems of equations, operations on polynomials, factoring, graphs, and an introduction to quadratic equations.
MATH-111
Study Skills Support for Elementary Algebra
1 unit SC • May be repeated two times • 18 hours lecture per term • Co-requisite: MATH 110 or MATH 110SP or equivalent • Note: MATH 111 is designed for students currently enrolled in MATH 110 who want extra support and assistance with study skills. It is especially recommended for students who have previously attempted MATH 110 without success.
This course is an optional support course intended to supplement MATH 110: Elementary Algebra. Students will learn and implement study skills designed to help improve their performance in their Elementary Algebra course. Topics will include time management, note taking, memory techniques, studying for tests, test anxiety and math anxiety.
