Mathematics

MAT 090: Pre-Algebra

Credits: 3
This covers pre-algebra topics, such as order of operations, fractions, decimals, ratio and proportions, percents, basic equation solving, and basic geometry with an emphasis on applications. Scientific calculator required.

MAT 092: Beginning Algebra

Credits: 3
This is a first course in Algebra, covering the properties of real numbers, equations and inequalities in one variable, polynomials, exponents, factoring, and geometry with emphasis on applications. Point plotting and rational expressions may also be included.  Scientific calculator required.
Prereq. C or better in MAT 090 or placement exam

MAT 101: Intermediate Algebra

Credits: 4
The student who has had some algebra is offered the opportunity to review and extend knowledge of the algebraic structure of the real numbers.  This course begins with elementary algebra and carries through quadratic equations, systems of equations, and inequalities both linear and quadratic, complex numbers and exponents.  Scientific calculator required.
Prereq. C or better in MAT or 092 or placement exam

MAT 104: College Algebra (G7)

Credits: 4
This course is designed for the student who needs an advanced math course to serve as a prerequisite for (a) a finite math course, (b) a business calculus course or standard calculus course, or (c) to satisfy a liberal arts requirement. Topics include the algebra of functions (polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic), graphing, conic sections, solving equations, including systems. Graphing calculator required.
Prereq. C or better MAT 101 or placement exam

MAT 105: General Education Math (G7)

Credits: 3
This course focuses on mathematical reasoning and the solving of real-life problems, rather than on routine skills and appreciation. A maximum of four of the following topics studied in depth: geometry, counting techniques and probability, graph theory, logic, game theory, linear programming, and statistics. The use of calculators and computers is strong encouraged.  Scientific calculator required.
Prereq. MAT 101
