MATH 0097 Introductory Algebra
(4-0-4)
MATH 0097 is an introductory algebra course designed for students with some
mathematical background who need additional algebraic skills. Topics include
fractions, decimals, signed numbers, linear equations, systems of equations in
two variables, exponents, inequalities, polynomials, factoring, and graphing linear
equations. Topics will be supported by appropriate technology. Exit requirement:
A grade of "C" or better in the course.
Placement: A score below 37 on the COMPASS Algebra Test.
Offered: All semesters.
MATH 0099 Intermediate Algebra
(4-0-4)
MATH 0099 is a continuation of MATH 0097. Topics include linear equations
and inequalities, factoring, polynomials, exponents, roots and radicals, rational
expressions, complex numbers, quadratic equations, and basic elements of
geometry. Topics will be supported by appropriate technology. Exit
Requirement: A grade of "C" or better in the course and a Compass Algebra
Test score of 37 or above.
Placement: Successful completion of MATH 0097.
Offered: All semesters.
MATH 1001 Quantitative Skills and Reasoning
(3-0-3)
This course is an alternative in Area A of the Core Curriculum and is not intended
to supply sufficient algebraic background for students who intend to take
Precalculus, trigonometry, or the calculus sequence for mathematics and science
majors. This course places quantitative skills and reasoning in the context of
experiences that students will be likely to encounter. It emphasizes processing
information in context from a variety of representations, understanding of both
the information and the processing, and understanding which conclusions can be
reasonably determined. A graphing calculator is required. MATH 1001 is a math
course for non-science majors and may be used as a prerequisite to MATH 2205
and/or MATH 1145. Students receiving credit for MATH 1001 cannot receive
credit for MATH 1111.
Prerequisites: MATH 0099 or satisfactory score on math placement test.
Offered: Every Semester.
MATH 1111 College Algebra
(3-0-3)
This course is a functional approach to algebra that incorporates the use of
applied technology. Emphasis will be placed on the study of functions and their
graphs, inequalities, and linear, quadratic, piece-wise defined, rational,
polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Appropriate applications will
be included. A graphing calculator is required. Students receiving credit for
MATH 1111 cannot receive credit for MATH 1001.
Prerequisite: MATH 0099 or satisfactory score on math placement test.
Offered: All semesters.
