MATHEMATICS COURSE DESCRIPTION

MATH 0101 Developmental  Math
Credit: 1 (1 lecture)

An individualized curriculum intended  for students who have completed the College developmental math sequence through MATH 0312, but have yet to demonstrate achievement of the appropriate TASP standard. Counselor's approval required.

MATH 0102 Basic Mathematics
Credit: 1 (1 lecture)

Designed for students who have tested below MATH 0306 and require a self-paced presentation of the basic operations in whole numbers. Counselor's approval required.

MATH 0105 Developmental Mathematics Geometry
Credit: 1 (1 lecture)

Topics include basic geometry  concepts dealing with perimeters, areas, capacities, volumes and relationships between figures. This course is designed to provide instruction for students who  enter the math sequence at Math 0312 or above.   Its purpose is to help prepare  students for the geometry section of TASP.

MATH 0306 Fundamentals of  Mathematics I
Credit: 3 (3 lecture)

Topics include fundamental operations  in whole numbers, fractions and decimals, percents, ratios, and proportion,  descriptive statistics, and an introduction to the real numbers.  All students who enroll in this course are expected to complete Math 0308, and Math 0312 in  the following consecutive semesters before attempting their first college-level  mathematics course (usually Math 1314 College Algebra). A departmental final exam will be given in this course.

MATH 0308 Fundamentals of Mathematics II
Credit: 3 (3 lecture)

Topics include real numbers, basic geometry, polynomials, factoring, linear equations, and inequalities quadratic equations, and rational expressions. A departmental final examination must be  passed in order to pass the course.

MATH 0312 Intermediate Algebra
Credit: 3 (3 lecture)

Topics include factoring techniques, radicals, algebraic fractions, complex numbers, graphing linear equations and inequalities, quadratic equations, system of equations, graphing quadratic equations, and an introduction to functions. Emphasis is placed on algebraic techniques in order to successfully complete Math 1314 College Algebra.  A departmental final examination must be passed in order to pass this course.

MATH 1314 College Algebra
Prerequisite: MATH 0312 or satisfactory test score
Credit: 3 (3 lecture)

Topics include quadratics, polynomial, rational, logarithmic and exponential functions, system of  equations, progression, sequences and series, matrices and determinants. A departmental final examination will be given in this course. Core curriculum course.
