MATH 217

Continuation ofMATH 171. Topics in algebra, trigonometry and precalculus are integrated with elementary differential calculus. Completion ofMATH 217implies completion ofMATH 221and114.

PREPARATORY ALGEBRA

MATH 96

Covers the necessary mathematical tools needed to succeed in our algebra course and provides fundamental mathematical skills. Topics include real numbers, linear equations and inequalities, integral and fractional exponents, polynomials and their arithmetic, polynomial equations and equations with fractional exponents, the quadratic formula and completing the square, systems of two linear equations, graphing, and problem solving using algebra and graphs. All students must pass an assessment on basic mathematical skills to complete the course. The course does not count for degree credit.

WES CALCULUS SUPPLEMENT

MATH 228

Topics in algebra, trigonometry, differential, integral and multi-variable calculus and analytic geometry will be covered depending on which calculus courseMATH 228is attached to.MATH 228must be taken in conjunction with the appropriate WES section ofMATH 171,217,221,222, or234.

CALCULUS WITH ALGEBRA AND TRIGONOMETRY I

MATH 171

Topics in algebra, trigonometry and precalculus are integrated with elementary differential calculus. Part of a 2-semester sequence withMATH 217; these two courses together are equivalent toMATH 114and221.
