PRECALCULUS

MATH 112

Properties of elementary functions, such as polynomial, absolute value, radical, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Topics include equations, inequalities, functions, and their graphs. Formulating, analyzing, solving, and interpreting mathematical and real-world problems. Provides the algebra skills required for calculus.

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.

MATH 113

Covers the graphs, properties and geometric significance of trigonometric functions of a real variable. Other topics include trigonometric equations and identities, application, trigonometric form of complex numbers, DeMoivre's theorem, and polar and parametric equations. The course also has a significant number of applications, especially related to other disciplines.

MATH 421

Covers material in first and second semester calculus but it is intended to teach math majors to write and understand proofs in mathematics in general and in calculus in particular.

MATH 211

Essential concepts of differential and integral calculus; exponential and logarithmic functions; functions of several variables. Primarily for students in prebusiness and some social sciences. Students preparing for advanced study in mathematics, physics, engineering and other sciences (including most biological sciences) should takeMATH 221.
