Topics include problem solving, linear equations, systems of equations, polynomials and factoring techniques, rational expressions, radicals and exponents, quadratic equations. Credit for enrollment (eligibility) but not toward graduation; satisfies no University or general education requirements.

Prepares students for courses that fulfill the General Education Math requirement. Concepts emphasized include the properties of the real number system, sets, functions, graphs, algebraic manipulations, linear and quadratic equations, systems of equations, and story problems. Students will be expected to reason mathematically and solve mathematical problems. Successful completion of the course gives students good preparation for college-level Math courses. Successful completers satisfy prerequisite for MATH 1030, MATH 1040, MATH 1050, MATH 1080, and Mathematics prerequisite for CHEM 1110, IT 3050, PHYS 1010, SOC 3112, and STAT 2040. Inclusive Access Course Material (electronic book) fees may apply, see Fees tab under each course section for details. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Perform basic mathematical operations on rational numbers with and without a calculator, including fractions, percentages, and decimals. 2. Solve algebraic, logarithmic and exponential equations in one and/or two unknowns. 3. Demonstrate the concept of equivalence including the use of variables to define relationships. 4. Use functions to analyze models of real-world problems including polynomial and quadratic equations. Course fee required. Prerequisites: MATH 0900 or MATH 0980 (Grade C or higher), OR ACT math score of 18 or higher or equivalent placement score, within two years of enrollment in this course. FA, SP, SU
