MTH 070 - Introductory Algebra

Institution:

Lane Community College

Subject:

Description:

5 credits Prerequisite: 1) Recent experience in algebra, such as an eleventh grade high school algebra course completed within the last three years; and 2) MTH 020 or equivalent course with a grade of "C-" or better or pass a placement test through the Testing Office. Prerequisite grades or test scores must have been completed within the past four terms. If you have taken a higher level math course than this and passed the course with a "C-" or better, you may not use this course for your degree/certificate requirements. MTH 070 is a fast paced review of algebra for students with recent algebra experience. For students without recent algebra experience, MTH 060 and MTH 065 provide a more relaxed and thorough introduction to the subject. (Students who are unsure whether to take MTH 070 or MTH 060 should seek the advice of a Counselor or Advisor.) MTH 070 prepares students for Intermediate Algebra, MTH 095. Topics include a selective review of arithmetic, tables and graphs, signed numbers, problem solving, linear equations, ratio and proportion, unit analysis, systems of linear equations, polynomials, factoring, quadratic equations, rational expressions, exponents, and radicals. A scientific calculator is required.
