MATH 181 - Pre-Calculus

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

MATH

Description:

This course introduces the foundations of analysis necessary to precede the calculus sequence with emphasis on college algebra and trigonometry including the properties and graphs of linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric functions and inverse trigonometric functions. It will also include solving equations, trigonometric identities and complex numbers. Prerequisite: College Preparatory Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry. Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental concept of a mathematical function and all of its properties (domain, range, composition, etc.). (2) Represent and define linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions numerically, symbolically, graphically, and verbally. (3) Solve linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric equations and problems using real-world applications. (4) Verify and apply trigonometric identities and formulas.
