3.00 Credits
Useful as a foundation for math and math related courses, for developing quantitative job skills, or as a refresher. Students use a variety of materials and problem-solving techniques to deepen their understanding of basic arithmetic operations, fractions, decimals, percents, and measurement.They analyze problems and arrive at solutions using the techniques of mathematical reasoning.The course emphasizes mathematical discovery and addresses issues of math anxiety, test-taking difficulties, and study skills for math. This course may not be used to fulfill associate degree credit requirements; final grade of "D" will not beawarded in this course. Prereq: None

3.00 Credits
A preparatory course for Introductory Algebra (MAT 105) for students with a working knowledge of arithmetic who have never had algebra before or who would benefit from a slower introduction to algebra. Students study many of the topics covered in Introductory Algebra but at a significantly more elementary level and at a slower pace. These topics include the concept of a variable, negative numbers, numeric and algebraic expressions, linear equations in one variable, positive exponents and square roots, and an introduction to graphing of equations in two variables. Students work with applications to help them understand and connect algebraic concepts to real world situations. NOTE: This course may not be used to fulfill associate degree credit requirements. Final grade of "D" will not be awarded in this course. (Offered: Every Fall, Every Spring) Prereq: MAT 090 or a score of 67 or higher on the Arithmetic placement test; COL 090 or satisfactory placement test score or concurrent enrollment. Recomm: If you've never been successful in or it has been decades since you studied introductory algebra or if you received a C or C- in MAT 090, then consider taking MAT 094 before taking MAT 105.

3.00 Credits
An introductory algebra course which assumes a working knowledge of basic arithmetic. Students study topics that include the concept of a variable, negative numbers, properties of real numbers, numeric and algebraic expressions, polynomials, linear equations and inequalities in one variable, integer exponents and coordinate geometry.The course introduces graphing of two variable equations. Students work with applications to help them understand and connect algebraic concepts to real world situations.The course grants elective credits, which may transfer to another institution, but only as elective credit.The course does not satisfy requirements for college level mathematics at any institution.A final grade of "D" will not be awarded inthis course. Prereq: MAT 090 or satisfactory placement test score; COL 090 or satisfactory placement test score or concurrent enrollment. Recomm: If you took MAT 090 and earned a grade of C- or C, consider taking MAT 094 before taking MAT 105.

Develops algebra skills and a conceptual understanding of topics, and focuses on the relationship between algebraic, graphical and numerical approaches to solving problems. Students study topics that include linear equations and systems of equations, methods for solving problems, radicals and radical equations, quadratic equations and the quadratic formula, rational exponents and rational expressions.The course places emphasis on graphing in the Cartesian coordinate system with particular stress on graphing linear equations and systems of equations. Students work at times with calculators and/or computers.The course grants elective credits, which may transfer to another institution, but only at elective credit.The course does not satisfy requirements for college level mathematics at any institution.A final grade of "D" will not be awarded inthis course. Prereq: MAT 105 (095) or satisfactory placement test score; COL 090 or satisfactory placement test score; ENG 090 or satisfactory placement test score, or concurrent enrollment.

4.00 Credits
The study of functions.This course is a gateway to the study of higher level mathematics and a useful preparation for courses with quantitative content. Students investigate the principles, properties, and applications of several common types of functions from numerical, algebraic, and graphical perspectives and use these functions to model real world problems. Principle types include polynomial, rational, composite and inverse functions.The course also introduces exponential and logarithmic functions and briefly examines absolute value, root, step, and piecewise functions. Students use graphing calculators extensively. Prereq: MAT 106 (096) or satisfactory placement test scores; COL 090 and ENG 090, or satisfactory placement test scores.

4.00 Credits
A preparation for MAT 201 and the physical sciences. Students study principles, properties, and applications of functions and their graphs. They revisit functions introduced in MAT 107 and expand their knowledge of them. The course focuses heavily on circular trigonometric functions and introduces conic sections. Laboratory activities place particular emphasis on the use of functions to model real problems. Computers and/or graphing calculators are used to enhance the study of mathematics. (Offered: Every Spring & Summer) Prereq: A grade of C- or better in MAT 107 or a score of 71 or higher on the College Level Math placement test; COL 090 and ENG 090, or satisfactory placement test scores.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to statistics that teaches broadly relevant concepts.Topics include but are not limited to graphical and numerical methods for summarizing data; linear regression and correlation; normal probability distributions; confidence intervals; statistical inference and hypothesis testing. Laboratory activities emphasize the analysis of real world data. Computers and/or graphing calculators are used to enhance the study of mathematics. Prereq: Placement beyond or satisfactory completion of COL 090 and ENG 090; MAT 106 (096) or placement by examination
-
4.00 Credits
Provides prospective early childhood and elementary teachers with a mathematical foundation designed to support their future work teaching mathematics. Students build on their mathematical understanding, enhance their comprehension of the mathematical/problem-solving process, develop their confidence in exploring mathematical concepts, and communicate that understanding to others. Students do college level mathematics in the context of the following topics with particular emphasis on the first two: Number Sense and Operations; Geometry and Measurement; Patterns, Relations and Algebra; and Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability. Students become conversant with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Principles and Standards for School Mathematics and with the Massachusetts Department of Education Mathematics Curriculum Frameworks, especially as those documents pertain to the level at which the student intends to teach. (Offered: Every Fall, Every Spring) Prereq: MAT 105 (095) or a score of 67 or higher on the Arithmetic placement test and a score of 72 or higher on the Algebra placement test; must be an Early Childhood Education or Liberal Arts/Education Option major or have permission from a full-time math or education faculty person; COL 090 and ENG 090, or satisfactory placement test scores.

3.00 Credits
Designed to provide students in the liberal arts with a foundation to mathematical reasoning and quantitative skills in decision making processes. Students focus on ideas rather than techniques as they implement problem solving strategies.The course introduces students to topics that might include, but are not limited to mathematical modeling, graph theory, the mathematics of social choice, growth and symmetry, descriptive statistics, and probability. Prereq: MAT 105 (095) or satisfactory placement test scores; C0L 090 and ENG 090, or satisfactory placement test scores.
