4.00 Credits
(formerly MATH-H091) 4 cr. Prerequisite: Placement in this course is determined by a college placement exam. Material is chosen to provide the student with current mathematical concepts and topics needed to continue work in algebra, the mathematics of business, science and basic technology. Topics covered include computation with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, ratios, proportions, percents, and measures. Geometry topics are integrated throughout. Signed number computation, algebraic expressions, and equation solving appear regularly, thus familiarizing the student with algebraic concepts. Emphasis is on understanding of mathematical concepts and problem solving techniques. Instruction in calculator use is emphasized along with related applications. This will not fulfill a mathematics requirement in any degree program.

3.00 Credits
(formerly MATH-H096) 3 cr. Prerequisite: Grade of "C" or better in MAT*H073 or MAT*H075(Prealgebra) or an appropriate score on a college placement exam. The course begins with a brief review of basic computational skills and operations with signed numbers. Algebraic order of operations and evaluation and simplification of algebraic expressions are followed by techniques for solving first degree equations and inequalities in one unknown. Also included in this course are algebraic methods for solving applications involving one and two unknowns. Basic rules of exponents are presented and scientific notation is discussed. This is followed by the basic polynomial operations and graphing linear equations in two unknowns, finding slopes of lines, x- and y- intercepts, and writing the equations of lines. This will not fulfill a mathematics requirement in any degree program.

3.00 Credits
(formerly MATH-H109) 3 cr. Prerequisite: Grade of "C" or better in MAT*H095 (Elementary Algebra) oran appropriate score on a college placement exam. Enrollment in MAT*H121 is restricted to students in Automotive Technician, Office Administrative Careers, Early Childhood Education, Hospitality Management, Landscaping and Horticulture programs. Topics covered include arithmetic and algrebraic operations, statistics, graphs, and tables. This course emphasizes specific mathematical applications for each discipline.
-
3.00 Credits
(formerly MATH-H106) 3 cr. Prerequisite: Grade of "C" or better in MAT*H095 (Elementary Algebra) oran appropriate score on a college placement exam. The number systems (Whole Number, Integer, Rational, Real) are developed with their properties with respect to the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Additional topics include theory of sets, symbolic logic, various number bases, and number theory.

3.00 Credits
(formerly MATH-H102) 3 cr. Prerequisite: Grade of "C" or better in MAT*H095 (Elementary Algebra) oran appropriate score on a college placement exam. The main themes of Intermediate Algebra are functions, represented by tables, graphs, and rules, and problem solving. The study of polynomial functions is extended via applications involving linear functions, linear systems, and quadratic functions. Students also study exponential functions, rational functions, radical functions, and absolute value functions. A graphing calculator is strongly recommended. This may be used as a general elective; this will not fulfill a mathematics requirement in any degree program. MAT*H143 Math for Elementary Ed: Algebra, Number Systems Mathematics for Elementary Education I (formerly MATH-H143) 3 cr. Prerequisite: Grade of "C" or better in MAT*H137 or an appropriate scoreon a college placement exam. This course is designed for students planning to become certified in early childhood, elementary or middle school level education. Problem solving strategies will be developed and integrated throughout, in accordance with the NCTM Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. Topics include conceptual and relational understanding of the real numbers, including the subsets of whole numbers, integers, rational and irrational numbers, with an emphasis on place value and the associated operations. Topics from numeration systems, number theory, and set theory will be developed as needed, with regular use of manipulatives and technology.
