4.00 Credits
This 4-credit course is intended for those students who are almost ready to begin Algebra I, but their placement tests indicate that there are a few basic math skills that need to be reviewed. In one semester, rather than two, the student will be able to complete a fast-paced review of integers, decimals, fractions, and percents - topics from MAT 060 (MA 1101) - and then cover the topics that are included in MAT 070 (MA 1103). This course is also suitable for those students who have been out of school for a while and would like to brush up on their basic math skills before they begin MAT 070 (MA 1103). Prerequisite: Placement by exam or permission of instructor. Note: This course will serve as a prerequisite for any course that currently has a prerequisite of MAT 070 (MA 1103).

3.00 Credits
The first course of Elementary Algebra. Topics include operations with signed numbers, linear equations, linear inequalities, point plotting and graphs of straight lines: systems of linear equations. Credits in this course will not apply to MCC degree programs. Prerequisite: MAT 060 (MA 1101) or placement by exam. Recommendation: Grade of B or better in MAT 060 (MA 1101) is strongly recommended.

4.00 Credits
This one-semester, 4-credit course is a fast-paced review covering the topics included in both Algebra I, MAT 070 (MA 1103) and Algebra II, MAT 080 (MA 1104). It is designed for students who have demonstrated (through math placement testing or prior mathematics coursework) that they are capable of making faster progress through material usually covered in two semesters. This course is intended for students with prior exposure to the algebraic topics and the appropriate study skills and motivation to work independently. Prerequisite: Placement by exam or permission of Math Department. Note: Math Career Programs Only Elective Note: This course will fulfill the requirement of one course beyond Algebra I for non-transfer programs only. It will also serve as a prerequisite for any course that currently has a prerequisite of MAT 080 (MA 1104).

3.00 Credits
Emphasizes the understanding and interpretation of basic statistical results. Reading excerpts from journal articles is an intrinsic part of this course. The use of a calculator and/or a software package relieves the student from computations and formulas. Topics covered include descriptive statistics, binomial and normal distribution, the logic of hypothesis testing, estimation and simple correlation and regression. Prerequisite: MAT 070 (MA 1103) Note: Math Career Programs Only Elective
-
3.00 Credits
The second course of Elementary Algebra. Topics include: exponents and polynomials; radicals; factoring; quadratic equations; applications and formula problems. Does not meet the prerequisite for pre-calculus. Prerequisite: MAT 070 (MA 1103) or placement by exam. Recommendation: Grade of C or better in MAT 070 (MA 1103) is strongly recommended. Note: Math Career Programs Only Elective

3.00 Credits
Applied topics in mathematics, as seen in various real-world situations. Students will be taught the basics of spreadsheet use and then apply this knowledge to different mathematical concepts such as statistics, consumer topics and the metric system. Handson experience with computers will be stressed, as will skills of estimation and approximation. Prerequisite: MAT 070 (MA 1103) or placement above MAT 070 (MA 1103) General Education Electives: Math Career Programs only Intensive Value: Computer Literacy Note: Technology/Lab Fee - $100
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to selected mathematics concepts and skills useful in computer programming and information technology. Topics include: percents, ratios and proportions, functions, binary and hexadecimal number systems, matrices, Boolean algebra and coordinate systems. Prerequisite: MAT 070 (MA 1103) or placement above MAT 070 (MA 1103)
-
3.00 Credits
For students preparing for the precalculus-calculus sequence or for statistics. Topics include graphing and modeling with linear and quadratic functions; solving applications; interpreting data read from graphs; solving absolute value equations and inequalities; solving systems of equations in two and three variables algebraically and graphically; operations with rational expressions; fractional exponents; radicals; complex numbers; and solving of rational, radical and quadratic equations. Prerequisite: C or better in MAT080 (MA 1104) or MAT 075 (MA 1140) or placement by exam. General Education Electives: Math Career Programs Only Note: A TI - 83+ or 84+ graphing calculator is required.

3.00 Credits
Topics in preparation for Precalculus I/Science. Topics include a study of basic geometry, right triangle trigonometry and its applications, trigonometric functions of general angles in both radians and degrees, solving trigonometric equations, vectors, Law of Sines, Law of Cosines, and the graphing of basic trig functions. Word problems will be emphasized. Corequisite: MAT 100 (MA 1106) General Education Elective: Math Career Programs only Note: A TI - 83+ or 84+ graphing calculator is required.
-
3.00 Credits
This course satisfies the Middlesex Community College graduation requirement for the Liberal Arts and Sciences program. Mathematical modeling and problem solving strategies will apply to everyday life. Topics will be drawn from areas such as: collecting, describing and analyzing data; probability and decisionmaking; loans and investments; population growth; linear programming; and geometry of measurement. Prerequisite: MAT 080 (MA 1104) or equivalent or placement into MAT 100 ( MA 1106) General Education Electives: Math all programs Intensive Values: Written Communication Note: A TI - 83+ or 84+ graphing calculator is required.
