3.00 Credits
This course contains topics chosen from linear functions, matrices, linear programming, sets, probability theory, game theory and Markov chains. Mathematical models will be used to solve problems in business and the social and behavioral sciences. Computer software will be used in class to gain a greater understanding of underlying concepts through graphs and specialized programs. (Prerequisite: MATH 021 or MATH 025, or satisfactory completion of the College's basic skills requirement in algebra)
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an intermediate algebra course in which examples are drawn from real life and skills are learned in the context of these applications. Topics include functions and their properties and associated algebraic skills and modeling using linear, exponential, logarithmic, quadratic, rational and radical functions. Problems are approached from a variety of perspectives, including graphical, numerical, verbal and algebraic. A graphing calculator is required – the specific model is determined by the department. The course may be used as a prerequisite for MATH 146 and MATH 156 but NOT MATH 152 or MATH 153. (Prerequisites: MATH 021 or MATH 022 or MATH 025 or satisfactory completion of the College’s basic skills requirement in algebra)
-
4.00 Credits
This is a survey course with topics chosen from the mathematics of voting, fair division, apportionment, Euler circuits, the Traveling Salesman Problem, networks, scheduling, symmetry, and fractal geometry. NOTE: MATH 146 is offered in the Spring and Summer II terms only. (Prerequisite: A grade of "C" or higher inMATH 145 or MATH 151)
-
4.00 Credits
This course prepares students for courses that require algebraic skills beyond those taught in Elementary Algebra. Topics include equations, inequalities, linear systems in two and three variables, complex numbers and applications of functions: linear, exponential, logarithmic, quadratic, polynomial, rational and radical. In addition, the course provides a basic introduction to right triangle trigonometry, vectors, and the Laws of Sines and Cosines. Problems are approached from a variety of perspectives, including graphical, numerical, verbal and algebraic. A graphing calculator is required - the specific model is determined by the department. (Prerequisite: MATH 022 or MATH 025 or satisfactory completion of the College's basic skills requirement in algebra)
-
4.00 Credits
This course, followed by MATH 153, prepares students for the study of calculus. Topics include functions and function notation, rate of change and linear functions, transformations of functions, a review of right triangle trigonometry, graphing trigonometric functions, applications leading to sinusoidal graphs, trigonometric functions through the unit circle, some basic identities, solving equations, identities as tools for rewriting trigonometric expressions, the double and half-angle identities, quadratic functions, power functions, and polynomial functions. Problems are approached from a variety of perspectives, including graphical, numerical, verbal, and algebraic. A graphing calculator is required - the specific model is determined by the department. (Prerequisites: A grade of "C"or higher in MATH 151 or equivalent)
-
4.00 Credits
This course, preceded by MATH 152, prepares students for the study of calculus. Problems are approached from a variety of perspectives, including graphical, numerical, verbal, and algebraic. The topics require students to exhibit critical thinking skills as they analyze a variety of problems, create functions from a problem situation, and solve optimization problems using those functions. Students use their calculators and their understanding of the behavior of functions to perform regression analysis on data sets, including linear, quadratic, exponential, logistic, and sinusoidal models. Types of functions studied include rational, inverse trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic. Parametric equations are introduced and used to define circles, ellipses, and hyberbolas. A graphing calculator is required; the specific model is determined by the department. (Prerequisite: A grade of "C" or higher inMATH 152 or equivalent)
-
3.00 Credits
This course prepares students for a college level business calculus course. Functions and their graphs are studied, including polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Topics also include systems of linear equations, matrix algebra, linear programming (graphical solution and simplex method) and the mathematics of finance. All topics include applications in the management, life and social sciences. Computer software will be used in class to gain a greater understanding of underlying concepts. (Prerequisite: A grade of "C" or higher in MATH 145 or MATH 151)
-
4.00 Credits
This is the first of three courses (followed by MATH 162 and MATH 263) intended specifically for students of the various technology programs offered at Brookdale Community College. Topics to be studied in MATH 161 include significant digits, linear and quadratic functions, laws of exponents and roots, linear systems in two and three variables, determinants, triangle trigonometry (including the Laws of Sines and Cosines), the trigonometric functions, vectors, and the complex number system. Problems are approached from a variety of perspectives, including graphical, numerical, verbal, and algebraic. A graphing calculator is required - the specific model is determined by the department. (Prerequisite: MATH 022 or MATH 025 or satisfactory completion of the College's basic skills requirements in algebra)
-
4.00 Credits
This is the second of three courses (after MATH 161 and before MATH 263) intended specifically for students of the various technology programs offered at Brookdale Community College. Topics to be studied in MATH 162 include a continued refinement of algebra skills, exponential, logarithmic, and inverse trigonometric functions, trigonometric identities, variation, conic sections, polar coordinates, and topics in statistics. Problems are approached from a variety of perspectives, including graphical, numerical, verbal and algebraic. A graphing calculator is required - the specific model is determined by the department. NOTE: MATH 162 is offered in the Fall term only. (Prerequisites: A grade of "C" or higher inMATH 161 or MATH 152)
-
4.00 Credits
This is a first semester scientific calculus course and the topics include limits, continuity, derivatives and their applications, and integrals, including the Fundamental Theorems. Algebraic, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions will be studied. Problems are approached from a variety of perspectives, including graphical, numerical, verbal, and algebraic. Computer software will be used extensively in class to gain a greater understanding of concepts as well as to consider non-routine problems.
