Mathematics

(Offered fall, spring, and summer). Developmental Arithmetic with Algebra (3.0 credit) is a course designed for students who need to strengthen their mathematical background. The course must be passed with a minimum grade of "C" and is not intended to satisfy general education requirements in mathematics or to count toward required hours for graduation. Calculators are allowed in the course. Topics included operations with integers, fractions, decimals, geometric figures and their measures, pre-algebra topics, including properties of rational numbers, operations of fractional numbers, simplification of polynomials, and equations-solving techniques.

(Offered fall and spring). Prerequisite: Math placement test only. Developmental Mathematics Module (1.0 credit) is a course designed for students who need to strengthen their mathematical background. The course must be passed with a minimum grade of "C" and is not intended to satisfy general education requirements in mathematics or to count toward required hours for graduation. Calculators are allowed in the course. Topics included are applying order of operations, constructing expressions, decimal operations, evaluating exponents, fraction operations, integer operation, number conversions, simplifying algebraic expressions, simplifying fractions, solving linear equations and whole number operations. Students enrolled in this class must only have a deficiency in only one or two of the topics listed.

(Offered fall and spring). Prerequisite: Math placement test only. Developmental Mathematics Module (2.0 credit) is a course designed for students who need to strengthen their mathematical background. The course must be passed with a minimum grade of "C" and is not intended to satisfy general education requirements in mathematics or to count toward required hours for graduation. Calculators are allowed in the course. Topics included are applying order of operations, constructing expressions, decimal operations, devaluating exponents, fraction operations, integer operation, number conversions, simplifying algebraic expressions, simplifying fractions, solving linear equations and whole number operations. Students enrolled in this class must only have a deficiency in three, four or five of the topics listed. If the student has more than five deficiencies, the student must take MAT0028.

(Offered fall, spring, and summer). Prerequisite: Math placement test or minimum grade of "C" in MAT0012 or MAT0055 or MAT0056. Intermediate Algebra receives college credit, but only elective credit, and cannot be used to satisfy the math requirements for the Associate in Arts degree. Topics included are factoring, algebraic fractions, radicals and rational exponents, complex numbers, quadratic equations, rational equations, linear equations and inequalities in two variables and their graphs, systems of linear equations and inequalities, introduction to functions, and applications of the above topics.
