Course Offerings : Mathematics

All math courses: placement at ESL 101 or higher

NOTE ON COURSE SEQUENCING: Students who place into developmental
math courses (Math 50/50I/90/90I) must complete the appropriate sequence of
courses before enrolling into a college level math course, e.g., Math 105. Also,
students must meet the respective course prerequisites before continuing on
into the next course in the math sequence.

Mathematics 050 – Elementary Algebra (3) Acourse in basic algebra including a
study in equation solving, exponents, scientific notation, polynomials, factoring,
linear inequalities, word problems, literal equations, rational expressions,
complex fractions, radicals, fractional equations, and quadratic equations.

Mathematics 50I – Elementary Algebra: Intensive (2) Prerequisite: a sufficient
score on the math placement exam, or a grade of D or better in an Elementary
Algebra course at the college level. This course rapidly reviews topics found in
Elementary Algebra, including equation solving, exponents, polynomials,
factoring, linear inequalities, word problems, literal equations, rational
expressions, fractional equations, radicals, and quadratic equations.

Mathematics 090 – Intermediate Algebra (3) Prerequisite: Mathematics 50 or 50I with a grade of C or better, or math placement equivalent. This course covers
graphing linear equations, rational and irrational expressions, fractional
exponents, quadratic equations, completing the square, radicals, functions,
complex numbers, absolute value equations and inequalities, parabolas, and
systems of linear equations.

Math 90I – Intermediate Algebra: Intensive (2) Prerequisite: A grade of B+ or
better in Math 50 or 50I. This course rapidly reviews topics found in Intermediate
Algebra, including graphing linear and quadratic equations, rational exponents,
radicals, factoring, functions, complex numbers, absolute value problems, and
systems of linear equations. This course does not fulfill the General Education
Quantitative Reasoning Requirement.

Mathematics 105 – College Algebra (3) Prerequisite: Mathematics 90 or 90I with a grade of C or better, or math placement equivalent. Study of algebra including functions and transformations, systems of equations, matrices and determinants, theory of polynomial equations, complex numbers, study of functions
(polynomial, rational and irrational), and their graphs, sequences and series.
