This course is a functional approach to algebra that incorporates the use of appropriate technology. Emphasis will be placed on the study of functions, and their graphs, inequalities, and linear, quadratic, piece-wise defined, rational, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Appropriate applications will be included. This course is designed to prepare students for calculus, physics, and related technical subjects. Topics include an intensive study of algebraic and trigonometric functions accompanied by analytic geometry as well as DeMoivre's theorem, polar coordinates, and conic sections.
Appropriate technology is utilized in the instructional process.
This is a basic course in statistics at a level which does not require knowledge of calculus. Statistical techniques needed for research in many different fields are presented. This course emphasizes the structure of the real number system and includes topics from geometry. This course is an introduction to systems of linear equations and inequalities, matrices, linear programming, and differential and integral calculus, with emphasis on business applications. This course includes a study of functions, limits, derivatives, continuity, the Chain Rule, implicit differentiation, related rates, differentials, local extreme, graphing techniques, monotonicity, concavity, max-min applications, infinite limits, the Mean Value Theorem, antiderivatives, differential equations, sigma notation, the definite integral, and areas in the plan.
