Topics studied include first-degree equalities and inequalities, polynomials, exponents, radicals, factoring, absolute values, and practical applications.
Computer based instruction is used.
Also, a willingness to learn abstract expressions, accept responsibility for daily homework, and create a strong math applications foundation. Pre-Algebra course, acceptable math entrance examination score, or math department approval. The student will be knowledgeable in linear equations and inequalities, factoring, absolute values, functions, systems of linear equations, algebraic fractions, and basic word problems solving skills. It is a vigorous course, but not as fast paced and detailed as MA 072. Students will cover the structure and application of real numbers, first-degree equalities and inequalities, polynomials, exponents, radicals, factoring, absolute values, algebraic fractions, relations, functions, quadratic equations and practical applications.
