Also, a willingness to learn abstract expressions, accept responsibility for daily homework, and create a strong math applications foundation. The student will be knowledgeable in geometric figures, parallelism, congruence, polygons, quadrilaterals, similarity, right triangle analysis, coordinate geometry, circles, areas, volumes, perimeters, plane and solid figure comparisons and application of algebraic principles. Successful students will be more prepared for career pursuits in engineering, the sciences, mathematics, or other quantitatively oriented field. In addition to MA 074, the course will cover postulates, theorems, proofs, areas of polygonal and circular regions, and applications of geometric principles to everyday life. Algebraic principles are used extensively.
Computer based instruction is used.
Also, a willingness to learn abstract expressions, accept responsibility for daily homework, and create a strong math applications foundation is essential. Students must be inquisitive, self-motivated and desire a mastery of the subject material. The student will be knowledgeable in geometric figures, parallelism, congruence, polygons, quadrilaterals, similarity, right triangle analysis, coordinate geometry, circles, areas, volumes, perimeters, plane and solid figure comparisons, application of algebraic principles and geometric principles in everyday life. This core course emphasizes the structure and process of algebra beginning with a thorough review of Algebra I followed with a basic approach to Algebra II, covering sets, linear and quadratic functions, and practical applications through word problems. Computer based instruction is used.
