Pre-Algebra course, acceptable math entrance examination score, and math department selection to honors. The student will be knowledgeable in linear equations and inequalities, factoring, absolute values, functions, systems of linear equations and algebraic fractions. Also, basic word problems solving skills. A basic course in geometry. Topics studied include relationships between geometric figures, the Pythagorean Theorem, areas of planar and solid figures, volumes and similarity of figures.
Computer based instruction is used.
Basic math and algebra skills, including as a minimum, linear and quadratic equations, polynomials, factoring, radicals and exponents. The student will be knowledgeable in geometric figures, parallelism, congruence, polygons, quadrilaterals, similarity, right triangle analysis, coordinate geometry, circles, areas, volumes and perimeters. It is a vigorous course, but not as detailed as MA 075. The course is a study of basic structures of geometry and is designed to improve logical thought processes by providing basic theorems via deductive reasoning. In addition to MA 073 topics the course includes both plane and solid concepts as an integrated subject.
