Includes a brief review of intermediate algebra, equations and inequalities, functions and their graphs, exponential and logarithmic functions, linear and non-linear systems, graphing of the conic sections, introduction to sequences and series, progressions, permutations and combinations, the binomial theorem, and theory of equations. This is a traditional prerequisite course to the calculus sequence. SEE NOTE 2. This course is primarily intended for business, life science, or social science majors. Topics include functions, matrix algebra, linear programming, and an introduction to probability and counting techniques.
Emphasis is on applications.
The course may include other topics, such as statistics, when time permits. For business, life science, and social science majors. Derivatives, integrals, and their applications are included with attention restricted to algebraic, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Topics in algebra, trigonometry, analytic geometry, and elementary functions designed for the students who intend to take the calculus sequence. Applies the concepts of percent, decimal, fractions, basic algebra, geometry and trigonometry to various industries.
