This is a traditional prerequisite course to the calculus sequence. This is a fast-paced review course in college algebra and college trigonometry intended for those planning to take calculus. Topics include algebraic manipulations, properties of algebraic and trigonometric functions and their graphs, trig identities and equations, conic sections, polar coordinates and parametric equations. 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. Includes derivatives, integrals, and their applications, with attention restricted to algebraic, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Includes data presentation and summarization, introduction to probability concepts and distributions, statistical inference-estimation, hypothesis testing, comparison of populations, correlation and regression. Introduces single variable calculus and analytic geometry.
