This course is designed for students who have graduated from high school with no more than the minimum mathematics requirements or for students who have been away from mathematics for a number of years. Mathematics 1311 will not constitute a part of the hours required for a baccalaureate degree. A course covering linear and quadratic equations, inequalities, word problems, functions, logarithms, systems of equations and other college algebra topics as time permits. A Survey of Contemporary Mathematics. A study of the uses of mathematics in society today.
Emphasis is on concepts rather than technical details.
May not be used as a prerequisite for any other mathematics course. A course covering trigonometric functions, right triangles, radian measure, graphs of trigonometric functions, trigonometric identities, including multiple and half-angle identities, inverse trigonometric functions, trigonometric equations, oblique triangles, and complex numbers. A grade of at least C in Mathematics 1315. A grade of at least C in either Mathematics 1315 or 1319. Logical deductive reasoning, number theory, a rational development of the real numbers with the associated number structures and algorithms for the fundamental operations, including historical, philosophical and cultural significance.
