During class you will use the calculator as a tool for investigating new ideas. Your instructor will provide demonstrations which will help you to visualize many of the mathematical ideas. The instructor for your section will be using the Texas Instruments model T1-83 graphing calculator and will provide assistance in learning the key strokes for this machine. If you already own a grahing calculator, it is not suggested that you purchase another machine. The course is coordinated during the fall and spring semesters .
Instructors work to create an interactive atmosphere where active learning can take place.
Students often work in groups during class time and sometimes work together on outside projects. College Algebra is also available as an internet course.
