Solve systems of non-linear equations 19. Describe vectors both geometrically and algebraically 20. Solve problems involving vectors 21. Graph and apply sequence functions 22. Students improve their listening skills by taking part in general class discussion and in small group activities.
Students improve their reading skills by reading and discussing the text and other materials.
Reading mathematics requires skills somewhat different from those used in reading materials for other courses, and these are discussed in class. Unit tests, examinations and other assignments provide opportunities for students to practice and improve mathematical writing skills. Mathematics has a specialized vocabulary that students are expected to use correctly. Students must apply mathematical concepts to non-template problems and situations. In applications, students must analyze problems, often through the use of multiple representations, develop or select an appropriate mathematical model, utilize the model, and interpret results.
