Our course offerings are sequentially available to students who desire a range of study from basic math to advanced calculus and statistics. To help students select an appropriate course, a Self-Assessment Questionnaire is available. An advisor can assist with your selection. The course teaches students how simple quantitative problems arising in everyday life can be translated into mathematical forms and then solved. Basic mathematical routines and elementary problem-solving are stressed equally.
Special attention is given to word problems.
Occasional diagnostic tests are given so that students can evaluate their progress. This course offers an overview of various aspects of mathematics at the college level and also serves as a springboard for more advanced coursework like pre-calculus or statistics. Topics include set theory, probability and statistics, symbolic logic, linear equations and graphing, and a review of algebra. This course introduces the student who is already familiar with the basics of algebra to those areas of mathematics needed to understand calculus. Emphasis is on functions and relations, systems of equations and inequalities, exponential and logarithmic functions, the binomial theorem, and trigonometry.
