Not open to students who have credit for any higher-numbered mathematics course. Emphasis on problem-solving techniques. Equations, inequalities, functions, graphs, geometry and mathematical systems are covered. Logic, probability and statistics are introduced. Designed for students going on to MATH 147.
Students become proficient in problem solving.
Grading will be based on quizzes, examinations and projects. Develops skills in elementary algebraic manipulations necessary for study of calculus. Students introduced to trigonometry, logarithms and analytic geometry. Students do problems and more problems, become sufficiently skillful in algebraic and trigonometric manipulations to be able to devote their time in calculus courses to thinking about calculus itself, rather than algebra and trigonometry involved in calculus. Emphasizes the real-world significance of mathematics and applications of several areas of mathematics.
