This is the first course in a mathematics sequence designed to enhance students problem-solving abilities while providing the mathematical foundation for the study of electronics. The course reviews fundamental principles of algebra and explores polynomials, functions and their graphs, linear and quadratic equations, and trigonometry. More advanced topics such as exponential and logarithmic equations and solving systems of equations are also covered. This course introduces concepts required to study calculus, including vectors, complex numbers, trigonometric functions and graphs, and trigonometric equations. Analytic geometry and statistics are also addressed.
Students use calculators and computers as problem-solving tools.
This course provides a working knowledge of mathematical tools used to support decision making. Topics build on those of MATH-148 to develop skills needed in future courses in statistics, finance and accounting. Coverage includes logic, sets, combinatorics, sequences, series, recursive functions and mathematicalprogramming. In this course students gain knowledge of mathematical concepts and tools for decision making. Building on MATH-148, the course emphasizes practical applications of theoretical concepts.
