MAT182: Plane Trigonometry

A study of measures of angles, properties of functions thereof (trigonometric functions), and the application of such thought to areas such as engineering and physics. Emphasis is placed on student fluency in angular functions to build confidence in future courses on calculus and beyond.

MAT154: Applied College Algebra

This course is designed to prepare learners to integrate fundamental mathematical concepts with the critical and quantitative thinking needed to solve workplace-related problems. The course is founded upon a functional and technological approach to algebra. Topics include functions, algebraic and exponential equations, systems, matrices, probability, and statistics. Material is made more theoretical as compared with MAT141.

MAT120: Intermediate Algebra

A "from-the-ground-up" construction of algebraic thinking with emphasis on real-life applications (the dreaded word problem). Students get an introduction to mathematical thinking sufficient for future courses in algebra and trigonometry. Course topics include:

  • quadratic forms (graphing, root-finding, etc)

  • exponential and logarithm functions
