Description
This course is designed for students with a minimal background in algebra who wish to complete a MATH 113 College Algebra requirement. In addition to the normal material from MATH 113, this class will give a review of algebra concepts that may not have been learned well enough to succeed in a 3 credit hour College Algebra course. Midway through the semester (typically after the twenty-first day of class) the course will be split into a 3 credit MATH 113 section and a 2 credit MATH 111 section and identical gradebooks will be maintained. Topics covered are: polynomials rational expressions and radicals, equations and inequalities, absolute value, functions and graphs, rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, conic sections, matrices and systems of equations and inequalities. Students will be expected to have access to and use a graphing calculator (a TI-83/84 is recommended.) PREREQUISITE: For specific placement requirements for this class, please refer to the Mandator
