Description
The second of a two-course series covering the basics of algebra (MATH 065/095). Topics include working with algebraic expressions (polynomial, algebraic fractions, radicals, exponential, logarithmic), solving equations and inequalities (polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, logarithmic), solving systems of linear equations, an introduction to functions, and graphing functions/relations (linear, quadratic, simple conics, exponential, logarithmic). Prerequisite: Appropriate placement score or grade of C- or higher in MATH 065; or permission of the Mathematics Department. |
