MATH 053 B-STEM Elementary Algebra
This course is designed for students who need to learn the fundamentals of algebra. It is designed primarily for students who plan to major in Business, Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math (B-STEM). This course consists of topics including solutions and graphs of linear equations and inequalities, slopes of lines, systems of linear equations and applications, operations with polynomials including factoring and solving quadratic equations.
MATH 060 Geometry
This course is an introduction to the elements of geometry, including points, lines, planes, and angles. These elements are used in conjunction with triangles, polygonal and circular figures in both two and three dimensional configurations. Formulas for computing lengths, areas, and volumes are presented through the use of applications. This course is intended for students who have not had or completed two semesters of high school geometry or who need a refresher prior to taking trigonometry, technology courses, mathematics for elementary teachers or other courses with a geometry prerequisite.
MATH 062 Prestatisics
This course surveys a variety of mathematical topics needed to prepare students for college-level statistics. Topics include: data analysis using ratios, rates, and proportional reasoning, graphical and tabular displays of data, measures of central tendency and spread, computing probabilities, describing associations of two variables graphically, graphing equations of lines and linear models, and solving linear equations and inequalities. Pre-Statistics is designed for students in majors such as those in liberal arts, humanities, and social sciences. It should not be taken by students majoring in science, technology, engineering, math or business. This course does not provide credit for Intermediate Algebra.
MATH 073 B-STEM Intermediate Algebra
This course is designed for students who have completed an elementary algebra course and need to complete an additional course in algebra before proceeding to a college level transferable course. It is designed primarily for students who plan to major in Business, Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math (B-STEM). This course consists of topics including radical and rational expressions and equations, complex absolute value equations and inequalities, relations and functions, synthetic division, graphs of functions, exponential and logarithmic expressions and their applications, as well as complex numbers.
