MASSAGE THERAPY<br />

(SEE SOMATIC THERAPY)<br />

MATHEMATICS<br />

The <strong>State</strong> Board of Regents, governing board of <strong>Roane</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>,<br />

has endorsed a provision aimed at strengthening mathematics in the System institutions.<br />

This provision states that the mathematics course taken to fulfill the requirement<br />

for graduation must carry high school prerequisites of two years of algebra and one<br />

year of geometry.<br />

DSPM 0700—PreAlgebra . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Credits<br />

This course stresses basic arithmetic and geometry skills, operations with integers, and solving<br />

basic linear equations. Satisfactory completion of this course or other evidence of competencies<br />

in these areas is a prerequisite for DSPM 0800-Elementary Algebra. This course does not<br />

fulfill the math requirement for graduation. F, Sp, Su<br />

DSPM 0800—Elementary Algebra . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Credits<br />

This course is designed to provide students basic algebraic skills on a pre-college level.<br />

Satisfactory completion of this course or other evidence of competencies in these areas is a prerequisite<br />

for DSPM 0850-Intermediate Algebra. This course does not fulfill the math requirement<br />

for graduation. F, Sp, Su<br />

DSPM 0850—Intermediate Algebra . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Credits<br />

This course is designed to provide students advanced algebraic skills on a pre-college level.<br />

Satisfactory completion of this course or other evidence of competencies in these areas is a prerequisite<br />

for appropriate college level mathematics courses. This course does not fulfill the<br />

math requirement for graduation. F, Sp, Su<br />

The Mathematics Department endorses the TI-86 calculator for ALL math courses.<br />

MATH 0990—Geometry . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Credits<br />

A study of the most used theorems of two- and three-dimensional Euclidean Geometry. Topics<br />

include symmetry, congruence, similarity, right triangle relationships, and geometrical modes<br />

of thinking in problem solving.<br />

NOTE:This course is required of all students majoring in a transfer program who have not had<br />

high school geometry or another advanced high school mathematics course with geometry as<br />

a major component and will not fulfill the requirement for graduation.<br />

MATH 1000—Computer Geometry Modeling . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Credits<br />

Numerical and computer representation of curves and surfaces, solid geometry modeling, and<br />

management aspects of geometry data. Cubic-tension B-Splines, Bezier curves/surfaces,<br />

graphbased and Boolean models and concepts of constructive application to CFD, CAD, robotics,<br />

animation, image processing, and computer graphics. (Prerequisite: Two years high<br />

school algebra and/or completion of DSPM 0850).<br />

MATH 1030—Mathematics for the Health Sciences . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Credits<br />

This course is designed to prepare the allied health student to function in academic and clinical<br />

settings with mathematics competence. Topics of study include fractions, fractional equations<br />

and formulas, ratios and proportions, apothecaries and metric measurements, dosage<br />

calculations, logarithms, and statistics. (Prerequisite: Two years of high school algebra and one<br />

year of high school geometry or appropriate developmental mathematics courses) This course<br />

does not meet math requirement for AS/AA degree, nor does it carry transfer credit. F, Sp<br />

MATH 1130—<strong>College</strong> Algebra . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Credits<br />

A course in algebraic functions, their properties and uses-equations, inequalities, graphs, systems<br />

of linear equations, analytical geometry including ellipse and hyperbola. Applications are<br />

in the mathematics of finance as well as the laws of growth and decay in other areas.<br />

(Prerequisites: Two years of high school algebra and one year of geometry or appropriate developmental<br />

mathematics courses) F, Sp, Su<br />
