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 />
