Prerequisite: MATH 1113 or equivalent or both one year of
high school algebra and appropriate assessment score. Topics
in algebra and trigonometry are developed and applied to basic
problems in technology. Topics include expressions (polynomial,
fractional, radical, and exponential), equations (linear, quadratic,
and fractional), word problems, linear inequalities, systems of
equations, functions, graphs, and right-triangle trigonometry.
AAS: Mathematics elective.
MATH 1213 - Applied Arithmetic 3/0 (3)
Prerequisite: MATH 0983 with a grade of C or better or appropriate
assessment score. The emphasis in this course is on developing
skills for working with whole numbers, prime numbers and
factoring, fractions, decimals, percents and applications, ratios
and proportions, measurements, geometry, and an introduction

MATH 1414 - Basic Algebra 4/0 (4)
Prerequisite: MATH 0993 with a grade of C or better or MATH
1213 with a grade of C or better or appropriate assessment score.
The set of whole numbers and its properties are described with
the notation of algebra. The number concept is expanded to
include the integers, rational numbers, and real numbers. Topics
include sets, expressions, equations (linear, quadratic, and
fractional), word problems, absolute value, integer exponents,
polynomials, special products, factoring, complex fractions, and
square root radicals. Skills for success in more advanced courses
are emphasized; consequently, the student must have a strong
working knowledge of arithmetic before entering this course.
AAS: Mathematics elective.

Prerequisite: MATH 1414 with a grade of C or better or both one
year of high school algebra and appropriate assessment score. Sets,
real numbers, expressions (polynomial, fractional, exponential,
and radical), equations (linear, absolute value, fractional, quadratic,
and radical), factoring, and word problems are studied
in detail. Inequalities (linear and absolute value), systems of
equations, complex numbers, rational exponents, functions, and
graphs are introduced. AAS: Mathematics elective.
MATH 1453 - Geometry 3/0 (3)
Prerequisite: MATH 1414 or one year of high school algebra
with a grade of C or better and appropriate assessment score.
The student will use inductive, deductive, and indirect proofs in
the study of plane and solid geometry, properties of congruence,
similarity, ratio and proportion, area, perimeter, and volume of
basic figures. AAS: Mathematics elective.
