MATH 0983 - Preparation for College Math I (3)
Prerequisite: Appropriate assessment score. The student will study
arithmetic concepts, including the four operations of arithmetic,
fractions, decimals, percentages, and applications. This course is
designed to prepare students for college-level coursework. See Page
118 under “Course numbering system.”
MATH 0993 - Preparation for College Math II (3)
Prerequisite: A grade of C or better in MATH 0983 or appropriate
assessment score. The student will study basic statistics,
measurements, metrics, plane geometry, integers and rational
numbers. Includes an introduction to algebra. Computation
and applications will be stressed. This course is designed to prepare
students for college-level coursework. See Page 118 under “Course
numbering system.”
MATH 1113 - Technical Mathematics I 3/0 (3)
Prerequisite: MATH 0993 with a grade of C or better or MATH
1213 with a grade of C or better or appropriate assessment score.
This course concentrates on real number operations, measurements,
plane and solid geometry, algebraic operations (including
factoring, fractions, and exponents), linear functions, and inequalities
(including their graphs). AAS: Mathematics elective.
MATH 1123 - Technical Mathematics II 3/0 (3)
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
to algebra. AAS: Mathematics elective.
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.
MATH 1424 - Intermediate Algebra 4/0 (4)
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.
MATH 1613 - Mathematics for Elementary Teachers I 3/0 (3)
Prerequisites: MATH 1424 and MATH 1453 with grades of C or
better or all of the following: two years of high school algebra and
one year of high school geometry with grades of C or better and
appropriate assessment score. Models for operations with whole
numbers are developed and relationships between the operations
are studied. Numeration systems and additional properties
of whole numbers are explored, leading to the development of
fractions and integers. In addition, calculators, elementary logic,
and Polya’s four-step process are used in problem solving. This
course cannot be used to satisfy the math requirement for an
associate degree.
MATH 1623 - Mathematics for Elementary
Teachers II 3/0 (3)
Prerequisite: MATH 1613; and appropriate assessment score or
completion of ENGL 1413 with a grade of C or better; or consent
of instructor. Introductory topics in statistics, probability, geometry
(including shapes, congruence, relationships, constructions,
and the Pythagorean theorem), and measurement are studied.
This course may be used to satisfy one of the two mathematics
requirements for an associate in science degree in Elementary
Education. IAI: M1 903 Mathematics.
MATH 1704 - Contemporary Mathematics 4/0 (4)
Prerequisites: MATH 1424 and MATH 1453 with grades of C
or better or all of the following: two years of high school algebra
and one year of high school geometry with grades of C or better
and appropriate assessment score; and completion of ENGL
1413 with a grade of C or better or appropriate assessment score.
This is a general education mathematics course that focuses on
mathematical reasoning and solving real-life problems. Topics
include counting techniques and probability, logic and set theory,
the mathematics of finance, and statistics. Some of the topics
