MAT105 Introduction to Statistics credits: 3<br />
Introduces students to descriptive statistics, frequency distributions, graphic displays, and measures of central tendency and<br />
variation. The course also provides students with experience in sampling, confidence intervals, and preliminary inferential<br />
statistics test methods. (ADP) Prerequisite: MAT101<br />
MAT107 Intermediate Algebra credits: 3<br />
Students learn fundamental concepts and solve problems involving rational and radical expressions; inequalities; linear, quadratic<br />
and exponential functions; and systems of linear equations. Prerequisite: MAT101<br />
MAT110 Mathematics for Teachers credits: 3<br />
Course covers mathematical concepts and problem solving techniques needed by elementary school teachers. Topics include<br />
problem solving, sets, functions, numeration systems, number theory and number systems, applications, an introduction to<br />
probability and statistics, introductory geometry and measurement concepts. Prerequisite: MAT107<br />
MAT111 College Algebra credits: 3<br />
This course covers the real number system, exponents and radicals, polynomial equations, system of equations, introduction to<br />
matrices, inequalities, polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions and their graphs. Prerequisite: MAT107<br />
