MAT-120 Geometry and Trigonometry 3 (2-2) F
Prerequisites: MAT-060 and MAT-070, minimum grade C; or MAT-060 and
MAT-080, minimum grade C; or MAT-121, minimum grade
C; or MAT-171, minimum grade C
Corequisites: None
This course introduces the concepts of plane trigonometry and geometry with
emphasis on applications to problem solving. Topics include the basic definitions and
properties of plane and solid geometry, area and volume, right triangle trigonometry,
and oblique triangles. Upon completion, students should be able to solve applied
problems both independently and collaboratively using technology. Open to students
in the Landscape Gardening and Golf Course Management Programs. NOTE: This
course has been approved as a general education course in Mathematics for the
A.A.S. and A.G.E. degrees ONLY. (2005 SU)
MAT-121 Algebra/Trigonometry I 3 (2-2) FS
Prerequisites: MAT-060 and MAT-070, minimum grade C; or MAT-060 and
MAT-080, minimum grade C
Corequisites: None
This course provides an integrated approach to technology and the skills required to
manipulate, display, and interpret mathematical functions and formulas used in
problem solving. Topics include simplification, evaluation, and solving of algebraic
and radical functions; complex numbers; right triangle trigonometry; systems of
equations; and the use of technology. Upon completion, students should be able to
demonstrate an understanding of the use of mathematics and technology to solve
problems and analyze and communicate results. NOTE: This course has been
approved as a general education course in Mathematics for the A.A.S. and A.G.E.
degrees ONLY. (2005 SU)
MAT-122 Algebra/Trigonometry II 3 (2-2) S
Prerequisites: MAT-121 or MAT-171, minimum grade C
Corequisites: None
This course extends the concepts covered in MAT-121 to include additional topics in
algebra, function analysis, and trigonometry. Topics include exponential and
logarithmic functions, translation and scaling of functions, Sine Law, Cosine Law,
vectors, and statistics. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate an
understanding of the use of technology to solve problems and to analyze and
communicate results. NOTE: This course has been approved as a general education
course in Mathematics for the A.A.S. and A.G.E. degrees ONLY. (2005 SU)

C; or MAT-121, minimum grade C; or MAT-171, minimum
grade C
Corequisites: None
This course provides an introduction in a non-technical setting to selected topics in
mathematics. Topics may include, but are not limited to, sets, logic, probability,
statistics, matrices, mathematical systems, geometry, topology, mathematics of
finance, and modeling. Upon completion, students should be able to understand a
variety of mathematical applications, think logically, and be able to work
collaboratively and independently. This course has been approved for transfer under
the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement as a general education course in
