MATHEMATICS
Recommended preparation for all math courses: The mathematics
department strongly urges all students to take the appropriate
mathematics assessment test to help determine the strength and
currency of background knowledge.
MATH V01 - ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA - 5 Units
Prerequisite: MATH V10 or MATH V10A-V10C or 1 year of high
school prealgebra with grade of C or better
Hours: 5 lecture weekly
This course covers number sets, operations with signed numbers,
linear equations, graphing, ratio, proportion and variation, linear
inequalities, introduction to functions, factoring, rational expressions
and equations, exponents, factorable quadratic equations, and
systems of equations. Students receiving credit in MATH V01 will not
receive credit in MATH V01A-V01E or MATH V11A-V11B.

MATH V01A - ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA: MODULE I - 1 Unit
Prerequisite: MATH V10 or MATH V10A-V01C or 1 year of high
school prealgebra with grade of C or better
Hours: 1 lecture weekly
This course is the first of five-course sequence (MATH V01A-
V01E). Completion of all five courses is equivalent to MATH V01.
Topics will include operations with real numbers, symbols and
terminology, mathematical sets, addition and subtraction of real
numbers, multiplication and division of real numbers, properties
of addition and multiplication, simplifying algebraic expressions,
positive and negative exponents and scientific notation. Under
the guidance of the instructor, students will complete self-paced
interactive competency-based computer assignments, including
possible review of previously learned topics. More than one course in
the sequence may be completed within the term. Students receiving
credit in MATH V01A-V01E will not receive credit in MATH V01 or
MATH V11A-V11B.

V01A-V01E). Completion of all five courses is equivalent to MATH
V01. Topics will include solving equations of one variable, translation
of word problems to equations, solving and graphing inequalities
of one variable, interval and set notation, solving formulas, ratio,
proportion and variation. Under the guidance of the instructor,
students will complete self-paced interactive competency-based
computer assignments, including possible review of previously
