MATH-> MATHEMATICS 4: College Algebra for STEM Majors with Concurrent Support for College Algebra for STEM Majors
MATH 4: This course is intended for students majoring in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM). MATH 4 in combination with MATH 3 (Trigonometry with applications) serves as a prerequisite for MATH 7 (Calculus 1). The topics to be covered include review of the fundamentals of algebra, relations, functions, solutions of first and second degree equations and inequalities, systems of equations, matrices, binomial theorem, mathematical induction, polynomial and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, analytic geometry and conic sections, and geometric and arithmetic sequences and series. The co-requisite MATH 4C: A review of the core prerequisite skills, competencies, and concepts needed in College Algebra. Intended for students who are concurrently enrolled in MATH 4, College Algebra for STEM Majors. Topics include concepts from elementary and intermediate algebra and analytic geometry that are needed to understand the basics of college-level algebra. Emphasis is placed on real and complex numbers; fundamental operations on algebraic expressions and functions; factoring and simplifying algebraic expressions; introduction to functions, solving equations and systems of linear equations; graphs of elementary functions and their properties. Pass/No Pass only.
