This course is designed to prepare the student for MATH&146, MATH&107, MATH&131, MATH&132, and PHIL&120 as well as science course work. Topics include the study of intermediate algebraic operations and concepts, and the structure and use of algebra. This includes solving, graphing, and applications of linear equations; working with quadratic functions, introduction to functions and models; and exponential and logarithmic functions along with applications. Students cannot earn credit for both MAP 119 and MATH 098 because they are equivalent courses. Students planning to take MATH&141 should enroll in MATH099 rather than this course. Prerequisite: Completion of MATH 094/MAP 117 or a higher placement . (Formerly: MPC 095, 096).
Upon successful completion of the course, students should be able to demonstrate the following knowledge or skills:
- Use properties of algebra to simplify algebraic expressions
- Solve and graph linear equations
- Solve and graph quadratic equations
- Solve and graph exponential and logarithmic equations
- Evaluate an expression given in function notation.
IO2 Quantitative Reasoning: Students will be able to reason mathematically.
- Properties of Algebra
- Linear Equations
- Quadratic Equations
- Exponential and Logarithmic Equations
- Functions
Course will be Pass/Fail. Passing Grade must be equivalent to a 2.0 grade in the course.
Classes taught as a lecture format will use the following grade weights: To earn a P the student must have a weighted average (75% Test, 25% other course work such as quizzes, homework, etc) above 75% and pass both modules of the final exam. Passing a module of the final is defined as a score of 65% or higher.
Classes taught as an emporium format will use the following grade weights: Each unit will be weighted 75% tests, 20% homework, and 5% workbook. Students will earn a passing grade based on units passed and attendance policy as agreed upon by the department.
