Mathematics Course Descriptions

MATH 0013 Pre-Intermediate Algebra - A course to teach the basic ideas in theory and application of several areas of mathematics. The student will be prepared to complete Intermediate Algebra. Course covers real numbers, simple algebraic expressions, linear equations in one variable and consumer multiplication. This course does not count as a degree requirement.

MATH 0123 Intermediate Algebra - A course designed to meet the curriculum deficiency for beginning freshmen or transfer students. The course includes elementary algebra to give the student an adequate mathematical background. This course does not count as degree a requirement.

MATH 1313 Statistics - Designed to introduce the non mathematics student to the techniques of experimental statistics, to furnish the background necessary to conduct research, and to read and evaluate associated literature. Will not satisfy general education requirements.

MATH 1403 Contemporary Mathematics - Offers an overview of traditional algebraic topics using an applied format. An alternative to College Algebra, Contemporary Mathematics will satisfy the general education mathematics requirement. Students planning to take courses that have MATH 1513 College Algebra as a prerequisite SHOULD NOT TAKE CONTEMPORARY MATHEMATICS since it WILL NOT SATISFY ANY COLLEGE ALGEBRA PREREQUISITES.

MATH 1513 College Algebra - Designed to provide techniques and concepts necessary to study applications in various fields. Course fulfills general education requirement. Pre: Curricular requirements from high school.
