Survey of Algebra and Trigonometry

Catalog description

A pre-calculus course; covers topics from the NYS Regents Course III: order, absolute value, inequalities, exponents, radicals, polynomials, rational expressions, solving systems of linear equations, quadratic equations and inequalities, functions (rational, logarithmic, exponential, trigonometric), graphing, trigonometric identities. Emphasizes applications to problems. This fast-paced course reviews Course III and prepares students for further courses in mathematics. Students with three years of high school math but with weak algebra skills should take MTH 112 before MTH 115. Students who have had only two years of high school mathematics may take MTH 115, or may prefer to take a two-semester sequence covering this material more thoroughly and at a more moderate pace: MTH 112 and ULC 148 .
