Mathematics Bridge

Catalog description

This class serves to strengthen mathematical techniques through problem-solving and covers preliminary material needed for students to be successful in MATH 1101 and MATH 1111 . The focus of the class is on problem-solving to improve conceptual understanding and practical applications of mathematics as measured by performance assessments. This will be achieved by providing the student basic skills regarding fractions, radicals, rules of exponents, non-integer/non-positive exponents, and factoring. In addition, if time allows it, some of the following topics will be covered: linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and piecewise-defined functions, as well as inverse functions, the composition of functions, and systems of equations. Students in MATH 0997 will take the Accuplacer test as a final exam.
