Precalculus

Catalog description

The course content is identical to MTH 2009: it integrates material from pre-calculus with introductory topics from applied calculus, including a detailed study of functions, limits, and continuity, the circle, tangent lines, rates of change, and differentiation of algebraic functions. Applications from economics and finance will be included and the use of the TI 89/92 calculator will be required. MTH 2009T is a six-hour course that includes additional instructional time with the mathematics professor. Students may receive credit for MTH 2009T, MTH 2009, or MTH 2003. These courses may substitute for each other in the F-grade replacement policy. This course is not open to students who completed MTH 2000, 2001, 2010, 2030, 2205, 2206, 2207, 2610, or 2630 or any mathematics course at the 3000-level or above. NOTE: The policy on repeating courses covers any combination of MTH 2009, MTH 2009T, and MTH 2003, e.g., one course taken three times, or a one-and-two combination. All combinations will be treated identically as three attempts.
