This course replaces the course MATH 12500 (STEM) for students who intend to take calculus. It is designed to develop an understanding of topics and skills which are fundamental to the study of calculus and other science classes. The topics covered are: linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions and their graphs and applications; the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra; sequences, sums, and the Binomial Theorem. In addition to lecture, students are also required to attend a 50-minute recitation session once a week. This course is equivalent to Math 12500 for grade replacement purposes.
