ALGEBRA FOR CALCULUS (KMCR)

Catalog description

(Equivalent to MATH 10675 and MATH 10775 ) Course includes an extensive and rich immersion into the structure of functions. Routine analysis includes discussion of domain, range, zeros, general function behavior (increasing, decreasing, extrema, etc.). Operations with functions, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, composition and inversion. Functions are studied as a tool to analyze rates of change for real-world scenarios. The emphasis is on linear, polynomial, exponential and rational functions, with an extensive problem-solving component.
