COLLEGE ALGEBRA WITH SUPPORT

Catalog description

This course teaches prerequisite material and all College Algebra ( MATH 1320 ) content; it is intended for students who need additional mathematics support. This course will cover polynomial functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, and modeling of natural phenomena using these kinds of functions. Discussion of functions will center around four representations: algebraic, graphic, tabular, and verbal. Particular emphasis will be placed on development of covariational reasoning. Support sections will include arithmetic and algebra content necessary to engage with polynomial functions, exponential functions, and logarithmic functions at the College Algebra level, such as properties of real numbers, linear equations, graphing functions, factoring polynomials, and quadratic functions.
