TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS FUNDAMENTALS I

Catalog description

four contact hours per wee k. In this course, concepts and mathe matics skills are developed for differential and integral calculus. The student will be exposed to diverse activities in order to improve their quantitative reasoning and their ability to use the mathematical language and symbolism. They will study the real number set, polynomials, rational expressions of polynomials, linear equations, and quadratic equations, systems of linear equations, basic function theory, exponential functions, and logarithmic functions. Emphasis on the use of technology (graphic calculator, computers, for example) and/or mathematical programs to make computations, evaluate functions, approximate solutions for equations and analyze mathematical concepts from the graphical point of view.
