Intermediate Algebra
Intermediate Algebra studies the construction and resulting properties of the real number system. Students are introduced to linear, quadratic, square root, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions. The basic definitions of functions, relations, one-to-one functions, and inverses are discussed along with the algebra and composition of functions.
College Algebra
This course covers skills needed for success in Calculus and many application areas at the baccalaureate level. Topics include the real and complex number systems, polynomials, exponents, radicals, solving equations and inequalities, relations and functions, systems of equations and inequalities, graphing, and conic sections.
Calculus and Analytic Geometry 1
This course covers differential and integral calculus, plane analytic geometry, applications and the properties and uses of elementary transcendental functions. The course provides an introduction to the basic properties of limits, rate of change of functions, continuity, derivatives of algebraic and elementary transcendental functions.
