Mathematical Concepts I

Course Description

The goal of this course is to give students a firm foundation in the topics of intermediate algebra as a basis for subsequent courses in mathematics and other disciplines. Included in this goal is the development and strengthening of one's skill in interpreting and solving application problems. Intermediate Algebra begins with a presentation of topics of Algebra including use of variables, exponents, order of operations. Further topics include solving linear equations and inequalities, understanding and graphing linear equations in two variables, finding the equation of a line, applying the laws of exponents, performing operations with polynomials, factoring polynomials, and solving polynomial equations. The skill of solving equations will be extended to formulating and solving equations of applied problems. Students will be offered the opportunity to use MyMath Test with instructor support as they work through the course material and will be offered the opportunity to re-take the Math Placement Test upon completion of the course. Note: The fee for this course may be found in the Detailed Class Information, which can be reached from the class schedule listing.
