MATHEMATICS

MATH 015 – Prealgebra
This course emphasizes prealgebra concepts and is designed to
equip students with skills necessary to be successful in Math 025,
Beginning Algebra. A review of arithmetic operations with whole
numbers, integers, and rational numbers integrating algebraic
concepts such as vocabulary, simplifying variable expressions,
solving linear equations, order of operations, exponents, radicals,
ratios and percentages. Prerequisite: Placement test score.
Telecommunication class.

MATH 025 – Beginning Algebra
This course is designed to develop basic algebra skills. It covers
positive and negative integers, exponents, fractions, first-degree
equations and inequalities in one variable, polynomials, evaluation
of algebraic expressions, factoring, rational expressions, radicals, an
introduction to graphing in a quadrant system, and operations on
sets. Students are not advised to go on to the next math course in the
sequence if course grade or outcomes assessment indicates a below-average
achievement. Prerequisite: MATH 009 or MATH 015 with ‘C’ grade or better,
or placement test score.
Telecommunication class.

MATH 108 B15V – Intermediate Algebra
This course is designed to prepare the student for college algebra.
It covers first-degree equations and inequalities, linear functions,
systems of linear equations, polynomials, factorization, rational
expressions, negative and rational exponents, radicals, quadratic
equations, graphing functions, logarithms, and application problems.
Prerequisite: MATH 010/025 with ‘C’ grade or better, or CSI
placement test score. Telecommunication class.

MATH 123 B01V – Math in Modern Society
This survey course provides an opportunity to acquire an
appreciation of the nature of mathematics and its relation to
other aspects of our culture. The course is rigorous but not rigid and
applies mathematics to real-world problems. Prerequisite: MATH
010/025 with a grade of ‘C’ or better, or CSI placement test score.
Telecommunication class.

MATH 143 B01V – College Algebra
This course includes fundamental concepts of algebra: equations and
inequalities; functions and graphs; polynomial, rational, exponential
and logarithmic functions; systems of equations and inequalities;
conics; the Binomial Theorem. Credit hours are not granted in both
MATH 143 and MATH 147. Prerequisite: MATH 108 with a grade
of ‘C’ or better, or CSI placement test score.
Telecommunication class.

MATH 253 B01V – Introductory Statistics
This algebra-based probability and statistics course covers descriptive
statistics, binomial and normal distribution, confidence intervals,
and hypothesis testing using zt, chi square, and f distributions.
ANOVA and nonparametric hypothesis testing are also introduced.
Prerequisite: MATH 143 with a grade of ‘C’ or better, or instructor
permission. Telecommunication class.
