Calculus I
Calculus I concentrates on limits, differentiation, and integration. It includes exponential, trigonometric, and logarithmic functions. Students apply their learning to sketching curves, finding areas and volumes, and solving problems in the physical sciences and other fields. If time permits, the course introduces differential equations. (Prerequisites: MATH180W or POI)
Pre-Calculus
Using graphical, numerical, and algebraic approaches, Pre-Calculus covers floor, power, linear, rational, circular, exponential, logarithmic, polynomial, and absolute-value functions. The course also explores the quadratic functions forming circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. The course highlights where calculus uses these elements and functions, and concludes by introducing students to limits, numerical derivatives, and numerical integrals. If […]
College Algebra
In College Algebra, topics include linear, quadratic, and higher degree equations; rational, radical, exponential, and logarithmic equations; graphs of functions; models and applications of functions; systems of linear equations; matrices and conic sections; sequences and series; and trigonometry.
Quantitative Reasoning
Quantitative Reasoning exposes students to a wide range of general mathematics. The course emphasizes and reinforces problem solving and critical thinking, along with the use of technology, as students become actively involved in solving applied problems. Topics include geometry, measurement, probability, statistics, finance, number theory and systems, functions and modeling, and selected subtopics related to […]
