College of Science 593 MATH 1050 QL - College Algebra Credits: (4) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem, Online] Spring [Full Sem, Online] Summer [Full Sem, Online] This course covers a survey of college mathematics and is also a preparatory course for calculus. Topics from continuous mathematics include polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions, equations and their applications, absolute value, polynomial and rational inequalities, and nonlinear systems. Topics from discrete mathematics include matrices, matrix algebra and inverses, determinants, sequences and series, counting techniques, and an introduction to probability. In addition, mathematics of finance, rational zero and binomial theorems and mathematical induction are covered briefly. Prerequisite: MATH 1010 or Math ACT score of 23 or higher or placement test. MATH 1060 - Trigonometry Credits: (3) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem] Spring [Full Sem] Summer [Full Sem] This course is true to its Greek title root "triangle-measure" and is a preparatory course for calculus. Topics include trigonometric functions and their graphs, trigonometric identities, inverse trigonometric functions, trigonometric equations, solving triangles, and applications of trigonometry. Complex numbers, polar coordinates and vectors are also introduced. Prerequisite: MATH 1010 or Math ACT score of 23 or higher or placement test. MATH 1080 QL - Pre-calculus Credits: (5) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem] Spring [Full Sem] Summer [Full Sem] This is an accelerated course that covers the main topics of College Algebra and Trigonometry. It is a single course prerequisite to calculus and is primarily for those students that need a review. Topics include polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions, equations and their applications, absolute value, polynomial and rational inequalities, and nonlinear systems; matrices, matrix algebra and inverses, determinants, sequences and series; trigonometric functions and their graphs, trigonometric identities, inverse trigonometric functions, trigonometric equations, solving triangles, and applications of trigonometry. In addition, conies and polar coordinates are also covered. Prerequisite: MATH 1010 or Math ACT score of 23 or higher or placement test. MATH llio - Calculus Concepts and Applications Credits: (3) A conceptual understanding of the fundamental notions of calculus (limits, continuity, differentiation and integration). Application of these ideas to economics, the social and life sciences, and natural resource modeling is central to the course. Prerequisite: MATH 1050 QL or MATH 1080 QL or placement test.
