MA179 - College Algebra w/Review

5 Credit(s)

This is a foundational course needed to understand most science, technology, education, and mathematics courses, both at Colby CC and other schools. It is intended to prepare students for Calculus. Topics include solving equations, sketching graphs, and solving inequalities for linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, logarithmic, exponential, and absolute value functions. Transformations of graphs, symmetries, function arithmetic, complex numbers, systems of inequalities, systems of equations, and including matrices will be explored.

This course is intended for students who are not well prepared for college-level algebra. Students not meeting the multiple measure requirements will be required to take this course. (Any student may elect to take this course.)
