MAT-0135C Principles for Precalculus

Credits 3
Principles for Precalculus is an algebra-based co-requisite course designed to provide the skills and conceptual understanding to succeed in the accompanying college-level Precalculus Part 1 course (MAT-1350). Its credit-level corequisite course is the first part of a two-semester sequence intended as preparation for calculus for students who are majoring in a scientific or technical field. In MAT-0135C, students perform operations on algebraic expressions and functions and solve applications involving linear, quadratic, rational and radical equations. Students also solve linear systems using algebraic and graphic methods.

Principles for Precalculus does not satisfy the General Education Mathematics requirement.
