MATH - Mathematics

This course is an introduction to the topics of algebra primarily for those students who do not qualify for more advanced math courses due to lack of background or a long absence from the study of mathematics. The topics covered include properties of real numbers, order of operations, polynomial operations, solutions of first degree equations and inequalities in one variable, systems of linear equations, graphing linear equations and properties of linear exponents. Students must earn a C or better grade in this course to register for any credit-bearing math courses. This course does not satisfy any degree requirements.

The course will introduce the student to the following topics: order of operations; applications in geometry; simplifying algebraic expressions; exponents; radicals; solving linear equations; modeling; systems of linear equations; and graphing linear equations. Emphasis is placed on reviewing basic arithmetic skills and then completing elementary algebra topics. Students will work on the development of thinking skills through creative problem solving, writing to explain methods and solutions to problems, and collaborative learning.

This course is intended as a tool for students to learn or review fundamental concepts of mathematics. The course provides a bridge to algebra for students who are not ready to successfully complete that study. Topics covered include operations with whole numbers, integers, fractions and decimals. Additional topics include ratios, proportions, percents, measurement, geometric figures and a very basic introduction to algebra. Students must earn a "C" or better grade in this course to register for the next math course, MATH 1003. This course is often taught in a self-paced-learning format. This course does not satisfy any degree requirements.

The course is a review of arithmetic and a study of basic algebra. Students taking this course do not have sufficient background to attempt College Algebra or other courses of the same level. Topics covered include: the properties of real numbers, basic exponent rules, order of operations, solutions of first degree equations and inequalities, graphing of first degree equations and inequalities, solutions of systems of first degree equations and inequalities, polynomials, factoring, exponents, radicals, solving quadratic equations, an introduction to relations and functions, and an introduction to triangle trigonometry. This course should prepare a student to enter MATH 1033 - College Algebra, MATH 2124 - Statistical Methods and Analysis, MATH 1423 - Explorations in Geometry, MATH 1323 - Quantitative Reasoning, and MATH 2163 - Discrete Mathematics.

This course will introduce the student to the following topics: order of operations; applications in geometry; simplifying algebraic expressions; exponents; radicals; solving linear equations; modeling; systems of linear equations; and graphing linear equations. Emphasis is placed on reviewing basic arithmetic skills and then completing elementary algebra topics. courses.

This course includes topics such as polynomials, radicals, exponents, coordinate geometry, rational expressions and equations, and solutions to linear and quadratic equations. Students are introduced to the concept of functions and their graphs. Additional topics may include conic sections, matrices, variation, and nonlinear inequalities. Emphasis will be placed on problem solving. A graphing calculator is required. Students cannot receive credit for MATH 1033 if they have credit for MATH 1054.

This course is designed primarily for the student who needs a foundation in algebra and trigonometry for the study of calculus. The concept of function and graphical representation of functions is stressed. Topics covered include: real numbers; algebra of real numbers including equations and inequalities; functions and their graphs including polynomial, rational expressions, logarithmic and exponential, trigonometric; algebra of the trigonometric functions including identities, equations, polar coordinates, complex numbers, systems of equations. Prerequisite: NYS 80 HS Average Math A and B (or Course 1,2,3), plus a fourth year Math, or equivalent.

This course includes a review of functions, an introduction to the concept of limits and a study of the techniques of differentiation and integration of algebraic functions with applications to the various technologies.
