2 semesters Prerequisite:
Pre-Algebra or freshman placement by math department. Algebra
is a branch of mathematics that is an important stepping stone to higher
mathematics and very useful in today's technological workplace.
This course develops basic algebraic concepts in a problem solving and
systematic way; turning arithmetic into Algebra by using letters to represent
unknown numbers, and continuing to find the unknown numbers through both
algebraic and graphical means.
Topics include: A review of algebraic concepts, solving one variable
equations, functions, finding and using linear equations and inequalities to
solve problems, finding and using quadratic equations to solve problems, graphs
of equations, solving systems of equations, rational and radical expressions and
equations, matrices, one and two variable statistics and probability.
Students with average mathematical ability should take this course, as it
goes at a slower pace than Algebra A. Required Items: A TI-83 graphics calculator, 1 to 3" binder with 5 tabs, 3.5" disk |
