MTH 1112 - College Algebra Through Modeling

4(4 + 0)

Prerequisite: Intermediate Algebra course, or 1 1/2 years of high school algebra or equivalent, and required mathematics preassessment placement test score. All course and test score prerequisites for 1000 level MTH courses must be five or fewer years old.

This course places a greater emphasis on applications and data analysis than MTH 1110, College Algebra. The topics covered include: deriving functions to model situations; linear, exponential and logarithmic, power, quadratic functions and their properties and graphs; exponents and logarithms; data analysis and regression; rates of change; linear systems and equations. Basic algebraic skills are essential as a prerequisite to this course. All sections will integrate the use of a graphing calculator into the course. A specific calculator will be required. Only one of MTH 1110 and MTH 1112 will count toward graduation. MTH 1112 does not serve as a prerequisite to MTH 1120 Trigonometry or MTH 1410 Calculus I.Only one of MTH 1110 and MTH 1112 will count toward graduation.(General Studies - Level I, Mathematics)
