MTH-1120T - College Algebra* (M) (3)

Prerequisite: MTH 0994
Designed to provide students with a solid foundation in algebra this course is intended primarily for students with scientific or technical majors, and with MTH-1130 , prepares students for the study of calculus. Topics include real and complex numbers, intervals, algebraic, exponential and logarithmic functions, graphing and solving various types of equations involving second and higher order terms, radicals, and absolute value. Graphical interpretations are emphasized throughout the course. Some topics are supported by the use of computer software and the use of graphing calculators. This course satisfies the General Education Mathematics requirement.
