Mathematics

MAT 089 Group Tutorial: Math
This course provides students with additional instruction in mathematical concepts. It is designed to be taken as a co-requisite with another Mathematics course. Emphasis is placed on helping students master mathematical concepts. This will be accomplished through content review from lower level math courses and support for current math assignments from the co-requisite course. 1 credit

 

MAT 090 Basic Mathematics
Topics include a comprehensive review of basic number properties, fundamental operations, computational applications involving fractions, decimals, percentages, proportions, units of measurement, basic geometry, and signed numbers. 3 credits

 

MAT 095 Pre-Algebra
Work includes a review of whole numbers and fraction operations and properties. This course will also introduce selected topics in Algebra including signed numbers, equations and their application, graphing and polynomials. Prerequisites: Appropriate score on the placement test or successful completion of MAT 090. 3 credits

 

MAT 097 Beginning Algebra
An introduction to algebraic models and functions. Focus is on models and functions related to linear equations, and inequalities, rational expressions, radicals, graphing, polynomials, systems of equations, fractional equations, radical equations, and applied problems. Prerequisites: Appropriate score on the placement test or MAT095. 3 credits
