Preparatory Pre-Calculus for Engineering and Science I

This course reviews and develops intermediate and advanced Algebra skills. The primary learning outcome for this course is quantitative reasoning, which will require students to read and analyze data, develop mathematical models, draw inferences and support conclusions based on mathematical reasoning. A graphical approach will be utilized throughout the course with an emphasis on solving application problems. Topics include algebraic expressions, mathematical models, polynomials, functions, graphs of functions, systems of linear and non-linear equations and equations (linear, absolute value, quadratic, polynomial, rational and radical).
