MATHEMATICS (MATH)

Math 1B Basic Math Through Problem Solving (3)

Study of concepts and applications through the use of a variety of

problem-solving techniques of the following topics: whole numbers,

fractions, decimals, ratios, proportions, and percents. Also included

is the development of skills for estimation and approximate solution

procedures. Successful completion of Math 1B will qualify students to

enroll in Math 22. (This course has been replaced in the new math course sequencing. If it is listed as a prerequisite or as recommended preparation for a course you wish to take, please check with your instructor or a counselor to determine its equivalent.)

MATH 9 Whole Number Skills (1)

Math 9 covers arithmetical operations with whole numbers, and introduces the concepts of fractions, decimals, and percent. Estimation and associated applications will also be included.

Corequisite: MATH 16

MATH 16 Math Study Skills (1)

Students in MATH 16 study and apply essential study skills needed to succeed in mathematics and other mathematics-related courses. Techniques are introduced to reduce math anxiety, improve note-taking skills, manage time effectively, employ effective study techniques, and practice sound math test-taking skills. This course is recommended for students taking their first developmental math course. (Cross-listed as IS 16)

MATH 18 Essential Mathematics for Algebra (3)

MATH 18 covers essential mathematical concepts and procedures needed for success in Elementary Algebra: properties of and operations with whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, integers, signed numbers, and exponents, ratios, proportion, and percent with applications variable expressions and simplification elementary linear equations with applications and basic plane geometry.

Prerequisite: Any one of the following, or an articulated equivalent, within the past two years: C or better in MATH 1B, CR in MATH 9, OR qualifying placement test score (21 or higher in the COMPASS pre-algebra placement domain) Formerly MATH 97.

MATH 22 Pre-Algebra Mathematics (3)

MATH 22 provides students who have a solid background in basic

arithmetic with the computational, problem-solving, and analytical

skills needed for study in algebra. The emphasis is on fundamental

concepts: operations with integers, fractions, and signed numbers,

study of geometric figures, ratios, proportions, and percents, and

an introduction to variables, expressions, solving equations and

translating verbal statements into algebraic expressions and equations.

Interpreting, modeling and solving applied problems are emphasized

throughout the course.

Prerequisite: Any one of the following, or an articulated equivalent, within

the past two years: C or better in MATH 1B OR qualifying placement test

score (31 or higher in the COMPASS Pre-Algebra placement domain). (This course has been replaced in the new math course sequencing. If it is listed as a prerequisite or as recommended preparation for a course you wish to take, please check with your instructor or a counselor to determine its equivalent.)

MATH 50C Technical Mathematics I: Automotive and Diesel Mechanics (3)

MATH 50C covers the mathematical techniques and applications necessary to perform tasks and solve problems encountered by automotive technologists. Mathematical topics include arithmetic operations, geometry, ratio, proportion, and percent. Applications include major automotive systems, including engines, electrical, drive train, chassis, and ventilation.

Prerequisite: Any one of the following within the past two years C or better in MATH 1B; OR CR in MATH 18; OR qualifying placement test score (30 or higher in COMPASS pre-algebra); OR consent of instructor.

MATH 50H Technical Mathematics: Food Service (3)

MATH 50H is a course that develops applications of mathematics necessary in hospitality education, especially in the area of food trades. Mathematical concepts and techniques that are introduced and developed in Pre-Algebra are used to interpret, model and solve a variety of problems relating to the food industry. Topics include dry and liquid measurements, measurements by weight, adjusting and costing recipes, yield percentage, basic nutrition, and simple business form and report preparation and analysis.

Prerequisite: C or better in ENG 19 and any one of the following (or articulated equivalent) within the past two years: C or better (or CR) in MATH 18, or C or better in MATH 22, or qualified placement test score (30 or higher in COMPASS Pre-Algebra).

MATH 73 Algebraic Foundations I (3)

MATH 73 strengthens the problem-solving skills needed for the

transition into MATH 83 (Algebraic Foundations II). MATH 73

studies algebraic concepts and applications through the use of a

variety of problem-solving techniques of the following topics: signed

numbers, algebraic expressions, equations, exponents, polynomials,

special products, and factoring.

Prerequisite: Any one of the following, or an articulated equivalent, within

the past two years: C or better (or CR) in Math 18 OR C or better in MATH

22 OR Qualifying placement test score (47 or higher in the COMPASS

prealgebra placement domain) (This course has been replaced in the new math course sequencing. If it is listed as a prerequisite or as recommended preparation for a course you wish to take, please check with your instructor or a counselor to determine its equivalent.)

MATH 82 Accelerated Algebraic Foundations (4)

MATH 82 covers essential algebraic concepts and procedures needed for success in College Algebra, Survey of Mathematics, and Statistics courses: signed numbers, exponents, roots, and radicals, expressions and polynomials, special products, factoring, linear equations, inequalities, and systems, quadratic equations, rational expressions and equations, graphing, function notation, and applications. (Formerly MATH 98)

Prerequisite: Any one of the following, or an articulated equivalent, within the past two years: CR in MATH 18 OR C or better in MATH 22 OR qualifying placement test score (30 or higher in the COMPASS algebra placement domain).

MATH 83 Algebraic Foundations II (3)

MATH 83 further develops the concepts of algebra introduced in

MATH 73, with emphasis on polynomials, special products and

factoring, linear and quadratic equations, inequalities, graphing,

systems of linear equations, roots and radicals.

Prerequisite: C or better in MATH 73, or equivalent, within the past two

years. (This course has been replaced in the new math course sequencing. If it is listed as a prerequisite or as recommended preparation for a course you wish to take, please check with your instructor or a counselor to determine its equivalent.)
