MATH 128
College Algebra

This course begins with a review of Elementary Algebra topics: fractions, order of operations, exponents and polynomials, one-variable linear equations. The central theme of the course is a study of functions, using both graphic and algebraic methods. The functions we will focus on are: linear (with slope studied as a rate of change), quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic. "Real world" applications of these functions are considered. Students are expected to use a scientific calculator for all aspects of the course. Other technology may be incorporated at the instructor's discretion. Prerequisite: None (3:3,0) or (3:4,0) Permission of instructor required for extended contact hour sections
