Intermediate Algebra - Math 1010

Course Description:

A study of the properties of the real number system, use of set notation, the use of symbolic language, algebraic and graphing methods of solving linear and quadratic equations, and an introduction to inequalities. Heavy emphasis towards the last of the semester is on problem solving. There is no pre-requisite but students are expected to have some background knowledge of basic math principles including fractions, decimals, exponents and solving basic linear equations.

Student Learning Outcomes:

To successfully complete Math 1010, students will show proficiency with:

• Functions (function notation, arithmetic on functions, composition, domain & range)
• Solving and graphing linear inequalities in two variables
• Solving and graphing absolute value equations and inequalities
• Solving systems of linear equations (2x2, including application problems)
• Simplifying, graphing and solving quadratic, radical, rational, absolute value, logarithmic, and exponential expressions and equations
• Arithmetic of complex numbers
