MAT115 Applied Mathematics

This course provides a thorough review of arithmetic and a solid foundation in algebra, and trigonometry, intended solely for students enrolled in certain technical programs and certificates. Because of the applicable and relevant nature to upper level courses needed in Science and Math-based programs, this Math course is strongly recommended for students committed to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) careers. Topics include units of measure, formulas, equations and inequalities, functions and graphs, systems of equations, quadratic equations; as well as topics in trigonometry, vectors, complex numbers, and applications from various technical fields. It will prepare students for either MAT130, College Algebra & Trigonometry (with a C or better), or MAT145, Precalculus (with a B or better). A TI-83, TI-83 Plus, or TI-84 Plus graphing calculator is required.
