MATHEMATICS – POST HIGH SCHOOL MATHPH-705 Credits: 1 Survey of Math Concepts Are you experiencing di ffi culty remembering your basic (but important) math skills? If so, this course is for you. Topics covered include a review of the properties of the operations on whole numbers, decimals and fractions. Ratios, proportions and percents are reviewed. Also covered are some algebraic topics such as algebraic terminology, exploration of exponents, practice with the order of operations, and an introduction to simple linear equations. Top it all o ff with applications of these tools to daily life Financial Literacy This course is designed to help you with everyday consumer math skills; math you should and do use all the time. You will learn a wide variety of personal and business math skills. MATHPH-716 Credits: 1 Algebra 1A This course has a brief review of fractions and decimals. The main course consists of the basic operations with real numbers, evaluating algebraic expressions, solving equations, and inequalities with one variable, and operations with algebraic expressions. MATHPH-717 Credits: 1 Algebra 1B This course begins with factoring and the solution of quadratic equations by factoring. It also includes rational expressions, and ratio and proportion, and concludes with operations with algebraic expressions involving fractions. Prerequisite(s): Complete MATHHS-716 or MATHPH-716. MATHPH-721 Credits: 1 Geometry 1 A Euclidean geometry with topics on angle relationships, perpendicular and parallel lines, and polygons. The deduction system is used to establish theorem statements, using direct and indirect proof. Prerequisite(s): Complete MATHHS-717. MATHPH-722 Credits: 1 Geometry 2 Geometry 1 is extended to include similar polygons, right triangles, circles, construction, and logic.

Algebra 1A This course is equivalent to the fi rst semester of fi rst-year algebra. It begins with performing the basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) on signed (+ and -) numbers. The course covers basic algebraic terminology, evaluating expressions, solving equations and inequalities with one variable (letter), and performing the basic operations on expressions. MATHHS-717 Credits: 1 Algebra 1B This course is equivalent to the second semester of fi rst-year algebra. It begins with the di ff erent methods of factoring and applying these methods to solve quadratic equations and work with rational expressions (algebraic fractions). This work includes simplifying (reducing) them, setting up and solving proportions, and performing the basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division on them. Prerequisite(s): Complete MATHHS-716. MATHHS-721 Credits: 1 Geometry 1 Geometric concepts covered include: Points, Lines, Planes, Conditional Statements, Angles, Symbols, Triangles and Proof Writing. Tools, techniques and procedures covered include: Algebraic Properties, Deductive Reasoning, Inductive Reasoning, De fi nitions, Theorems, and Postulates. Prerequisite(s): Complete MATHHS-717. MATHHS-722 Credits: 1 Geometry 2 Geometric concepts covered include: Volume and Surface Area of 3-Dimensional Shapes; Circles, Chords, Arcs, and Tangents; and Right Triangle Trigonometry. Tools, techniques and procedures covered include: Algebraic Properties, Deductive Reasoning, Inductive Reasoning, De fi nitions, Theorems, and Postulates. MATHHS-745 Credits: 1 Advanced Algebra 1A This course is equivalent to the fi rst semester of second-year algebra. The course begins with the graphing of lines. Topics include graphing of linear inequalities in two variables; solving linear systems (two lines) using the graphic, elimination and substitution methods; exploring other methods of solving equations; and the study of roots and radicals. MATHHS-755 Credits: 1 Advanced Algebra 1B This course is equivalent to the second semester of the second year of algebra. Topics include counting techniques and probability, a study of quadratics (the parabola, circle, ellipse and hyperbola), the solution of three equation systems of lines

MATHPH-755 Credits: 1 Advanced Algebra 1B This course o ff ers a sampling of matrix algebra, trigonometry, conic section, probability, statistics, progression, and series. It is designed to whet the appetite for future mathematical studies. MATHPH-772 Credits: 5 MATHPH2: Basic Pre-Algebra This course is designed for students who have graduated from high school, or earned GED or HSED, who did not earn the necessary math placement score to enter their desired college program. This course covers applications of arithmetic processes and introduces basic mathematical concepts in pre-algebra and geometry. This transition course prepares students to succeed in their next math class (Introductory Algebra and subsequent algebra-related courses). OFFICE TECHNOLOGY (DEPARTMENT: 862) OFFTEC-735 Credits: 1 Keyboard, Keypad and Windows This is a competency-based course for learning the alphabetic and numeric keyboard using the touch method. In addition, the numeric keypad is presented. Students experience hands-on practice using a mouse, menus and Windows accessories. Furthermore, the student will format, type, print, edit and save simple documents using Business Operations Co-Op Part 2 Class time consists of a variety of work- related sections designed to improve skills necessary for work with portfolio. Areas covered include database, spreadsheets, math concepts and fi nancial record-keeping. Prerequisite(s): Complete OFFTEC-735. OFFTEC-738 Credits: 2 Business Co-Op Work Experience 1 Class time consists of a variety of work- related sections designed to improve entry-level clerical skills as de fi ned by the portfolio. Among areas covered are a meeting preparation project, a project either accounting-based or technology-based, and business portfolio completion. MS Word. OFFTEC-737 Credits: 3
