MATHHS-716

Credits: 1

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 and of non-linear systems, and the study of matrices, determinants, and exponential and logarithmic functions.
