| MAT 096S - Intermediate Algebra Self-Paced |
|
An alternative to MAT 096 for students who are highly motivated, goal oriented and able to independently move through the course material. Students set their own deadlines; instructor assistance is available during class and Math Studio time. Students use an online homework system both in and out of class. This course develops algebra skills and a conceptual understanding of algebraic topics, and focuses on the relationship between algebraic, graphical, and numeric approaches to solving problems. Students study topics that include linear equations and systems of equations, methods for solving problems, radicals and radical equations, quadratic equations and the quadratic formula, rational exponents and rational expressions.
