MATH 103 : College Algebra
Credits: 3
Functions, graphs and their properties are studied by generalizing and interpreting techniques initially introduced in elementary algebra. Simplification techniques are used to define, simplify, and derive elementary properties of linear, quadratic, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions. Equation, system and inequality solving techniques are used to determine the domain and range and analyze the nature of the roots and intersection points of functions and graphs. Quantitative interpretation and practical application of functions and graphs are included throughout the course.

MATH 111 : Math for Elementary Teachers I
Credits: 3
This course is the first in a two-course sequence (MATH 111 - MATH 112) designed to give elementary education students the depth of understanding necessary to teach mathematics at that level. The emphasis will be on understanding, representing and communicating mathematical ideas; solving problems; and reasoning mathematically. MATH 111 covers problem-solving techniques, number systems and operations, and additional companion topics. Due to potential variation in topic sequencing, it is recommended that students needing both MATH 111 and MATH 112 take the courses sequentially and from the same institution.
Prerequisites:
Placement in ENG 100
and
MATH 82X with a grade of CR
or
Concurrent enrollment in MATH 78B
or

MATH 112 : Math for Elementary Teachers II
Credits: 3
This course is the second in a two-course sequence (MATH 111 - MATH 112) designed to give elementary education students a depth of understanding necessary to teach mathematics at that level. The emphasis will be on understanding, representing and communicating mathematical ideas and procedures; solving problems; and reasoning mathematically. MATH 112 further develops operations, and covers geometry, introductory probability and statistics, and additional companion topics. Due to potential variation in topic sequencing, it is recommended that students needing both MATH 111 and MATH 112 take the courses sequentially and from the same institution.
