(3.00 lec) Strong emphasis is placed on application of algebra and especially on current uses of function models (linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, radical, logarithmic and exponential). The relationship among data, graphs and functions is thoroughly explored. Translating statements and questions from English into mathematics, answering those questions using algebraic procedures and then stating the results again in English will also be discussed in depth. Only symbolic manipulations that have immediate applications will be studied. MATH 0075 is the minimum algebra preparation for MATH 1140: Introductory Statistics, MATH 1160: Mathematical Ideas, and MATH 1165: Mathematics for Teachers. This course does not prepare students for

1:00–5.00 Variable credits (number of credits will be determined by initial ALEKS assessment) This course provides an alternate, self-directed way to learn beginning algebra concepts using ALEKS, a Web- based math assessment and learning system. First, ALEKS will determine your individual study plan and the number of credits for which you need to register. In the classroom, you will use ALEKS at your own pace with the help of an instructor. In the course, you will demonstrate mastery of these concepts: arithmetic readiness, geometry and data analysis, real numbers and variables, algebraic expressions, linear equations and inequalities, literal equations, functions, graphing linear equations in two variables, integer exponents, polynomial arithmetic and factoring, rational expressions and proportions, radicals and rational exponents, and quadratic equations. NOTE: For programs having a mathematics requirement of completion of MATH 0060 only, students should take MATH 0060 instead of MATH 0077.
