College Algebra & Trigonometry Satisfies the CUNY Pathways requirement in Mathematical and Quantitative Reasoning. This course serves to prepare students for the mathematics required in the majors and launch them on a trajectory to Calculus. Algebraic concepts and skills are explored in context, and developed through the manipulation of symbolic expressions, equations, and functions. Verbal, numerical, and graphical representations of functions are employed throughout, with a strong emphasis placed on developing conceptual understanding and procedural fluency. Topics include linear and quadratic equations; systems of linear equations; linear inequalities; radical equations; rational expressions; factoring polynomials; rules of exponents; an introduction to exponential, and logarithmic functions; right-triangle trigonometry; an introduction to radians and trigonometric functions in the unit circle; and modeling realistic situations with functions. Students will use graphing calculators and software to solve complex, real-world mathematical problems. Students will design and carry out a robust project involving algebraic analysis of a real-world issue of interest.
The Real Basics of Mathematics In “The Real Basics,” students engage in mathematics as mathematics truly is: a human endeavor that startles us, infuriates us, exasperates us, and thrills us (perhaps all at the same time); and whose products are sometimes inevitable, sometimes ineffable, and frequently both. This course addresses the three fundamental processes at the heart of all mathematics: counting, classifying, and measuring. Emphasis is placed on the relationships among these processes, for instance, how measuring grows out of counting; how classifying enables us to create measurement formulas; and how counting, classifying, and measuring collaborate in the invention of the calculus. Connections between arithmetic and geometry are front and center throughout. The course is designed so that students consider both philosophical and practical matters in a fashion strengthening their knowledge of each domain. An underlying theme is the logic of mathematical discovery, particularly the often differing standards used by mathematicians and laypersons to decide upon mathematical truth. Pre/Co-requisites: None
