MTH 111ALGEBRA SKILLS FOR COLLEGE SUCCESS
Students will learn basic mathematics and critical thinking skills while learning the skills necessary for basic algebra applications. This course bridges the gap between basic arithmetic and beginning algebra topics. Students will develop an understanding of how to evaluate and multiply algebraic expressions, distributive property, combine like terms, solve equations, product rule of exponents, simplify fractional expressions, add, subtract, and multiply polynomials, and factor out the greatest common factor. Students will receive 3 credits, which will show on a transcript; however, credits from this course do not apply towards a degree. Credit Hours: Lecture–2, Lab–1, Credits–3 Prerequisite(s): None
Student’s progress during this course from mathematic fundamentals to more advanced functions applicable within various health care settings. The course will expand from numerical and measurement systems to a focus on fractions, decimals, ratios, proportions, conversions, and calculations. Practical application of learned skills will be accomplished using healthcare-related scenarios. Credit Hours: Lecture–3, Lab–0, Credits–3 Prerequisite(s): Grade of “C” or better in MTH 111 or achievement of the threshold score on the math placement test.
This course covers fundamental topics in algebra and trigonometry. Upon completing this course, the students simplify algebraic and numerical expressions using fundamental operations. Students have a basic understanding of the rectangular coordinate system, can plot points, and evaluate functions at a given point. Students solve systems of two and three-linear equations; work with trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions; and perform the fundamental operations on fractional algebraic expressions. Finally, students can solve problems in technology involving ratio, proportion, and variation.
