“C” or better. (LM)
MATH 50—Elementary Algebra (4 units)
Introductory algebra; topics include signed numbers, graphing, linear equations ,
quadratic equations , and systems of linear equations in two variables.
Prerequisite: MATH 111 with a grade of “C” or better or qualifying score on
Placement Examination. (L)
MATH-50A Elementary Algebra First Half (3 Units)
Introductory algebra; topics include signed numbers, graphing, linear equations ,
and introduction to functions. Designed for a wide variety of students,
including
those who have been unsuccessful in MATH 50, are math anxious, or desire
a slower paced, year-long version of MATH 50. Intended to provide students
with additional exposure to algebraic concepts and additional time to practice
them, is the first half of Elementary Algebra and, together with MATH 50B, is
equivalent to MATH 50 for courses that require MATH 50 as a prerequisite.
Prerequisite: Qualifying score on Placement Examination, or MATH 111 with a
grade of “C” or better. (L)
MATH-50B Elementary Algebra Second Half (3 Units)
Introductory algebra; topics include quadratic equations, absolute value
equations, systems of linear equations in two variables, compound inequalities ,
factorization of polynomials . Designed for a wide variety of students, including
those who have been unsuccessful in Math 50, are math anxious, or desire a
slower paced, year-long version of Math 50. Intended to provide students with
additional exposure to algebraic concepts and additional time to practice them,
is
the second half of Elementary Algebra and, together with Math 50A, is equivalent
to Math 50 for courses that require Math 50 as a prerequisite. Math 50B is also
suitable for students who desire to review the latter part of Math 50 before
taking
Math 52. Prerequisite: MATH 50A with a grade of “C” or better. (L)
MATH 52—Intermediate Algebra (3 or 4 units)

Interpretation of and reasoning with quantitative information. Coverage of
logic; units analysis; uses and abuses of percentages, ratios, and indices;
financial management; and statistics. This course satisfies the associate degree
requirement but does not satisfy the prerequisite for a transferable math
course.
