Credit cannot be earned in mathematics courses that are
prerequisites for courses already
completed.
150 Introductory Algebra (4)
A study of the basic concepts of algebra such as first-degree equations,
factoring, rational
expressions , graphing, quadratic equations, exponents and radicals . May not be
used to satisfy
general curriculum distribution requirements of the Baccalaureate Experience.
(*fall and spring
semesters)
153 College Geometry (2)
A study of geometric problem-solving and formal synthetic Euclidean
geometry. Students
study properties of basic geometric figures, learn to verify them using formal
proofs, and
use results to solve applied problems. Students also are exposed to the
axiomatic method of
synthetic Euclidean geometry, learning how to verify results and then apply them
to other
proofs and applied problems. Required for education majors; may be taken as an
elective by
other majors. May not be used to satisfy General Curriculum Requirements.
