Four goals are emphasized in course at Minnesota West Community & Technical College:

1) ACADEMIC CONTENT:
 a) To solve problems using basic concepts of Algebra and Geometry.
 b) To provide a basic background in algebra to enable the student to progress to college course
work at a higher level with confidence.
 c) To master a higher level of mathematical skill.
 d) To develop a higher level of mathematical thinking.
 e) To develop an appreciation of the language of the sciences.

2) THINKING SKILLS:
 a) Develop the ability of using algebraic expressions to analyze and solve “real-world” problems.
 b) Using and developing mathematical models to understand patterns.
 c) Developing and using problem solving strategies.
 d) Focusing on improving critical thinking skills (logical, observational, insightful, and evaluative).

3) COMMUNICATIONS SKILLS:
 a) Writing concise solution papers to mathematical problems, mathematical ideas and definitions.
 b) Oral interpretation of problems.
 c) Solving problems in cooperative groups.
 d) Organize ideas and data using graphing techniques .
 e) Relating mathematical ideas to “real-world” applications.

4) HUMAN DIVERSITY:
 a) Working in small groups to experience different ways people solve problems and interpret and
develop strategies in solving mathematical problems.
 b) Changing partners from time to time to enrich each person’s point of view.

TOPICS TO BE COVERED:
1) rational expressions and functions; addition subtraction , division, multiplication and simplifying ,
determining LCMs and LCDs
2) division of polynomials, complex rational expressions and solving rational equations
3) radical expressions and functions; addition subtraction, division, multiplication and simplifying
4) introduce imaginary and complex numbers; addition subtraction, multiplication , powers of i ,
conjugates, division and solving complex number equations
5) quadratic formula , solving quadratic equations, graphs of various types of quadratic functions and
mathematical modeling
6) exponential, inverse and composite functions, logarithmic functions and their properties,
mathematical modeling with exponential and logarithmic functions
7) conic sections ; study of the properties and the graphing of parabolas, circles, ellipses and hyperbolas ,
solving systems of equations and applied problems where at least one equation is nonlinear
8) Optional: Elimination Using Matrices and the Sum, Difference, Product and Quotient of Functions

LIST OF EXPECTED COURSE OUTCOMES:
1) demonstrate basic algebra procedures readily needed to solve problems and enhance arithmetic
methods
2) further define and develop algebraic and geometric principles to bridge the gap between basic algebra
and more advanced uses of algebra.
3) demonstrate data collection and mathematical modeling techniques that can be used to understand
mathematical patterns and trends
4) emphasize the practice of writing concise solutions to real-world problems
