MAT 0012 Pre-Algebra
Pre-Algebra is an entry-level course in mathematics emphasizing the fundamental mathematics operations with application to beginning algebra. This is the first course in a sequence designed to prepare students for first year college-level mathematics. Significant time will be devoted to connections between mathematics and other academic disciplines. Credits earned in this course do not fulfill any college-level mathematics requirements nor do they apply toward any college-level credit requirements. A grade of "C" or higher is needed for entry into MAT 0024.

MAT 0024 Beginning Algebra
Beginning Algebra is designed to supplement the algebraic background of students before they take certain courses at the college level. Topics include sets, fundamental operations with polynomials, linear equations and inequalities with applications, factoring and its use in algebra, introduction to graphing of linear equations, introduction to radicals, and use of calculators. This course does not apply toward the mathematics requirements in general education. A grade of "C" or higher is needed for entry into MAT 1033.

MAT 1033 Intermediate Algebra
Intermediate Algebra presents algebraic skills, which are prerequisite for MAC 1105. Topics include: linear equations and inequalities in two variables and their graphs, systems of linear equations and inequalities, introduction to functions, factoring, algebraic fractions, rational equations, radicals and rational exponents, complex numbers, quadratic equations, scientific notation, applications of the above topics and the communication of mathematics. Applications emphasizing connections with disciplines and the real world will be included. This course does not satisfy the Gordon Rule in mathematics, but the course does offer college elective credit. A minimum grade of "C" is required.
