MATH108 — ^Pre-Calculus
This course is a one-semester preparation for calculus, which includes various topics in algebra and trigonometry. Algebra topics include the analysis of linear, quadratic, polynomial, radical, rational, absolute value, piecewise, exponential and logarithmic functions and their graphs along with applications. Trigonometry topics include the study of angles and trigonometric functions using both the unit circle and right triangle approaches, verifying trigonometric identities, solving trigonometric equations, solving right and oblique triangles with applications, and analyzing the characteristics of trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions. Other topics include complex numbers, sequences, series and summation notation. As time permits, additional topics may be chosen from systems of equations, partial fractions, conic sections, vectors, polar coordinates, and/or mathematical induction.
