MATH143P — Precalculus I: Algebra
This course is the same course as MATH-143 with the additional component of just in time algebra remediation. This course covers the definition of functions and their properties and notation in both algebraic and graphical contexts. Students will be able to apply principles of polynomial and rational equations, functions and their inverses, graphs, systems of equations, complex numbers, sequences, and exponential and logarithmic functions. The lab provides additional instruction and support for MATH-143, Precalculus 1: Algebra. This lab course includes fundamental concepts of algebra; expressions, equations and inequalities; functions and graphs; including quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. MATH-143 or MATH-143P along with MATH-144 prepares students for traditional calculus courses which are required for degrees in mathematics, engineering, computer science, physics, chemistry, and other STEM related fields. Note: The combination of MATH-143 or MATH-143P and MATH-144 may be used in place of MATH-147 as a prerequisite for MATH-170.
Prerequisites: MATH-108, MTHP-143P, MATH-143P
