This course does not fulfill graduation requirements.

MH101 Algebra I (3 credits)

This course introduces the student to the basic concepts of algebra. Topics include the real number system, exponents, linear equations, ratios and proportions, graphs of linear equations, operations with polynomials, and factoring. PR: MH093 or by placement.

MH102 Algebra II (3 credits)

This course continues the study of algebra begun in Algebra I. Topics include absolute value equations, functions and graphs, linear equations and systems, rational expressions and equations, variation, radical expressions and equations, complex numbers, and quadratic equations. PR: MH101 or placement.

MH103 Integrated Algebra (4 credits)

This course introduces the student to the fundamental concepts of algebra. Topics include the following types of expressions and equations: linear, rational, and radical. Other topics covered include exponents, functions and factoring. PR: MH093 or placement.

MH201 College Algebra (3 credits)

This course continues the study of algebra begun in Algebra II. Topics include graphs of basic functions, transformations of functions, graphs of inequalities, and quadratic functions and their applications. Higher-degree polynomial functions, their equations and inequalities, rational functions and their graphs, and power and root functions will also be presented. PR: MH102 or MH103 or placement.

MH203 Survey of Mathematics (3 credits)

This course explores a variety of concepts, with a focus on quantitative reasoning. Topics include critical thinking skills, consumer mathematics, geometry, probability, and statistics. PR: MH102 or MH103 or placement.

MH214 Precalculus (3 credits)

This course continues the study of algebra begun in College Algebra. Students examine inverse and exponential functions, logarithms and their properties, circles, parabolas, and ellipses. Other topics include solutions to linear systems, matrix properties and operations, trigonometric functions, their graphs and fundamental identities. Additionally, trigonometry and right triangles, circular functions, vectors, and the Laws of Sines and Cosines will be discussed. PR: MH201 or placement.

MH216 Statistics (3 credits)

This course introduces students to methods of descriptive and inferential statistics. Measures of central tendency and dispersion are presented for raw data along with frequency distribution tables for grouped data. Binomial and normal distributions are studied and differences in means and proportions within a single population are explored. This course concludes with the study of correlation and regression. PR: MH201 or placement.

MH224 Calculus I (3 credits)

This course begins with a review of graphing techniques using common business problems as applications. The concepts of continuity and limits are introduced along with differentiation rules and integration techniques for common functions. Analysis techniques for graphing higher order polynomials and other important functions are also covered. PR: MH214 or placement.
