MAT 185 Pre-Calculus Mathematics

This course provides an in-depth exploration of the common elementary functions that a student will meet in calculus: linear and higher degree polynomial functions, rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, and the trigonometric functions. General topics such as inverse functions, function composition, and the arithmetic for functions will also be discussed. If time allows, topics such as data analysis, matrix algebra, and difference equations will be presented. See Placement Test policy under Academic Services. (L07)
